Top Facial Treatments for the New Year

The arrival of the new year brings a blank slate and a chance to reinvent oneself. There is never a better time than the present to address imperfections in your complexion that are causing self-consciousness and keeping you from presenting your best and brightest self. 

If the aging process, environmental stressors, or sun damage have negatively impacted your appearance, you are not alone. Practicing optimal skincare year-round at home can be challenging, which is why it’s so important to visit a medspa and pamper your skin into a healthier, more radiant, and youthful condition. Below we will explore some of the best facial treatments you can undergo to achieve the flawless, luminous skin you crave.

What are among the top skincare procedures for overhauling your complexion?

• Chemical peel –

Each chemical peel is personalized to address your unique complexion issues and comfort levels. Chemical peels are formulated as mild, medium, and deep, with the recovery time varying according to the degree of exfoliation undergone. The treatment can help remove years of sun damage, dead skin cells, debris, dirt, and blemishes. Once the outer compromised skin layer is exfoliated, a softer, clearer complexion emerges beneath. Chemical peels can be instrumental in addressing fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, enlarged pores, an uneven skin tone, and even sagging skin. 

• SkinPen Microneedling –

Microneedling is an established and popular anti-aging treatment that can beautifully revitalize your complexion and reduce blemishes and skin damage. The innovative SkinPen can trigger collagen regeneration, boosting skin luminosity from within while reducing the look of acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, and a dull complexion. The SkinPen creates hundreds of micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, automatically tightening the pores.

• IPL Photofacial –

If you are concerned about age spots, rosacea, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, or just the general effects of aging and sun damage, an IPL photofacial can be just the solution you need. A series of treatments can help firm and tighten the pores, remove blemishes, and restore an even skin tone, all with minimal recovery time. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It emits laser energy that eradicates the darker skin cells, eventually replacing them with healthier ones.

• PDO Instalift –

This is a minimally-invasive procedure using surgical-grade, dissolvable sutures to effortlessly elevate sinking facial contours. With next to no discomfort or downtime, an Instalift can revitalize your appearance and restore self-confidence and security. PDO threads can not only rewind the aging process in the short term but can also boost collagen production for long-term skin tightening benefits. Over the course of several months, the skin becomes softer, smoother, and more supple. A PDO Instalift can address drooping jowls, nasolabial folds, loss of definition in the jawline, and much more.

What is the takeaway?

Today’s cosmetic science has produced cutting-edge innovations in non-surgical treatments for aging skin that all patients can take advantage of. Our skin is often the first thing others notice about us upon meeting for the first time, so addressing concerns such as blemishes, sun damage, wrinkles, and enlarged pores can have powerful social and professional benefits. If one of your new year’s resolutions is to improve your appearance, why not start with a safe, effective skincare treatment to revive your complexion? Your skin will thank you, and you’ll be starting off the new year with a win.
