Ice, snow and dry skin: These are all common winter complaints, but there’s not much you can do about the first two. Dry skin, on the other hand, is preventable. Southeastern Michigan plastic surgeon Dr. Mune Gowda discusses how medical spa treatments can alleviate dry, winter skin and restore moisture and suppleness.
Dry Skin in Winter
Winter exacerbates dry skin due to the lack of humidity indoors and out. Skin dries out because it simply doesn’t receive enough moisture. While skin creams and lotions provide some relief with moisturization, they often can’t prevent the flaking, cracking and roughness of dry skin affecting many individuals.
Combatting dry skin in winter requires a more intensive approach. That’s what you’ll find with certain med spa treatments.
Medical Grade Facials
Medical grade facials are customized to each patient’s unique skin concerns, including dryness. These facials are ideal for maintenance or skin rejuvenation. Medical grade facials differ from standard facials in that they use medical grade products. They may include services such as deep laser treatments or medical microdermabrasion. It’s all up to what the patient wants to meet his or her personal skin challenges.
For best results, have medical grade facials on a regular schedule. For many patients, that’s every four to six weeks.
You will notice results soon after your initial medical facial. Your complexion looks rejuvenated. Along with dry skin, medical grade facials can address issues such as:
- Adult acne
- Oily skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
HydraFacial
HydraFacial provides noticeable improvements in minimal time. Skin is cleansed, exfoliated and moisturized, reducing dryness and lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also improves the appearance of enlarged pores, acne and hyperpigmentation. It is especially effective for dehydrated, or extremely dry, skin.
Along with dry skin, HydraFacial can treat:
- Dull skin
- Congested skin
- Uneven skin tone
Each treatment is designed to provide cleansing, exfoliation and extraction. At the same time, the skin is bathed and hydrated with serums containing antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and peptides. The results are apparent right away!
