The Best Aesthetic Treatments for Winter Months

winter aesthetic treatments The last few months, we have been talking about summer skin tips, such as choosing the right sunscreen, what treatments to avoid, etc. Now, as we are heading into the winter months, we will look at the best cosmetic treatments to receive during this time of year.

We tend to hibernate in the winter, as opposed to the summer months where we spend more time outdoors. Therefore, winter is a great time to get treatments that might have a little longer downtime or recovery time. It’s also a great opportunity to repair the damage that is caused by the summer months and sun damage. Here are a few examples of treatments that are best saved for the winter:

  • Intense Pulse Light (IPL): IPL is used to treat redness, “sun spots” or pigmented areas of the skin as well as spider veins. This is a great treatment for winter months because staying out of the sun is crucial to the effectiveness of IPL. Sunlight can lead to darkening of the treated areas.
  • Laser Hair Removal/Laser Treatments: This treatment is best done on untanned skin because it reduces the risk of pigmentation. Minimal sun exposure is also crucial to proper healing.
  • Chemical Peels: Peels help with the evening of the skin tone, and again, minimal sun exposure is crucial to the healing process. Plus, peels can make your skin more susceptible to burn.
  • Sclerotherapy: After the treatment of veins, there is a chance of hyperpigmentation, so it’s best done during “pants season.” Sometimes patients will need to wear compression socks or hose as well, which is not ideal in the summer heat.

Basically, the winter is the best time to get a cosmetic treatment performed. Proper healing time and minimal sun exposure will help the healing process and ensure proper results. Next time, we will talk about how to care for your skin in the winter months when cold weather can dry out your skin.

I LOVED the course and will highly recommend this to others. I felt like the content in the fundamental course was appropriate. I look forward to taking the next level courses in the future (Masters and Advanced).  My instructor did an amazing job in every aspect!  I left feeling prepared to start my journey in injections.  I also plan to start scheduling more injections on patients (BONTA and Filler) now that I feel better prepared.

I have taken three courses and have been thoroughly pleased with all of them.  The basic and advanced Botulinum Toxin Type A/ Filler course I attended with Jill not only gave me all of the basics I needed to build a successful injectable practice, but gave me the confidence that I would have a support system in the rare event that I had an additional question after the training course.  The sclerotherapy course with Terri Harper was also very beneficial.  In the two years I have been practicing sclero in my practice I have had to contact Terri two times with a question and she has answered within a matter of minutes and offered additional help in the case of further issues.  I could not be happier with the training and follow up support  I receive with AAI and the talented staff I have met along the way.  I would highly recommend these classes and this fantastic group of professionals to anyone.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend both a Botulinum Toxin Type A training course and an actual “day in the office” with Jill Jones, RN,CPSN at the Atlanta Training Center. This was an invaluable learning experience and helped me to become a more confident Botulinum Toxin Type A injector and ultimately, grow my cosmetic practice. AAI instructors keep abreast of all the latest techniques and cover both the basics and advanced information on Botulinum Toxin Type A in their course, which would benefit both new and experienced injectors. I would highly recommend attending aesthetic instructional course as well as shadowing at the Atlanta Training Center.they are truly cosmetic artists!
