Winter is the perfect opportunity to invest in more intensive skin treatments that allow for deeper skin renewal and recovery while minimising the risks associated with sun exposure.
Corina Mihalache, expert aesthetician and founder of Ace Skin Health Clinic, has noticed that certain treatments gain significant popularity in the winter months, she explains: “The colder months are ideal for treatments that require longer downtime, as people spend more time indoors and there is less risk of UV exposure, which can impair healing. This is especially important for energy-based treatments such as lasers or treatments with longer downtime such as deep chemical peels that target hyperpigmentation or fine lines but make the skin more sensitive to sunlight during the recovery period.”
What’s more, Corina adds that your nourishing winter skincare regime aligns well with the healing: “As skin tends to be drier and more prone to irritation in winter, the healing process of these treatments can be synchronised with your seasonal skincare routine so that the focus is on moisturising, healing and repair.”
Top trending winter treatments which are ideal for this time of year:
Laser Hair Removal
“One treatment that is becoming increasingly popular is laser hair removal and Winter is an ideal time to start a series of treatments, as less sun exposure means a lower risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation and there is more time for several sessions,” says Corina.
Whether you’re looking to achieve a permanent hair reduction or simply want to minimise hair growth, laser hair removal can help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin that requires minimal maintenance. Laser hair removal treatment targets hair at the root, effectively reducing hair growth and providing long-lasting results. This treatment is safe, convenient, and suitable for various areas of the body and face, including legs, underarms, and bikini line.
Prices start from around £55.
Chemical Peels
“I often recommend that my patients wait until the winter months to have a deep chemical peel, as it is easier to integrate recovery into their daily routine. Winter is perfect for treatments like these because they work on the deeper layers of the skin to improve texture, tone and radiance and skin is better protected from harmful UV rays, supporting optimal healing,” Corina explains.
Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimise scars, or uneven skin texture, chemical peels offer a safe and effective solution. Chemical peel treatments are designed to rejuvenate and unveil a fresh and radiant complexion. By utilising a combination of carefully formulated acids, these treatments work to exfoliate and improve the texture and appearance of your skin.
Prices start from £100.
Microneedling
Corina says, “Microneedling is another treatment that benefits from the winter season. It stimulates collagen production and skin renewal, but sun exposure after treatment can cause irritation or uneven pigmentation, so the winter short daylight is beneficial.”
Whether you’re looking to reduce wrinkles, minimise acne scars, or even out your skin tone, microneedling can help you achieve your skincare goals. By creating tiny punctures in the skin’s surface, microneedling stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. This non-invasive treatment is suitable for all skin types and requires little to no downtime. It can brighten dull and blemished skin, as well as give you a radiant, youthful glow.
Prices start from £220.
