Treating winter skin

Your golden, summer tan has faded and all that’s left behind is the sun damage (aka uneven skin tone and brown spots), now’s the time to do something about it. Here’s our winter skin care must haves:

Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops Facial Serum

These hydrating drops provide Vitamin B3, Abyssinian Oil, and Hibiscus oil in their purest forms and leaves skin looking smoother, more radiant and feeling hydrated all day. Nice to add to your skincare routine during winter months for extra hydration!

Obagi C-Clarifying Vitamin C serum with 4%hydroquinone

The Obagi-C Rx System includes Vitamin C and prescription-strength hydroquinone to correct hyperpigmentation such as dark spots.

Using hydroquinone is ideal during cold weather months as it inhibits the melanin that causes dark spots. Even in winter it’s important to wear SPF when using hydroquinone as it can make your skin sensitive to the sun.

Lasers

This is the best time to get a laser because sunlight and lasers definitely do not mix! So if you really want to tackle the sun damage or melasma, do it now.

For a facial skin resurfacing that will treat deep wrinkles and textural irregularities, we recommend our Ablative Fractional 2940. This mac daddy laser will not only get rid of sun damage, it will tighten the skin too. You will have some downtime, but it’s a one and done treatment, and the results are impressive!

No time for down time? Give the Non-ablative, Fractional 1540 Laser a try. Perfect for improving fine lines, wrinkles texture and skin tone. This one also treats scars and stretch marks. We recommend three of these for best results and you’ll be back up and running after each treatment.
