Top Treatments to Transform Your Skin Before Summer
Take advantage of these dreary winter days to transform your skin!
Are you dreaming about warm, sunny days of summer? We are, too. But did you know that December through April is the BEST time for skin rejuvenation and laser treatments?
So what are the best spa treatments to have in the winter. Here are some of the Top winter spa treatments offered at MaxAesthetics Skin care spa in Philadelphia.
During the winter, the days are shorter and the sun is less bright overhead. Everyone is already bundled up and covering their skin from the sun's harmful UV rays, and spending more time indoors. This makes winter perfect for lasers and skin rejuvenating treatments!
- Lasers and light based treatments put A LOT of heat and energy into your skin, leaving it especially sensitive and more vulnerable to UV damage. Excess sun exposure after a laser treatment will intensify your skin's sensitivity, and may interfere with the results of your treatment!
- Lasers typically work best on skin that hasn't had recent sun exposure, and can't be used on sun burnt skin. In the winter, most of us are at our palest and have had enough time for our skin to recover from summer sun exposure.
- Rejuvenating treatments like chemical peels, slough off dead skin to reveal new, fresher skin. This new skin is ultra photo-sensitive, so precautions need to be taken to avoid UV exposure in order to prevent hyperpigmentation or other issues. Remember, sun damage is the biggest offender in causing the visible signs of aging!
Laser Rejuvenation such as laser Genesis will aid in tightening the skin and shrinking large pores for a softer smoother skin.

Aloe is most commonly known to be a skin exfoliant but discovery of the uses of the “wonder plant” dates back to many centuries ago- almost 6,000 years to be exact.
