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.
Mr Olivier Amar has shared his thoughts on treatments that can help your skin look and feel at its best throughout the colder months. Common symptoms of winter skin include:
- Dehydration
- Redness
- Tightness
- Flaking
- Continuous discomfort
Rejuvenate your skin this winter with PRP treatment
This skin-brightening, rejuvenation treatment maintains moisture balance and helps protect your skin from the environmental changes occurring in the winter months. PRP treatment boosts the skin’s radiance and luminosity, resulting in a hydrated and a smoother appearance.
During a PRP treatment, you will first have a small amount of blood – 15mls – taken from your arm just as you would in a blood test. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the clear liquid called plasma and the platelets.
Your face will be cleaned, and four tiny punctures made to allow the insertion of a flexible, blunt-ended cannula to gently distribute the platelet rich plasma under the skin of the cheeks and around the mouth.
Dermal fillers to refresh and rejuvenate the face and hands
The winter air can be damaging to already dry skin, worsening wrinkles and lines that are already there. As we age, our faces and hands naturally lose subcutaneous fat. Smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent and we may develop hollows under the eyes.
Hand rejuvenation with dermal fillers can add volume to the hands’ wrinkled areas, covering underlying vessels and tendons while improving the quality of the skin.
Mr Olivier Amar uses only dermal fillers made of an absorbable, non-permanent form of hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of healthy, youthful skin.
Brightening the face with Obagi Nu-Derm System
To brighten up your skin during the winter months we have skincare packages available that can help bring the glow back into your skin, as well as improving the quality and texture of your skin.
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is a prescribed skin care system which helps to transform the skin by addressing hyperpigmentation and improving visible signs of skin aging. This system is ideal for hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun spots, large pores, rough and uneven skin and appearance of skin laxity.
Mr Olivier Amar will discuss your suitability for the Obagi Nu-Derm FX system with you and under our supervision, Get Harley, the skincare concierge platform will reach out to you to process your order.
Laser treatment for the winter
If you have skin concerns triggered by the winter cold, such as eczema or very dry skin, laser treatments are ideal for promoting more youthful, glowing skin all winter long. You can address these concerns by scheduling a winter laser treatment, like NeoSkin by Aerolase. This treatment helps stimulate collagen production and promotes remodeling of the skin’s underlying structure.
By stimulating collagen, the treatment can help improve skin elasticity, smooth out rough texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize the size of enlarged pores. The number of treatment sessions required may vary depending on the severity of your skin texture concerns and your individual response to the treatment.
