Winter brings with it several advantages when it comes to pigmentation treatments, making it our favoured season to kick start your skin journey. Although our treatments can be performed all year round, we have listed below a few key reasons why winter is the best time to get started. If you’ve been considering tackling your pigmentation for a while, take this blog as your sign.
Understanding Pigmentation
Pigmentation can appear at any stage in life and stems from a variety of factors including genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes and trauma. At Australian Skin Clinics, we offer a range of specialised treatments tailored to different types of pigmentation and skin types.
Why We Favour Winter
Reduced Sun Exposure
During winter the sun’s intensity decreases, providing a crucial advantage for all our treatments, including our Aesthetics Rx Pigment MediPeel.
This treatment utilises cosmeceutical enzymes and acids that are known to prevent pigment production, reduce hyperpigmentation and resurface the skin’s outer layers. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure post-treatment to ensure optimal healing and to prevent UV damage while the skin is recovering.
Winter’s milder sunlight levels result in safer and more effective treatment outcomes.
Cooler Weather, Cooler Skin
The cooler weather also means less heat retention in the skin, which is super beneficial for procedures like Laser for Pigmentation.
This treatment uses light emitted from a laser to absorb excess melanin and destroy pigmentation cells. Keeping the skin cool post-treatment allows the heat to leave the skin effectively, minimising the chance of an adverse reaction and allowing the skin to recover more comfortably.
Manageable Downtime
Winter also typically means fewer social events, making it easier to manage any downtime associated with treatments.
Treatments such as Pigmentation Peels, Microneedling, and RF Needling may cause temporary redness or flaking. Whereas more invasive treatments such as Cosmelan® involve longer recovery periods with more intense effects.
The slower pace of winter months provides the perfect opportunity to schedule treatments and allow for proper recovery without disrupting your routine.
Consistent Treatment Planning
To achieving optimal results for pigmentation, we often recommend a series of treatments that are tailored to individual skin types and concerns.
Winter offers a helpful environment to establish a consistent treatment plan. Whether it’s identifying the right combination of treatments or adjusting schedules to accommodate healing periods, the quieter winter months facilitate a focused approach that you can commit to.
