5 Steps to Ditch Dry Skin

As each month of winter passes, our skin becomes less protected by the elements and more susceptible to chronic dryness. Thankfully, Enlighten Laser has the solutions for your dry, winter skin.

Revitalizing dry and dehydrated winter skin needs more than just a good moisturizer—it needs a plan of action. Fortunately, the skincare experts at Enlighten Laser and Skin Care Clinics have five treatment options to help your ditch your dry skin this season.

1) Microdermabrasion

As one of our most popular treatments, microdermabrasion is the perfect solution for fighting dry, flaky skin. On top of the dryness that comes from the drop in temperature this season, our skin also has to deal with thousands shedding dead skin cells each and every day. Without proper exfoliation, these cells can make it difficult for your moisturizing products to penetrate into the skin and provide the needed relief. Spraying tiny crystals, microdermabrasion gently lifts dead skin cells revealing the healthier complexion hidden underneath. This treatment only affects the epidermis (the top layer of skin) where fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes live. Over time and with continuous treatment skin will begin to look smoother, clearer and more even in tone.

2) Advanced Nutrition Programme Supplements

The best way to get moisture back into your dry skin is to work form the inside out. At Enlighten Laser we offer a large range of quality skin supplements from Advanced Nutrition Programme. These tiny capsules are tailored skin solutions, loaded with skin benefitting ingredients that work to improve your complexion as well as your overall well being. One of our most popular varieties is the Skin Omegas+. For those of us who do not eat enough foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, this supplement can help to restore dull, lifeless skin to an even and hydrated state. Invest in your body, mind and skin this Spring with Advanced Nutrition Programme.

3) Sublative Skin Resurfacing

When skin is dry or dehydrated, texture issues like fine lines and dry patches can become more apparent. Sublative skin resurfacing is the perfect way to kickstart your Spring skincare regime. With Syneron Candela’s Elos Plus multi-application system, the Sublative head uses only the power of bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) to reach deep into the dermis to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. After a few weeks this dermal layer will rise to the epidermis, revealing naturally smoother, plumper, more hydrated skin. As a completely non-invasive treatment with little-to-no downtime required, Sublative skin resurfacing is the answer to your dry skin prayers.

4) Sublime Skin Tightening

Along with accentuating texture, dry skin can also emphasize any laxity. This could be anything from drooping under eyes to jowls to sagging skin around the neck and chin (aka turkey neck). Until now firming and tightening skin used to require surgery and extensive recovery times. With Sublime skin tightening, loose skin can be restored non-invasively through stimulated collagen and elastin production. With the use both bi-polar RF energy and deep infrared heat, Sublime skin tightening encourages the natural production of new collagen fibers deep within the skin. As these new cells rise to the surface layer, skin gradually become tighter and less lax until the desired look is achieved. If you’re dry winter skin needs a literal pick me up, Sublime skin tightening is your answer.

5) Triniti Anti-Aging Treatment

Looking for an all-in-one approach to treat your dry, lifeless skin? Try triniti Plus! This treatment is applied through the Elos Plus application system to deliver amazing, transformative results in as little as three treatments. Triniti Plus combines three professional treatments in one: SR/SRA color correction for skin discolouration (spider veins, uneven skin tone, sun spots); Sublime skin tightening for skin laxity (jowls, “turkey” neck, sagging underneath the eyes); and Sublative fractional skin rejuvenation for uneven skin texture (wrinkles, fine lines, acne scarring). All three treatments use the same bipolar RF and light energies to non-invasively penetrate skin, however they are used in different ways to achieve the desired effect. With almost no downtime, Triniti Plus is the ultimate facial renewal treatment.
