Recommended Cosmetic Treatments for Winter

As the days get shorter and colder, we spend more time indoors snuggled up unless it’s time for the work/friends/family Christmas party. Although that is the case, winter can be an excellent opportunity to get the most out of some of our popular cosmetic treatments.

You might already have cosmetic treatments throughout the year, but did you know that treatments involving lasers are more effective in winter? Below we outline our recommended cosmetic treatments for winter, but before we start, why are laser treatments more effective in the winter?

It is a common misconception that all cosmetic treatments work as effectively as one another all year round. Due to the changing temperatures, exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors, different cosmetic treatments can have different effects during different times of the year.

Laser treatments, in particular, are much more effective during the colder winter months. This is primarily due to a lack of sun exposure to the areas where lasers have impacted the skin. Lasers often target the pigmentation in your skin. When the skin is tanned, the laser has difficulty targeting the problem areas making the treatment less effective. However, the lasers can work their magic when the skin is pale.

Does this mean that laser treatments only work on pale skin?

No. At our clinic in Southampton, we use the Soprano Ice Platinum machine, which makes this treatment inclusive of all complexions. It was common for old-technology laser treatments to impact melanin in the skin to achieve the same permanent results. We only use industry-leading technology to perform treatments on all skin pigmentations effectively. We can learn more about how laser hair removal is perfect for all skin types in our blog.

Laser Pigmentation Treatment

Look after your skin this winter with Harmony Laser Pigmentation treatment. The Harmony© Laser allows us to treat a wide variety of skin pigmentations, from removing red veins and rosacea to reducing skin pigmentation safely and permanently.

Unwanted skin pigmentation is something which many people will notice at some point in their life. We can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin using infrared so that you have more even, radiant, youthful-looking skin. So, arrive at the Christmas party feeling rejuvenated this year and feel confident in your natural beauty.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hairs from an area of the body using a high-heat laser. This form of laser therapy heats the hair follicles just below the skin, which are responsible for producing new hairs. Heating the follicles temporarily stops any new hairs from forming.

More common hair removal techniques, such as shaving, waxing and tweezing, are not as successful in preventing hair regrowth. Although you may have more spare time at home during winter, one laser hair removal session will last you through the entire period. By the time it’s time for another session, we’ll be getting ready for summer.

Clearlift Laser Treatment

Reduce wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone and the laxity of skin in delicate areas across the face, neck, and décolletage. Suitable for all skin types, the Clearlift Skin Remodelling treatment is clinically proven to be safe, effective and virtually painless. In addition, the Harmony is FDA-approved and CE-marked, so you know you’re receiving the highest quality treatments with the best technology available.

During the winter, collagen production is needed more than ever to maintain clear and healthy skin. ClearLift© Lasers remodel your skin by boosting collagen and elastin production using a specially designed Q-Switch Nd: YAG laser to penetrate deep into the epidermis to address imperfections.

Obagi Nu-derm Laser treatment

The Obagi Nu-Derm Laser treatment is a prescription-only skin care system which encourages skin cell production. This treatment penetrates deep into the skin to improve pigmentation and promote the repair of any damage in all layers of the skin.

This treatment impacts the skin at the cellular level to promote younger and healthier-looking skin. The ingredients used in the treatment trigger your body to create new skin cells on the surface, resulting in smoother skin and reducing lines and wrinkles. It also boosts collagen and elastin production for firmer and more resilient skin, improving circulation and nutrient supply for natural hydration and healthy glowing skin.

This treatment is perfect for winter because Obagi Nu-Derm is unavailable when your skin has tanned, regardless of its original pigmentation.
