Autumn/Winter seasonal changes can play havoc with your skin. Post-summer pigmentation combined with a drop in outdoor temperatures, lower humidity and use of central heating can mean patients struggle with multiple skin concerns at this time of year, unsure of which treatments and products can help!

Luckily, at The Face Clinic our expert team have handpicked our top autumn/winter skins saviours to tackle stubborn post-summer pigmentation, improve hydration and elasticity and get your skin glowing ahead of the festive period.

Skin Boosters

Skin Boosters such as Belotero Revive, Polynucleotides and Profhilo can transform dull, dehydrated and dry autumn skin into plump, glowing and smooth skin after just 1-2 treatments. Depending on the treatment recommended by our team, skin boosters can add high concentration hydrating hyaluronic acid, skin plumping glycerol and skin renewing polynucleotides into the deep layers of your skin on the face, neck and body. These powerhouse ingredients not only plump and hydrate, but also work to stimulate your body own regenerative potential meaning extra collagen and elastin is produced leading to tighter, smoother and stronger skin for a long time after treatment.

Dr Ben’s favourite treatment for his own winter skin is Belotero Revive, with the rapid glow and long lasting hydration unbeatable.

Skin Peels

Post-summer pigmentation can lead to a dull, uneven complexion. The expert use of skin peels can reduce the appearance of pigmentation, acne marks and even fine lines & wrinkles. In clinic, we offer a range of Skin Peels to suit all skin types. Our no-downtime Skinceuticals Gel Peel is great for a rapid skin pick-me-up pre-event and when done as a course of 3-6 treatments can provide visible reduction in a multitude of skin concerns with no downtime.

Alternatively, for a more dramatic improvement in pigmentation, texture and dullness The Perfect Peel is a doctor-only medium-depth skin peel that provides significant improvement after only one treatment. Results after this treatment are long-lasting and The Perfect Peel is suitable for all skin types, including darker skins making this Dr Angela’s go-to treatment for autumn skin rejuvenation.

SecretRF

SecretRF is our powerhouse multi-depth skin remodelling treatment in clinic. It uses carefully controlled fractional radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate skin remodelling at multiple depths - with superficial improvements in texture and skin tone combined with deeper skin tightening and scar/wrinkle reduction for significant and long lasting results for multiple skin concerns. SecretRF is a fantastic treatment option when used alone or in combination with any other treatments on offer in the clinic. Results are seen as soon as 3-4 weeks following the first session however best results follow a course of 3 so now is the perfect time to begin your SecretRF journey with us!

Medical Grade Skincare

As temperature and humidity drops, it’s vital to ensure your skin is protected from the elements. Certain medical-grade skincare products hydrate skin and protect it from the environmental damage of Scottish winter! For hydration, the Obagi Hydrate range provides long-lasting hydration for all skin types due to its patented Hydromanil technology. The brand-new Obagi Daily-Hydrodrops Eye cream provides vital hydration to the delicate eye area and Skinceuticals Phyto-Corrective range provides a powerfully soothing & anti-inflammatory effect for irritated, red and inflamed skin.

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you can skip the sun protection! The use of a brad-spectrum SPF 50 is vital every day of the year. In clinic some of our favourites include the Intradermology SPF 50 and the Skinceuticals Brightening UV Defence SPF 50 which both fades pigmentation and protects against the formation of new pigment inducing sun damage.
