Winter is harsh on your skin in many ways. You’ve just spent the last few months baking in the hot summer sun (we hope you wore sunscreen!). Now your skin is experiencing a drastic change in weather conditions. The cold, dry winter air can worsen the symptoms of acne and rosacea and contribute to the overcompensation of oil production in the skin. For many reasons, winter is the perfect time to visit the Plastic Surgery Center of Hampton Roads for some skin-rejuvenating MedSpa treatments! 
Best MedSpa Treatments for Winter Skin
We offer a variety of MedSpa treatments that improve the tone, texture, and color of your skin. Here are just four that we recommend for those cold winter months:
- Hydrafacial – A HydraFacial uses a patented device to deliver exfoliation, cleansing, extraction, and hydration to the face. This system uses swirling action to deliver hydration and remove dead skin, dirt, debris and impurities while cleaning and soothing your skin. The HydraFacial helps treat many of the beauty issues individuals experience today, including large pores, wrinkles, breakouts, and thinning skin, and it helps improve overall skin texture, tone, and appearance.
- Dermaplaning – Dermaplaning is a facial exfoliation procedure using a very fine medical-grade scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. This treatment is recommended for all skin types, except for those who suffer from acne. It removes around 2-3 weeks of dead skin sitting on the surface, plus the peach fuzz yielding instant results. You will notice that your skin is softer, smoother, and so glowy.
- Chemical peels – A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure where a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. Peels are generally used to reduce fine lines, treat wrinkles, improve the appearance of mild scars, treat certain types of acne, reduce skin discoloration and even out skin tone. All peels improve the look and feel of the skin.
- Broadband Light (BBL) treatments – Broadband light (BBL) laser therapy, also known as a photofacial, is used to enhance and brighten your complexion by treating skin concerns and stimulating your body’s production of collagen. BBL treatment is not a laser treatment. It uses a broad spectrum of light that we can filter to treat different conditions and treat a larger skin area than a laser. BBL is used to treat skin conditions such as rosacea, spider veins, and acne. It can also help minimize the appearance of sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles and even out skin tone and texture.
If you aren’t sure what treatment option would be best for you, you can schedule a skin analysis with our providers. Based on your consultation, we can make skin care recommendations and suggest MedSpa services that best suit your skin’s needs. Call 757-873-3500.
