Winter is a great season for aesthetic treatments. Temperatures dropping and air becoming drier means that skin could require extra care and attention.
Plus, the holiday season usually produces plenty of photos with family and friends, which is all the more reason to make sure your complexion looks great.
Vibrant Med Spa curates a collection of med spa treatments for looking and feeling great throughout the colder months.
Chemical peels are popular med spa treatments during winter months. Reduced sun exposure makes this time ideal for shedding damaged outer layers of skin to reveal a fresh glowing complexion beneath.
Chemical-peel treatments are good for the following:
Post-treatment skin will be more sensitive to UV rays, so winter’s naturally lower sun intensity creates a perfect recovery environment.
Laser treatments stimulate collagen production to reveal smoother skin. Targeted laser energy resurfaces the skin for rejuvenation.
Cooler weather and more time spent indoors can also make the recovery easier.
For instance, the CO2 laser treatment Tetra CoolPeel® can target issues like the following:
Med spa treatments like BOTOX® and dermal fillers—the former relaxes muscles, the latter fills in lines—comes with advantages when you get these in the winter.
Holiday parties and family gatherings are on the horizon, so scheduling these treatments now can refresh and rejuvenate skin for the seasonal celebrations—and the inevitable photos you’ll be in.
Wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX® smooth the lines that naturally occur from frowning or smiling. Wrinkle relaxers are also called neurotoxins because these temporarily block nerve signals that cause the wrinkle-producing muscle contractions. Most patients can expect three to four months of results.
Dermal fillers are injectables that use hyaluronic acid (HA) to restore volume and enhance facial contours. Examples include JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®. These can improve the following areas:
Hormonal balances are sensitive to aging, stress, genetics, and environmental toxins. Hormonal imbalances can cause issues with metabolism, sleep patterns, and libido.
HRT treatments like BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy can rebalance hormones. Optimizing hormone levels can reduce hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, and other issues you may be experiencing because of hormonal imbalances.
Winter’s harsh drying effect on the skin can be counteracted with hydrating med spa treatments. Hydrating facials like the HydraFacial do more than just hydrate the skin, but also cleanse and exfoliate and extract impurities.
These treatments can minimize fine lines, reduce wrinkles, clear pores, enhance skin tone and texture, and, of course, improve hydration.
Microneedling causes controlled micro-injuries triggering skin’s natural healing response. That in turn boosts collagen and elastin production.
This treatment is ideal for anyone looking to improve texture, smooth scarring, treat stretch marks, and more. Winter’s lower UV index is helpful for microneedling, as skin will be less vulnerable to sun damage during the healing process.
Med spa treatments for body contouring are for people who want to target areas that stubbornly resist change despite appropriate exercise and dietary measures.
Common treatment areas include:
CoolSculpting® can eliminate up to a quarter of the fat in a target area in a single treatment.
CoolTone® strengthens, tones, and firms muscles by using magnetic muscle stimulation. A 30-minute session is the equivalent of 20,000 sit-ups. Thighs, abdomen, and buttocks are FDA-approved treatment areas for this treatment.
IV hydration therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and amino acids. That in turn can replenish energy and strengthen the immune system, perfect during cold and flu season.
Treatment usually lasts an hour. Some people get monthly or even weekly infusions to consistently enjoy the many benefits of IV hydration therapy.
Laser hair-removal treatments are perfect for winter because you can avoid sun exposure and tanning before and after sessions.
Since these treatments typically require from six to a dozen sessions for the full effects, starting now can help you get smooth hair-free skin in your treatment area by the time swimsuit season arrives.
A comprehensive skincare consultation during winter can help you reassess your skincare routine and invest in medical-grade products tailored to skin’s specific needs.
At Vibrant Med Spa, we know that everyone who walks through our doors has a unique combination of skincare goals and needs. So, our consultations are essential for identifying appropriate treatments that address winter dryness and other skin issues that cold dry air can cause.
Make the most of winter at Vibrant Med Spa!
