Three cosmetic treatments that specialists recommend doing in winter

“"When temperatures are not high, the skin recovers better, avoiding the risk of infections from sweat and the appearance of spots in the treated areas due to sun exposure."”

The bikini body operation has begun. At least for those considering any cosmetic treatment, whether for the body or face, it's during the colder months that they should visit a specialized center. The intense sun and the power of summer's ultraviolet rays directly affect our skin, and if the decision is made during the hottest months of the year, it's quite likely that it won't be successful.“Low temperatures help the skin recover better of any medical-aesthetic treatment or intervention, since some procedures can cause swelling or bruising that are easier to conceal in winter when the body is more covered up.”, points out Javier Pérez Diez, aesthetic doctor at Clínica Premium Marbella.

Restore firmness with CO2 laser

It is a non-surgical treatment designed to address various skin problems: wrinkles, expression lines, pigmentation, nevi, scars, or sagging. “The CO2 laser beam has the ability to penetrate much deeper than other lasers and allows for a more definitive effect,” confirms the specialist from Clínica Premium Marbella. This procedure can be performed on the face, neck, under the eyes, upper lips, arms, and jawline. “Each session lasts 20 minutes, although an anesthetic cream must be applied beforehand to eliminate discomfort. Usually, only a tingling sensation is felt when the laser light is applied. After the treatment, depending on the intensity used, skin redness is common for up to 48 hours. After a week, the skin begins to appear firmer and stronger, and this improvement will continue for the next six months,” explains the healthcare professional, who recommends at least two or three sessions for effective and lasting results.
