Eradicate Winter Fatigue: Targeted Eye Treatments & Blemish Removal for Radiant Skin
Eradicate Winter Fatigue: Targeted Eye Treatments & Blemish Removal for Radiant Skin
The Pemberley Clinic is founded upon in-depth medical expertise. With that in mind, today I wanted to focus on some of the specific eye and blemish concerns that can be caused or exacerbated by the harsh weather conditions the winter season can bring.
Common Skin Issues Triggered By Cold Winter Weather
The winter weather can bring a vast array of challenges our way, so let's take a quick look at some of the most common issues.
1. Puffy Eyes
Puffiness is extremely common during the winter, as both cold outside air and warm indoor air can cause dehydration and irritation. There are a number of things you can do to combat puffy eyes, including staying hydrated and wearing sunglasses outside on windy days.
2. Dark Circles
For many of us, our overall complexions are much paler during the winter months than they are in the summer, which can emphasise the appearance of dark circles. Plus, as it's party season, those late nights can really start to take a toll.
3. Blemishes
Low humidity and dry air can also cause or worsen a variety of rashes, blemishes and lesions. Many people experience acne breakouts during the winter season, as the skin can start to produce excess sebum in response to being stripped of its natural moisture levels by harsh weather and central heating.
Similarly, chronic conditions such as psoriasis and eczema can worsen during the winter, leading to the formation of red, inflamed and dry lesions or patches.
Eye Treatments to Target Fine Lines, Puffiness, and Dark Circles
For patients who are looking for a long-lasting solution to tired, puffy eyes, polynucleotide treatments can be an excellent option.
Plinest Eye is an injectable treatment specifically designed for use around the delicate eye area. It works by stimulating the skin's elastin and collagen production processes, which improves skin texture, minimises the appearance of fine lines, and restores lost volume. Polynucleotides can also help to improve microcirculation and enhance hydration, further helping to reduce dark circles and stubborn puffiness.
The Benefits of Specialist Blemish and Skin Lesion Removal
If lesions and blemishes are causing discomfort or impacting your confidence, there are a variety of in-clinic treatments that can help.
1. Sinclair V30 Laser
This multi-technology system is designed to treat an array of skin concerns, including acne clearance, pore shrinkage, pigmentation, and skin hydration. It combines long pulse, IPL and radio frequency technologies, allowing for a truly tailored approach to treatment.
2. Blemish and Skin Lesion Removal
As a recognised blemish removal clinic, our advanced diathermy treatments can help to treat countless skin lesions, such as milia, sebaceous cysts, skin tags, vascular lesions, and blood spots. During this treatment, the blemish or lesion is cauterised or dissolved in a gentle way, which avoids damage to healthy skin.
Winter Season Aftercare Tips
Every patient receives in-depth, doctor-led aftercare advice after every in-clinic treatment. In general, our aftercare advice remains the same regardless of the time of year; however, in winter, we always recommend ensuring that the skin is properly shielded from harsh weather conditions.
In some cases, patients may benefit from using humidifiers, and we also advise avoiding hot showers and ingredients which can cause irritation, such as aromatherapy oils. Prioritising gentle skincare products and formulations with hydrating ingredients such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid can help to support the skin during the winter season, and particularly during the recovery period following an in-clinic treatment.
