As Christmas is approaching, more people are opting for cosmetic procedures to look their best in their holiday pictures. That being said, considering the number of procedures on the market, it can be difficult to find the one that can offer the perfect glow with no downtime.
Luckily, there are plenty of treatments providing great effects with as little discomfort as possible. And with the holiday season fast approaching, Dermacare patients need to dazzle at their events. Worry not because this blog will offer advice as to how to obtain that gorgeous, glowing skin.
What Does the Skin Need During the Holidays?
With the chaos that Christmas and New Year’s bring around, the skin can go through a lot of oxidative stress. This may lead to different skin conditions like collagen fragmentation, inflammation, skin cell damage, and more.
What the complexion needs most at this point is to eliminate the dead skin from the surface. This encourages cell turnover, bringing healthy cells to the surface and making the skin look more glowing. Collagen production also needs to be given a boost, as it can plump the skin and make women and men look more youthful.
Best Treatments for a Holiday Glow
There are several procedures that can help improve the quality of the skin and restore its glow around the holiday season. Dr. Jeff Birchall, an Allergan™ Advisory Board member, and our esteemed medical director recommends the following treatments:
1. SKINVIVE™
Wind and lower temperatures can significantly dry the skin, making it look dull and causing it to lose its glow. The best way to restore the skin’s hydration level is to moisturize it, but it can take a long time until any skin cream manages to take full effect. For this reason, patients can restore their skin hydration with SKINVIVE™, a microdroplet injectable with a hyaluronic acid base.
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is the newest injectable of its kind approved by the FDA to treat dry skin. The hyaluronic acid in its formula binds with the moisture on the surface of the skin, increasing hydration and smoothing it out. The results of this injectable may last for about six months. To enjoy the best results, the treatment should be done about two to four weeks before an event.
2. DiamondGlow® Facial
Facial glow fades as a result of dead skin and debris settled on the surface. Exfoliation and hydration represent the best ways to restore the skin to its natural health level. The DiamondGlow® procedure uses a diamond tip and goes through three steps: exfoliation, extraction, and infusion. By cleansing the skin and infusing it with much-needed nutrients, it can look radiant during the holiday season. The ideal time for the procedure is two to three weeks before any event.
3. Genesis™ Laser
Also referred to as the “laser facial,” the Genesis™ laser is suitable for any skin type. The heat of the laser can trigger collagen production and boost healing, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving overall skin texture.
The laser can also reduce pore size and decrease sebum production, making it a perfect choice for patients with acne-prone skin. The effect of the treatment is quick with very few side effects, which means it can be scheduled one to two days before any event.
