With the colder months reducing your exposure to the harsh sun, it's an ideal time to explore treatments that can rejuvenate and repair your skin, leaving it ready to glow by the time spring arrives. Natalie Abouchar, skin care expert and owner of Privée Clinic, sheds light on why winter is the best season for skin treatments and shares the top five treatments to consider during this period.
Why Winter for Skin Treatments?
The limited sun exposure during these months is beneficial for anyone looking to undergo skin treatments. "Winter shields you from the extensive sun exposure that you're subjected to in summer," Natalie explains. This natural reduction in UV exposure is crucial post-treatment to avoid complications like hyperpigmentation, especially after procedures that sensitize the skin to sunlight.
Top 5 Winter Skin Treatments
1. Cosmelan
This treatment is excellent for those people wanting to reduce pigmentation and melasma. By removing dead cells and stimulating collagen production, Cosmelan not only works to reveal the smooth skin underneath, but also works wonders in reducing blemishes caused by melanin.
2. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Targeting dark spots, freckles and sun damage, IPL treatments break down these areas without damaging the surrounding skin. The minimal sun exposure required post-treatment makes winter the perfect season for this procedure.
3. Venus Viva Radio Frequency Skin Resurfacing (RF)
This RF treatment is excellent for those looking to enhance their skin's texture and tightness. By triggering collagen production, it offers a minimally invasive solution to achieve firmer, more youthful skin with minimal downtime.
4. Skin Needling
Ideal for combating the effects of dry, winter air, skin needling promotes collagen synthesis through controlled micro-injuries. This results in smoother, firmer skin, with the added benefit of minimal recovery time.
5. Bio-remodelling Treatment
Offering a refresh during the dry winter months, bio-remodelling treatments hydrate and stimulate the skin for a natural, subtle lift. Although not dependent on the season i.e. you can get this treatment in every season, it will hydrate your skin’s appearance during the cooler months if your skin is normally dry in Autumn/Winter. This procedure is especially beneficial for restoring skin laxity and enhancing overall skin health.
Conclusion
Choosing to undergo skin treatments in winter not only minimizes risks associated with sun exposure but also ensures that your skin is at its most receptive. By considering treatments like Cosmelan, IPL, Venus Viva RF skin resurfacing, skin needling, and bio-remodelling, you can take full advantage of this season to emerge with radiant, refreshed skin just in time for spring.
