Seeing as spring looks like it’s finally arrived, we thought we would write an article on why Spring is a good time to have specific treatments. The eight treatments below have common themes: rejuvenation and renewal, preparation for summer, addressing winter damage, and taking advantage of milder weather conditions for recovery.
Rejuvenation and Renewal: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), PRP (Platelet-rich plasma), Skin Peels
Spring symbolises new beginnings, and skin treatments during this season can mirror this natural cycle. Treatments like IPL for skin rejuvenation, medical skin peels for their ability to remove dead skin cells and promote cell regeneration, and PRP therapy for regeneration are designed to revitalise and renew the skin, promoting a refreshed and youthful appearance that aligns with the essence of spring.
Preparation for Summer: Hair Removal, Endymed, Acne Treatments
Many treatments are best started in spring to ensure visible results and fully settled for the summer months. In the case of hair removal, we mean a visible reduction in hair. Endymed and acne treatments can help patients prepare their skin for the increased exposure and outdoor activities that come with the warmer months.
Addressing Winter Damage: HydraFacial, Dermalux
After the harsh winter months, skin often needs recovery from dryness, dullness, and damage caused by cold weather and indoor heating. HydraFacial and Dermalux LED phototherapy can address these issues, restoring hydration and aiding the skin’s natural repair processes. HydraFacial works to improve the health and appearance of your skin and also works to mitigate the environmental damage accumulated over the winter months.
Dermalux LED phototherapy uses specific wavelengths of light to activate the skin’s natural rejuvenation and repair processes. With its collagen-boosting red light and antibacterial and skin clarity-improving blue light, Dermalux provides a comprehensive treatment that fits perfectly into spring.
Milder Weather Conditions for Recovery: IPL, Dermal Fillers, Acne Treatments
Spring’s moderate temperatures and reduced intensity of sunlight provide an optimal environment for post-treatment recovery. This is particularly important for treatments like dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle treatments, therapy for rosacea, and acne treatments. All these treatments require patients to avoid excessive sun exposure to ensure the best healing and results.
The gentler sun conditions of spring reduce the risk of sunburn and sun damage, which is especially critical during the initial phase of treatment when the skin is most vulnerable to UV exposure. This makes spring an ideal time to begin treatments that could increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, such as those involving topical retinoids or certain oral medications.
The milder spring weather, with fewer extremes, supports the recovery process from various treatments, including acne interventions. Extreme temperatures can aggravate skin conditions by increasing sebum production in hot weather or causing dryness and irritation in colder weather. Spring’s moderate conditions offer a more stable environment, allowing the skin to adapt to new treatments without the added stress of harsh environmental factors. This not only enhances the effectiveness of treatments but also makes the recovery phase more comfortable and manageable for the patient, providing a smoother transition towards healing and rejuvenation.
