Undo the Damage Winter Did to Your Skin - Wednesday, March 2, 2011

It's been a long hard, winter, and if you notice that you are suddenly looking older than ever, it may not be your imagination. The cold, dry winter air can really damage your skin, making you look years older in just a matter of months. If looking in your mirror reveals this kind of dramatic change, The Centre Yourself Medical Rejuvenation Spa can help.

The first priority is to get rid of dead and damaged cells that contribute to the numerous fine wrinkles you see and can make your skin look dull. We have several options that can help you get rid of those damaged surface layers to reveal the fresher, younger skin beneath. Depending on the amount and type of damage, and the character of your skin, we might recommend a facial, chemical peel, or laser skin treatments.

Second, restore your skin's moisture. Winter air can rob precious moisture from your skin. During your skin consultation, we will talk about the best products available for your daily skin care routine so you can keep your skin looking fresh all spring. At The Centre Yourself Medical Spa, we offer both our own skin care products and a select number of other products we have identified as being the best for your skin.

Finally, recognize when your skin is not to blame. Though some wrinkles are due to changes and damage in your skin, others are related to deeper changes that occur as part of facial aging and may be best addressed with other treatment options, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvéderm.
