As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, our time spent outdoors naturally decreases. For many, this seasonal shift offers
the perfect opportunity to focus on skin rejuvenation and repair after months of sun exposure. At Phelan Dermatology, located in Joplin and Jane, Missouri, they offer several aesthetic treatments designed to reverse the effects of summer sun damage, including chemical peels and CO2 laser resurfacing.
Why Winter is Ideal for Skin Repair
Sun damage accumulates over time, leading to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. While sunscreen is an essential defense, no one is completely immune to UV exposure. The cooler months provide a break from strong sun rays, making it the safest time to undergo corrective treatments. With reduced sunlight, post-treatment skin is less prone to damage and irritation, allowing for optimal healing.
Chemical Peels: Refresh and Rejuvenate
One of the most effective ways to treat sun damage is through chemical peels, which work by removing the outermost layers of dead skin cells. This reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath while also stimulating collagen production. At Phelan Dermatology, their chemical peels are customized to suit your skin type and concern, targeting issues such as discoloration, fine lines, and dullness. Winter is the perfect time for this treatment since recovery is easier when sun exposure is minimal.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing: Deep Repair for Lasting Results
For those looking for a more intensive treatment, CO2 laser resurfacing is a powerful option that delivers deeper results. This
treatment targets deeper layers of the skin, effectively reducing wrinkles, sunspots, and even acne scars. By creating microinjuries, the CO2 laser stimulates collagen regeneration and allows the skin to heal with a smoother, firmer appearance. With the downtime involved, it’s best done during winter months when you can comfortably stay indoors and avoid direct sun.
Combining Treatments for Maximum Impact
At Phelan Dermatology, they often recommend combining treatments like chemical peels and CO2 laser resurfacing for even more dramatic improvements. By addressing the superficial layers with peels and the deeper layers with lasers, you can achieve a full spectrum of rejuvenation. The Phelan team works closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals and ensures that your skin heals beautifully in time for spring.
