Starting 2026 Off Right with an Annual Skin Plan

Your Expert Guide to Anti-Aging, Skin Tightening & Youthful Skin at Solstice Med Spa in Castle Rock, CO

INTRODUCTION: This Is the Year You Stop Guessing About Your Skin

If you’ve spent the past few years Googling “best anti-aging treatments,” buying skincare that didn’t deliver, or scheduling appointments only when something starts to bother you — you’re not alone. Most women walk into a med spa feeling overwhelmed by choices:

  • Do I need laser?
  • Is microneedling better for wrinkles or texture?
  • Should I start with skin tightening or a peel?
  • What order do treatments even go in?

Here’s the truth no one talks about:

👉 Anti-aging is NOT about booking random treatments. It’s about having a plan.

And in Castle Rock, CO, the place to create that plan is Solstice Med Spa, with your trusted provider and skin expert, Gina.

In 2026, your skin deserves more than quick fixes — it deserves strategy. A customized, thoughtful Annual Skin Plan that maps out:

  • What treatments you get
  • When you get them
  • How they work together
  • And how they lead you toward your anti-aging goals

This isn’t “just another med spa appointment.”
It’s a roadmap to your most confident, lifted, youthful year yet.

And today, we’re breaking down exactly what that looks like.

What Is an Annual Skin Plan — and Why Every Woman Over 40 Needs One

An Annual Skin Plan is a 12-month roadmap created by Gina at Solstice Med Spa that outlines:

  • Which treatments you need for your anatomy and aging pattern
  • The frequency and timing of those treatments
  • How one treatment prepares your skin for the next
  • Seasonal adjustments (because Colorado skin changes dramatically)
  • Home care that supports your in-office results

Instead of throwing treatments at the problem, the skin plan builds results that stack, strengthen, and age-proof your skin over time.

Why it matters for Castle Rock women:

Castle Rock’s climate — dry air, altitude, intense UV — accelerates:

  • Collagen breakdown
  • Fine lines
  • Age spots
  • Sagging along the jawline
  • Under-eye hollowness
  • Rough, dull texture

A yearly, intentional plan stops guessing and starts creating:

 ✔ Stronger collagen
✔ Lifted, tighter skin
✔ Brighter, even tone
✔ Reduced lines + wrinkles
✔ Healthy, hydrated barrier
✔ Natural, age-reversing results

This is the foundation of long-term anti-aging.

And now, let’s walk through the exact services that make your Annual Skin Plan at Solstice Med Spa so powerful.

Microneedling — The Foundation of Collagen Rebuilding

If you’re over 40, collagen is the number one thing your skin is missing.

And microneedling is the treatment that rebuilds it.

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling creates micro-injuries that trigger your body to produce:

  • Fresh collagen
  • Stronger elastin
  • Firmer, smoother skin

Think of it this way: every session is a “collagen deposit” into your skin’s long-term savings account.

What Microneedling Treats

  • Fine lines
  • Early wrinkles
  • Large pores
  • Rough texture
  • Acne scars
  • Crepey under-eye skin
  • Dullness

How Often You Need It

👉 3 sessions to start, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
👉 1–2 maintenance treatments per year

Why It Belongs in Your Annual Skin Plan

Microneedling prepares the skin for:

  • Better laser results
  • Deeper product absorption
  • Stronger skin tightening outcomes
  • Smoother makeup and skincare results

It’s the “primer” step of your anti-aging plan.

RF Microneedling — The Upgrade That Tightens & Lifts

RF Microneedling is the powerhouse version of microneedling — combining collagen stimulation with radiofrequency heat to tighten, lift, and firm deeper layers of the skin.

What RF Microneedling Treats

  • Sagging around the jawline
  • Loose skin under the chin
  • Laxity in cheeks
  • Deep wrinkles
  • Crepey neck skin

How RF Boosts Anti-Aging

Regular microneedling = surface collagen
RF microneedling = deep tissue tightening

This pairing helps combat gravity, elasticity loss, and early jowls.

How Often You Need It

👉 2–4 sessions per year
👉 Ideal for women entering their 40s, 50s, and beyond

Why RF Microneedling Pairs with Other Services

RF tightens the structure beneath the skin.
Microneedling smooths the surface.

Together?
Your skin looks lifted and refined — naturally.

