Why Maintenance Matters: Building a Year-Round Aesthetic Plan Starting This Spring
From the Epxperts Summit Dermatology in Medford, OR
Spring is a season of new beginnings—and the perfect time to hit “refresh” on your skincare and aesthetic goals. While many patients think of treatments like Botox, fillers, or lasers as one-and-done solutions, the secret to lasting results and healthy, radiant skin is consistency.
At Summit Dermatology in Medford, OR, we’re passionate about helping you build a customized, year-round aesthetic plan that evolves with your skin and lifestyle. Whether you're brand new to aesthetics or looking to maximize the treatments you already love, spring is the ideal time to create your roadmap to long-term skin confidence.
The Power of a Maintenance Mindset
Many of today’s most popular aesthetic treatments—like Botox®, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and medical-grade facials—are designed to build upon themselves over time. Starting a thoughtful treatment schedule in spring helps you:
Prepare your skin for sun exposure in summer
Boost collagen while it’s most effective
Plan strategically for big events or travel
Prevent early signs of aging before they become permanent
Budget and space out your appointments for stress-free self-care
Think of it like fitness or dental hygiene: small, consistent steps yield the best long-term results.
A Sample Year-Round Aesthetic Maintenance Plan
Here’s what a well-rounded plan might look like when you start in spring:
Spring (March–May): Rejuvenate and Reset
Botox or Dysport: Refresh tired areas (forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet) after winter’s dryness.
Light-based facials (BBL, IPL): Reverse sun damage and pigmentation buildup.
Skincare Reset: Switch to lighter, antioxidant-rich routines with Skinbetter Science’s Alto Advanced Defense Serum for spring sun protection and collagen support.
Plan Ahead: Start laser hair removal or RF microneedling now for full results by summer.
Summer (June–August): Protect and Preserve
Sunscreen & Antioxidants: Daily SPF is non-negotiable—Hydrinity’s silky, non-pilling HA serum layers beautifully under SPF and makeup.
Hydration Facials: Maintain glow with no-downtime treatments like Hydrafacials or light chemical peels.
Botox Touch-Up: Maintain results from spring treatments as expressions and sun exposure increase.
Fall (September–November): Repair and Restore
Laser Resurfacing (CoolPeel, Tetra CO2): Ideal time to address texture, scarring, and fine lines
Under-Eye Filler or Lip Filler: Prep for the holidays with subtle volume and rejuvenation.
Post-Summer Skincare: Reintroduce gentle retinoids or Noon Aesthetics’ irritation-free actives to reverse UV damage and boost skin turnover
Winter (December–February): Deep Treatments & Prep for Spring
RF Microneedling or Ultrasound Lifting: Great time for collagen-stimulating treatments with minimal sun exposure risk.
Nutrafol: Add in hair-support supplements for whole-body aesthetic care.
Skincare Repair Mode: Use barrier-building products like Skinbetter AlphaRet Overnight Cream to hydrate and restore your skin’s glow.
Why Injectables Need Maintenance, Too
While Botox and fillers offer amazing results, they’re not permanent—and that’s actually a good thing. With consistent touch-ups, we can:
Prevent deep wrinkle formation
Use less product over time
Maintain natural-looking results without drastic changes
Botox/Dysport: Every 3–4 months
Filler: Every 6–12 months (depending on product and area)
Pro tip: Plan treatments in advance to coincide with major events like weddings, vacations, or reunions.
Medical-Grade Skincare: Your At-Home Foundation
Your skincare routine should work in harmony with your in-office treatments. At Summit Dermatology, we offer medical-grade skincare from Skinbetter Science, Hydrinity, and Noon Aesthetics, customized for your skin type and treatment plan.
Not sure what to use? We’ll help you build a regimen that includes:
Antioxidants (to prevent damage)

Brightening agents or retinoids (to maintain results)
Broad-spectrum SPF (daily, year-round)
