Although we live in one of the best cities in the world for managing and maintaining beautiful skin, our coastal weather can still wreck havoc in the winter months.
No matter where you live, cold weather leads to dry skin which can often leave your skin looking dull, rough, scaly and flaky and can often lead to other skin ailments including redness, acne and even dermatitis.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
The good news is that with a few simple changes to your routine, you can combat the effects of dry skin quite easily.
On top of drinking plenty of water and keeping your body hydrated internally, we recommend that you use a good moisturizer that restores your moisture balance while externally soothes dehydrated skin.
The other important element to incorporate into your skin routine is exfoliation. No matter the season, we typically recommend that you exfoliate your skin once to twice a week. This can be done at home using a high quality exfoliant and lukewarm water and will work to remove impurities and dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.
On top of regular at home exfoliation treatments, which help to treat the surface of your skin, it is equally important to get in and clean the core of your skin. For optimal results, this should always be done by a skin care professional. At The Centre for Skin Rejuvenation, we have 2 treatments that are quick, painless and work wonders for getting deep down into your skin and produce amazing results:
MICRODERMABRASION WITH DERMALINFUSION
One of the most widely used treatments to brighten the skin are microdermabrasion treatments, which work to exfoliate your skin and remove dead and damaged cells at the skin’s surface.
Microdermabrasion treatments use a medical grade diamond to “brush” the skin paired with a gentle vacuum that “suck” and eliminate the dead cells.
Instead of a typical microdermabrasion procedure, we perform the specialized treatments that include DermalInfusion which on top of providing the typical exfoliation benefits of a microdermabrasion also infuses a specialized serum for your skin type deep into the skin where it is most effective.
The typical improvements you can expect to see in your skin with a DermalInfusion Microdermabrasion treatments are:
• A beautifully smooth and even skin tone
• Plump and hydrated skin
• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• Improvement in acne symptoms
• Pore size reduction
• A reduction in brown spots caused by sun damage
On top of providing immediate results, these treatments have no downtime, meaning that you can be in and out of our office within an hour you can back to your normal day. DermalInfusion treatments start at $150.
REJUVENATION PEELS
Over the years, peels have developed a rather unjustly bad reputation, due to a spread in popularity of at-home treatments. We can assure you that under proper medical supervision, these common treatments are very safe and can leave you with absolutely BEAUTIFUL results.
Facial rejuvenation peeling (aka chemical peels) works by stimulating exfoliation of your skin using a chemical solution. It removes the dry, dull outer layer of your skin leaving you with a radiant and luminous complexion with firmer and smoother skin.
The typical improvements you can expect to see in your skin with a chemical peel treatment are:
• A radiant and bright skin tone
• A significant reduction in brown spots, pregnancy dark spots and pigmentation spots
• Pore size reduction
• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• Improvement in acne symptoms through sebum reduction
On top of the spectacular results that you can achieve, one of the best things about our peels is that they start at just $99!