Laser Treatments — Your Key to Bright, Even, Spot-Free Skin

Laser treatments are essential for any woman fighting:

  • Age spots
  • Sun damage
  • Broken capillaries
  • Redness
  • Freckles
  • Uneven tone
  • Photoaging

In Castle Rock’s high-altitude UV exposure, laser is non-negotiable for an anti-aging plan.

How Lasers Reverse Sun Damage

Lasers target pigmentation, break it apart, and encourage clearer, brighter skin over time.

This is what creates those stunning “after” photos.

What Laser Pairs Well With

Laser results are massively enhanced when combined with:

  • Monthly facials
  • Microneedling
  • Corrective skincare
  • Chemical peels

Consider it your yearly deep clean.

How Often You Need It

👉 1–2 times per year
👉 More if treating heavy sun damage

Skin Tightening at Solstice — Combatting Gravity the Smart Way

Anti-aging isn’t just about wrinkles — it’s about structure.

As we age, the skin loses firmness around:

  • Jawline
  • Cheeks
  • Eyes
  • Neck

And this requires targeted skin tightening treatments such as:

  • RF Microneedling
  • Ultrasound-based tightening (if applicable)
  • Skin tightening devices listed on your services page

Why Tightening Matters

Because even perfect skin texture cannot hide drooping or laxity.

A strategic Annual Skin Plan includes tightening early in the year because:

  • It strengthens foundational support
  • It lifts and sculpts before events and summer photos
  • It slows down future sagging
  • It amplifies results of all other treatments

How Often You Need It

👉 2–3 treatments annually, depending on anatomy

Chemical Peels — The Secret Weapon for Smooth, Youthful Skin

Peels are essential for:

  • Brightness
  • Clarity
  • Pigment correction
  • Texture refinement
  • Boosting product absorption

Peels gently remove the dull, damaged top layer of skin, revealing the glow beneath.

Why Peels Matter in Castle Rock

Dry climate = buildup
High UV = pigmentation
Seasonal changes = texture issues

Peels keep your skin consistent, polished, and smooth.

How Often You Need Them

👉 2–4 peels per year
👉 Great between microneedling or laser sessions

Monthly Facials — Your Maintenance Step

Professional facials are the “tune-ups” that keep your results lasting:

  • Deep cleansing
  • Hydration
  • Exfoliation
  • LED or lymphatic drainage (depending on your provider)

Your skin changes month to month, and so should your facial.

Why Monthly Facials Matter

Because they:

  • Extend the life of every treatment
  • Boost radiance
  • Keep your skin barrier healthy
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Prevent breakouts
  • Maintain hydration

How Often You Need Them

👉 Once per month
 Like clockwork.

Injectables — Strategically Placed Throughout the Year

Injectables are not about looking different — they’re about preserving what you love.

At Solstice Med Spa, Gina focuses on natural, conservative enhancements through:

  • Tox
  • Filler
  • Biostimulators (if applicable to your menu)

The Anti-Aging Power of Injectables

  • Tox softens wrinkles and prevents deeper lines
  • Filler restores youthful shape and volume
  • Biostimulators stimulate collagen naturally

How Injectables Fit Into Your Annual Plan

January–March
→ Tox + Collagen building treatments

Spring
→ Filler (skin is hydrated, plumped, healing well)

Summer
→ Lighter treatments + skincare focus

Fall
→ Laser season
→ Peels + tightening

Winter
→ Annual reset: tightening + collagen again

This creates a cycle where results build continuously rather than fade.

Medical-Grade Skincare — The Glue That Holds All Results Together

If you invest in treatments without proper skincare…you’re losing results and money.

Solstice Med Spa evaluates:

  • Vitamin C
  • Retinol
  • SPF
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Growth factors
  • Peptide serums
  • Barrier repair

These are not optional.
They are essential.

Why Medical-Grade Matters More Than Ever

Drugstore skincare sits on the surface.
Medical-grade penetrates deeper layers where aging actually happens.

This is what keeps your Annual Skin Plan working between every appointment.

How All These Treatments Work Together (Your Full Anti-Aging Blueprint)

Here’s what a strategic Annual Skin Plan might look like:

Winter (January–March)

  • Plan consultation
  • Skin tightening
  • Microneedling series begins
  • Start retinol + vitamin C

Spring (April–June)

  • RF microneedling
  • Light peels
  • Tox touch-up
  • Monthly facials continue

Summer (July–September)

  • Skincare-focused treatments
  • Hydrating facials
  • Preventative tox

Fall (October–December)

  • Laser season

  • Set 2027 goals

This is how you turn yearly treatments into lifelong results.
