Ah, winter in Ontario. Whether you dread the arrival of cooler temperatures or look forward to that first snowfall, the short days and long months can drive us to hibernate. Around here, we like to use the snowy season as an excuse to schedule some much-deserved “me time”. If you’re inclined to do the same, these treatments are some Beauty Nurse® winter-faves, perfect for turning that cold-weather frown upside down.
The ZO® Controlled Depth Peel.
Also known as “The Blue Peel” this treatment peels away the old, dull layers of skin and unwanted pigment to provide breakthrough results for scarring, severe laxity, severe texture damage and advanced melasma. The peel also awakens the fibroblast cells that produce collagen in the skin, so the skin is simultaneously tightened for results that rival those of laser and light treatments! The catch? Patients should prepare for about 3-4 days of social downtime, as the skin (which might have a slight blue haze) peels and flakes off. That’s why we love this treatment for winter – a great excuse to hibernate and stay cozy!
CoolSculpting®.
When you think CoolSculpting, chances are you picture your newly contoured abdomen rocking a bikini at the beach, not hiding under your parka, but truthfully, winter is the perfect time to schedule your CoolSculpting treatment. Since the results of this revolutionary fat freezing treatment can take 4-8 weeks to reach their peak, a treatment performed now will have you looking your best just in time for that tropical vacation, or the return of sunny weather. A bonus? CoolSculpting also helps kick start those lofty New Year’s resolutions!
Juvéderm Volite.
Volite is a new anti-aging injectable treatment from Juvéderm. It contains hyaluronic acid, and is designed to provide hydration and improve smoothness and elasticity for up to nine months post-treatment. It’s the perfect treatment to combat winter dryness and get that “dewy” glow our skin craves throughout these cold months.
Surgery.
If you’ve been considering a surgical procedure—anything from a breast augmentation to a tummy tuck—but waiting for the perfect time, here it is! With any surgery, we recommend taking some time to rest and recover, and winter is the perfect time to do so! You won’t miss out on any beach days or BBQs, and you can pop on your favourite holiday movie while your body gets some much needed downtime.
Visit us today and let us cure your cold weather blues with these treatments and more!
