Why Winter is the Best Time for Skin Treatments
Winter is the perfect season to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, especially with treatments like Chemical Peels, IPL, Microneedling, and Morpheus8. At Plumpitupp Medical Spa, a top-rated Medical Spa in the G.T.A, we recommend planning your skin treatments during the colder months for optimal results - here’s why!
Less Sun Exposure Means Better Results
The majority of skin treatments like chemical peels, IPL, microneedling, and Morpheus8 require careful sun protection during recovery. Exposure to UV rays can:
Reduce the effectiveness of your treatment
Increase the risk of hyperpigmentation, irritation and redness
Slow down healing
Increase the risk of sweating causing irritation, stinging, and worsening redness, while also introducing bacteria onto your skin's surface
With shorter days and less sun exposure during Toronto winters, your skin can recover safely and more manageably allowing treatments to work at their full potential.
Which Treatment Should I Choose?
Chemical Peels for a fresh winter glow - they help remove dead skin cells, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture. It’s an ideal treatment for those who want to target pigmentation, smooth uneven texture and fine lines, reduce acne and congestion, and brighten their overall complexion.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for bright, even skin - IPL targets pigmentation, sunspots, and redness. It’s best for those who are a fitzpatrick skin type I, II or III, want to target post summer sunspots/discoloration, freckles, melasma or uneven pigment, reduce redness or rosacea-related flushing and improve overall skin tone.
Microneedling for collagen boosting - Microneedling is an amazing treatment that stimulates collagen, improves texture and tone - especially when combined with PRP, Exosomes or PDRN. It’s best for those who want to reduce acne scars or texture, target fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin fitness and elasticity.
Morpheus8 for skin tightening - Morpheus8 are powerful treatments that stimulate collagen, tighten skins, and melt fat. It’s best for those who want to reduce deep scaring or texture irregularities, target submental fat and improve skin firmness and elasticity.
