5 Beauty Treatments That Are Perfect To Get During The Winter

For a large portion of the northern hemisphere, winter isn’t the season to be hitting the beach or spending the days lounging around outdoors. Though we may miss the warmer and sunnier days of the year, there’s actually a hidden advantage to spending more time inside. Certain beauty treatments can cause photosensitive reactions or hyperpigmentation if the skin is exposed to direct sunlight following treatment, making them less than ideal for the summertime—but perfect to get during the winter!

Chemical peel

For the ultimate skin renewing treatment try out a chemical face peel! Chemical peels can be used to treat wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, scarring, and uneven skin tone. During the treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the face, which breaks down the top layer of the epidermis, removing dead skin cells and improving the overall appearance of your skin—and not only that, but chemical peels also stimulate the growth of new skin cells.

Laser resurfacing

If you feel that a chemical peel may not be right for you, but you’re looking to target symptoms such as acne, scars, discoloration, and signs of aging, then consider booking a laser skin resurfacing treatment. With laser resurfacing, a fractional laser is pointed at the desired area, removing the skin’s outer layer, and boosting collagen production, in the end resulting in newer and younger looking skin.

Laser tattoo removal

Technically speaking, tattoos are permanent—but if you’ve had a change of heart about a tattoo you’ve gotten then all is not lost! Over the course of just a few tattoo removal sessions, you can get rid of an unwanted piece of body art. So how does it work? The lasers used during the treatment work by breaking down the pigment colors within the skin, causing the ink to fade and eventually, disappear.

Laser hair removal

Shaving is tedious and tiresome, and not everyone is keen on trying methods like waxing or sugaring—but you can easily achieve long-term smoothness and permanent hair removal through a laser treatment. Laser hair removal involves aiming a high-intensity laser beam at the area of unwanted hair. The pulses of light emitted from the laser destroy the hair follicles, creating silky skin, sans razor.

Dermaplaning

Looking for a short and quick procedure with minimal side effects? Dermaplaning is the perfect exfoliation procedure that produces fresh and glowing skin within a matter of ten to twenty minutes. Using a specialized surgical blade (don’t worry, it’s completely painless), your technician will gently scrape the skin, removing dead skin cells that can cause your complexion to appear dull.
