Dermatologist explains why winter can be the ideal time for some cosmetic procedures
The coldest season of the year is also the best time to undergo cosmetic procedures, since we are less exposed to the sun. In addition, low temperatures help reduce the possibility of spots forming after the technology.
According to dermatologist Silvia Quaggio there are some procedures that are more popular during this time of year and they are:
Chemical peels: Medium and deep peels in particular remove layers of the skin, increasing sensitivity to sunlight. Winter, with a lower incidence of UV radiation, reduces the risk of post-procedure hyperpigmentation. Recovery time varies depending on the depth of the peel, from 7 to 14 days for medium peels and up to 3 weeks for deep peels.

Fractional CO2 laser: According to the dermatologist, the fractional laser promotes intense skin renewal, being ideal for treating scars, wrinkles and blemishes. Recovery requires rigorous protection against solar radiation, making winter the best time to do it. Recovery time initially varies between 5 and 7 days, with the skin returning to its normal appearance within 4 weeks after being applied with more energy to correct deep wrinkles or acne scars.
Microneedling: The procedure stimulates collagen production, treating acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines, and low sun exposure during the winter reduces the risk of post-procedure complications. Recovery initially takes 3 to 5 days, with the skin returning to normal in about 7 days.
Treatments with Hyaluronic Acid and Botulinum Toxin: winter or even summer is always a good time to take care of your skin when necessary. “It is worth remembering that it is important to always know the best treatment for your skin, your problem or your goal. It is always necessary to consult a doctor and undergo the treatment recommended by the specialist in the area”, concludes the dermatologist.
