Facial add-ons are often misunderstood. They are not designed to complicate treatment or add unnecessary steps. When used thoughtfully, add-ons allow a facial to be customized to your skin’s specific needs on the day of your appointment.
During colder months, the right add-ons can make a noticeable difference in comfort, hydration, and overall results.
Dermaplaning for Smooth, Radiant Skin
Dermaplaning is a popular add-on that gently exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz. This treatment uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully scrape the skin’s surface, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion underneath.
Why choose dermaplaning in winter?
Removes dry, flaky skin that builds up during cold months
Enhances absorption of moisturizers and serums
Creates a flawless base for makeup application
Leaves skin feeling silky and refreshed
Dermaplaning is gentle enough for most skin types and can be combined with other treatments like hydrating masks or LED facial therapy for added benefits.
LED Facial Therapy to Boost Skin Health
LED facial therapy uses different wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. In winter, it’s especially helpful for improving circulation and reducing inflammation caused by dry, irritated skin.
Benefits of LED facial therapy as an add-on:
Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin
Reduces redness and soothes sensitive areas
Speeds up skin healing and repair
Adds a natural glow by improving blood flow
This non-invasive treatment is painless and requires no downtime, making it an excellent choice to complement your regular facial during the colder months.
Hydrating Masks for Deep Moisture
Winter air can strip moisture from your skin, leading to tightness and flakiness. Adding a hydrating mask to your facial routine replenishes lost moisture and strengthens your skin barrier.
Look for masks with ingredients like:
Hyaluronic acid for intense hydration
Aloe vera to calm irritation
Ceramides to restore the skin’s protective layer
These masks lock in moisture and leave your skin feeling plump and soft, perfect for combating winter dryness.
Choosing Add-Ons During Your Appointment
One advantage of selecting add-ons during your visit is flexibility. Your provider can evaluate your skin in real time and recommend what will be most effective that day.
This approach avoids overcorrecting or adding services that are not needed. Add-ons are meant to enhance not overwhelm.
When skin receives the right support at the right time, maintenance becomes easier and results tend to last longer. Your provider can walk through options and help determine what makes sense for your skin and your goals.
