Holiday gatherings, travel, and winter weather can leave your complexion feeling tired. January and February offer a calm reset. Cooler temperatures and less sun exposure support safe, effective healing. At Columbus Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Houser and our attentive team deliver non-surgical options that refresh your features with minimal downtime. Your transformation starts with trust.
Why winter favors laser resurfacing and chemical peels
Lower UV levels reduce the risk of sun damage during recovery. That helps your treated area heal smoothly and supports better sun protection habits as you build a healthy skin routine. Laser resurfacing uses light energy to target the outer layers where dead skin cells, pigmentation issues, and age spots sit. Chemical peels dissolve dull buildup to reveal new skin with improved skin tone and skin texture.
Our technology allows precise control over the treatment area. Laser skin resurfacing can be gentle or more intensive, based on your skin types and skin conditions. Some patients benefit from deeper skin resurfacing that addresses brown spots and deep wrinkles. Others need lighter laser treatment that encourages new collagen with fewer side effects. During your consultation, we discuss your goals and the healing process so you understand how to protect your results from sun exposure.
Which winter skin rejuvenation option is right for you?
We begin with your aesthetic goals, skin concerns, and timeline. Then we recommend a personalized treatment plan that fits your skin type and lifestyle. Some patients need a single session for visible results. Others see optimal results from a series for gradual facial rejuvenation.
BOTOX and dermal fillers for a smooth, relaxed look
Holiday stress can make dynamic wrinkles more noticeable. BOTOX temporarily softens the muscle activity that creates forehead lines and crow’s feet. It smooths fine lines while preserving your natural expression. Dermal fillers add volume where time has created shadows or static wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid fillers are an excellent choice for softening smile lines and restoring youthful contours with minimal downtime.
Together, these skin treatments refresh the upper and mid-face, improve skin quality, and reduce signs of aging. Many patients notice visible results within days. You leave looking rested and confident. We guide you on aftercare and skin care so you maintain best results.
Chemical peels to brighten tone and refine texture
Chemical peels lift away the outer layers that hold dullness. Gentle formulas like glycolic acid dissolve dead skin cells, soften fine lines, and smooth rough patches. Medium peels can improve acne scars, age spots, sun spots, and uneven skin tone by reaching deeper layers of the skin. This controlled renewal reveals new skin and supports collagen production for lasting radiance.
Peels fit a wide range of skin types. We customize solutions to address specific pigmentation issues and the natural variations among skin layers. You receive clear instructions on sun protection and home care so the treated area stays calm and protected as it renews.
Laser treatments that target pigment, texture, and tone
Laser skin resurfacing harnesses laser energy to remove damaged skin and stimulate new collagen. It can address brown spots from sun exposure, smooth texture irregularities, and soften deep wrinkles. Some patients benefit from non-ablative laser skin approaches that heat the deeper layers of skin without removing surface tissue. Others may be candidates for more intensive procedures that function like ablative lasers. We will guide you to the safest path for your skin concerns.
Laser skin procedures can also support skin tightening by triggering collagen stimulation and the growth of new collagen. Careful settings preserve blood vessels and healthy skin while focusing on the precise layers of skin that need attention. Our team explains expected side effects, the healing process, and how to time treatments for work or events. Thoughtful planning supports dramatic results with comfort and safety.
Microneedling to kickstart collagen and boost glow
Microneedling creates microchannels that encourage collagen production and the formation of new collagen. This technique refines skin texture, reduces acne scars, and improves skin laxity in mild cases. It also helps even skin tone by dispersing excess pigment. Many patients pair microneedling with topical growth factors or stem cells for enhanced collagen stimulation and smooth, healthy skin over time.
You can expect minimal downtime and steady improvements in skin quality over several weeks. Some people are curious about RF microneedling as a category. During your consultation, we will discuss how our microneedling approach fits your goals and which treatment area to prioritize for optimal results.
How these options compare to plastic surgery
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures create meaningful, visible results for the skin. They complement plastic surgery but do not replace procedures designed for fat reduction or structural lifting. Laser skin treatments, chemical peels, BOTOX, dermal fillers, and microneedling focus on the skin layers. They improve texture, tone, and the appearance of lines. Surgical procedures address underlying tissues and contours. We help you understand the differences so you can choose confidently.
Personalizing your treatment plan for optimal results
Every face tells a different story. We listen closely to understand your aesthetic goals, timeline, and comfort level. Then we tailor your treatment plan. A patient with dynamic wrinkles and fine lines may benefit from BOTOX and a light peel. Someone with acne scars and pigmentation issues may prefer a series of laser treatments or microneedling for gradual, natural-looking improvement.
Combining treatments often delivers the best results. Peels can prepare your skin cells for laser skin sessions. Fillers can restore volume after laser resurfacing smooths the surface. Careful sequencing protects the layers of the skin and supports balanced facial rejuvenation.
