Winter Skin Rejuvenation

REJUVENATION

Winter is one of the most important times of the year to look after your skin. The cold weather, the sun and the extreme changes in temperature due to the heating can negatively impact your skin, dehydrating it, making it appear dull and flat. Winter is also a time of festivities and family and friends reunions so looking your best is on the list.
In this blog, post you will be able to find some treatments to help you and your skin look your best this winter.

At The Private Clinic, we provide customised treatments to help our patients achieve their desired results based on their skincare needs and their skin concerns.

Brightening the face following winter blues.

To brighten up your skin during the winter months we have some treatments available that help bring the glow back into your skin as well as improve the quality of your skin.

Medical Microdermabrasion

Medical Microdermabrasion is a progressive treatment which consists of vacuuming with a jet of micro crystals the top layer of the skin. This treatment is suitable for all types of skin including sensitive skin. The result is a glowing, fresher and more youthful looking skin as it helps reduce dull skin, fine lines, ageing spots, acne scars and is ideal for sun-damaged skin.

Chemical Peel

Chemical Peels are intensive exfoliating treatments using chemical products in order to resurface the skin and remove all the skin dead cells, resulting in much more even, smoother and brighter skin.
A great example is the Obagi Blue Peel which is used to brighten and tighten the skin targeting fine lines and wrinkles and can also help clear acne. This type of chemical peel involves minimal downtime and is performed in a series of treatments spaced 6 weeks apart.
Chemical Peel treatments are also ideal to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and acne scars.

Remove pigmentation: winter being the best time to do this.

IPL

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is a non-invasive skin procedure that uses IPL technology to improve the skin’s overall look. This treatment is ideal as it can be customised to suit different skin types, skin tones and conditions.

The IPL device emits an intense pulse light able to penetrate deep into the skin stimulating the cells to produce new collagen. The IPL procedure requires a series of 3-6 treatments spaced one month from each, once the treatments are over you will be able to see the results.

Microneedling

Microneedling treatment is ideal to improve the appearance of severe acne scars, skin tone and skin texture.

There are a variety of forms of microneedling treatment. The most common are dermaroller or dermapen.

Dermaroller treatment is a medical roller which is formed of hundreds of micro-skin needles. The dermaroller causes micro punctures in the surface of the skin when passed across the treated areas, stimulating the regeneration and repair of the skin leaving a brighter, smoother and healthier looking skin.

Dermapen works in a similar way however it is a smaller medical device that is moved over the face where micro-skin needles will move back and forth to create micro punctures.
