Fight End-of-Winter Skin

April 9, 2019

You can probably feel the springtime warmth on your skin by now. In fact, living in California gives you the chance to get to gorgeous summertime temperatures by May. Therefore, now is the time to start thinking about what the winter has done to your skin and how to repair this damage before you want to wear your most skin-baring clothes.

Winter weather tends to be dehydrating on the skin. Temperatures drop significantly even in California, and low humidity sucks the moisture right out of your skin cells, especially your facial skin, which is most open to air. This leads to dull, dry skin that may appear a bit flaky. Plus, if you are at or beyond middle age, dry skin can make any fine lines and wrinkles that you already have appear even more obvious. Whether your skin looks raw and red or white and flaky, you can find help with some noninvasive treatments.

Effective Cosmetic Skin Treatments

One of the best options is laser treatments. These procedures are usually quick and very safe and comfortable. The laser beam heats up the tissues deep beneath your skin to promote cellular health and growth. Laser treatments can help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles while also promoting more even and firmer skin tone. Another great treatment for the winter skin blues is microdermabrasion. With this treatment, the top layer of your skin, called the epidermis, is gently blasted away. This gets rid of the flaky, dry, dead skin cells, leaving you with the fresh, hydrated cells below. You will look more youthful, and your skin will have a better texture overall. Dr. Tavoussi offers several treatments to get your skin looking more hydrated and youthful. He gives both laser and microdermabrasion treatments and can offer a wide variety of chemical peels. Some chemical peels are gentle enough to require little to no healing time while others will require you to rest at home for a few days. Some treatments will yield amazing results immediately while others need a few sessions to produce the best results.

Whether you want to get your skin ready for summer or are looking for a cosmetic surgery treatment for your body to get yourself ready for bikini season, Dr. Tavoussi and the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique in Newport Beach, California, can help you achieve gorgeous, natural-looking results that will have you welcoming the summer sunshine with pleasure.
