The crisper days of autumn are here, and all the enjoyable events of the season lie ahead: Halloween, Bonfire Night, and of course Christmas and New Year. It’s a time when many people have a busy social calendar and want to look their best, but the combination of summer damage and colder weather means that your skin might be stressed.
Here’s a look at how laser treatments at our Brighton skin care clinic can help.
IPL photorejuvenation: Refreshing your skin after summer
It has admittedly not been a vintage summer for sunshine here in the UK, but if you have been spending plenty of time outdoors on the beach, or perhaps enjoyed a couple of weeks somewhere considerably warmer and sunnier, your skin might be feeling the effects.
UV rays can lead to issues such as hyperpigmentation, an uneven skin tone and an increased risk of fine lines and wrinkles. It may also exacerbate existing conditions such as freckles, sun spots and rosacea. Laser skin treatments can help to reverse the signs of summer damage.
In particular, Intensed Pulsed Light (IPL) photorejuvenation (also known as a photofacial) can address these issues by using controlled wavelengths of light to target inflammation and trigger the skin’s natural healing process. This will leave your skin looking smoother and more even toned, so you can look forward to the new season with confidence.
Laser hair removal: Getting your skin party ready
Dealing with unwanted body hair is a never ending process for many of us, and home treatments are rarely 100 per cent satisfactory. Laser hair removal treatments are a quick and painless way of removing hair on any area of your body.
This will give you smooth and hair-free skin that will be all the healthier for not being subject to harsher methods of epilation such as shaving or waxing. For best results, you may need a course of treatments, so book now to ensure you can wear those Christmas party outfits with confidence!
CO2 Laser Resurfacing: Getting ready for next summer
Advanced treatments such as CO2 laser resurfacing can help to firm up sagging skin, help prevent wrinkles, and soften or even completely remove the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and birthmarks. It’s important to avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning for up to four weeks before the appointment, so autumn and winter is an ideal time to have it done.
You may need to have repeated treatments depending on the condition of your skin, and your skin will be extra sensitive to sunlight for up to seven days afterwards. Therefore it’s an ideal time of year to have this treatment, when you can wrap up and keep your skin well protected. You’ll also be ready to face next summer with confidence.
