Winter really is the prime time to book<\/a> pretty much any type of cosmetic treatment you can think of. The very things that are irksome about the season—lack of sun, not being able to leave the house without layers of clothing, not wanting<\/em> to leave the house at all—make it a great time to undergo everything from lasers to body sculpting. Doctors know this, which is why they’re currently scheduling the procedures they’ve waited all year to do for themselves. Below, seven RealSelf Verified plastic surgeons and dermatologists share what they’re getting for winter and why. <\/p>

Laser resurfacing, PRP, and LED light therapy<\/h2>

“This winter, I’m really looking forward to utilizing a mix of regenerative medicine and laser resurfacing to improve my skin and fat pad quality, targeting mostly dyspigmentation, fine lines, and subtle contours. Just as I do for my patients, I will customize a laser ‘cocktail,’ to address specific amounts of redness, pigmentation and photo damage. I’ll be combining a fractional, non-ablative, 1565 nm wavelength laser with a fractionated CO2 laser<\/a>. <\/p>

I’ll pair that with a regenerative medicine protocol using PRP<\/a>, PRF, and stem cell–rich nanofat<\/a>, to create more elastin. I will finish it off with some hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV nutrition, and LED light therapy<\/a>, to expedite my brief recovery time, which I will spend in the mountains snow skiing. I love the long-term results that come with this treatment and the completely autologous and powerful nature of the regenerative protocol. And because I’m doing everything in one setting, I’ll have only one period of downtime.” —Dr. Cameron Chestnut<\/a>, board-certified dermatologist in Spokane, Washington<\/p>

Revlite<\/h2>

“I’m excited to get Revlite<\/a> on my sunspots, primarily on my hands, since I will have the time to be out of the sun this winter. This innovative new procedure treats brown spots, which then exfoliate off after a few days. It uses 532 nm and 1062 nm wavelengths for non-ablative skin resurfacing, so it’s going to help remove my sunspots, reduce pores and fine lines, and stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. The procedure is quick, and it doesn’t burn or sting. I won’t need any anesthesia, so I can do the treatment in the morning and still see patients all day. I’m choosing Revlite over other procedures primarily for the fact that there will be no downtime but I’ll still see the results I want.” —Dr. Bruce Katz<\/a>, board-certified dermatologist in New York City<\/p>
