Step 3: Hydration Heroes
SkinMedica HA5 Hydrator (AM/PM):
The SkinMedica hydrator provides immediate smoothing in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and supports the skin's natural ability to retain moisture resulting in radiant, rejuvenated tone and texture.

Step 4: Sun Protection

EltaMD UV Lip Balm contains 5% Hydromanil™ for immediate and long-term moisturization. Powerful UV protection and a super hydrating power make EltaMD UV Lip Balm the ideal protector for all skin types and lifestyles.
Additional In-Office Treatment Options:
This is a popular skincare treatment that involves several steps to improve your skin's health. The process includes exfoliation, which gently removes dead skin cells using vortex suction and peels. It also clears clogged pores by using the same vortex suction technology. Hydration is then added to the skin through serums rich in hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides. You can even add topical boosters to address specific skin concerns, such as brightening, plumping, or acne. Finally, a light moisturizer and sunscreen are applied to protect and finish the treatment.
HydraFacials are ideal for all skin types and offer immediate results with minimal downtime. They're a great way to give your skin a winter pick-me-up and boost its hydration and glow.
Skinvive:
This injectable treatment delivers hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis, providing deeper, longer-lasting hydration than topical products. It can: Improve skin texture and elasticity, Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Enhance skin radiance and luminosity, and Promote healthy collagen production.
Skinvive is especially beneficial for dry, dehydrated skin that needs a boost from within. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments like HydraFacials for comprehensive results.
Remember: Consistency is key! Following this routine regularly will ensure your skin stays healthy and hydrated throughout the harsh winter months.
