In spring, the drier winter weather becomes more humid and there is a higher chance of rain. For the skin, this is a time for extra care regarding the warmer weather, while also dealing with variations from cold fronts that tend to arise.
According to Dr. Renata Melo, this is the time to hydrate the skin well, keep it clean, and not forget sunscreen, due to the characteristics of temperatures that are sometimes high and sometimes milder. “Even though the sun is not that strong yet, it is necessary to protect yourself; however, this is the time when most patients prepare their skin for the arrival of summer,” emphasizes the doctor.
Among the technologies, Renata highlights that the procedures that stand out during this time are: Peeling, Laser, Ultraformer MPT, Botulinum Toxin, and Collagen Biostimulators. “Since this period precedes summer, treatments to renew the skin and address spots, wrinkles, and acne are appropriate,” she says. In addition to treatments, the doctor provides skincare tips to complement the daily routine.
Dermatologist Karina Mazzini suggests procedures for the décolletage and neck. "These often-forgotten areas also need care, and as they become more apparent from now on, it's time to pay even more attention to them," explains Karina.
The procedures for the décolletage and neck aim to reduce spots and rejuvenate the skin in these areas, which, due to being highly exposed to the sun, age more than other areas. Karina Mazzini reports that the most sought-after treatments are collagen biostimulators, fractional lasers, and microfocused ultrasound. "The idea is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to make the skin more radiant and firmer, eliminate sagging, and improve spots."
For patients suffering from stretch marks in the arms and décolletage area, the dermatologist also suggests treatment with laser and fractional microneedling radiofrequency. "Showing off the arms can be uncomfortable for patients who have stretch marks in this area, so these treatments can help a lot," she reports.
Spring Skincare Tips
- Cleanse your face daily – both upon waking and before sleeping, follow your skincare cleansing routine, before applying makeup and after removing it.
- Use sunscreen every day – regardless of whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or even raining, sunscreen should be used daily. Besides UV rays, there are artificial lights, both from screens and from the environments we work in, that cause skin spots.
- Drink water and eat properly - Drink at least two liters of water a day and opt for healthy, unprocessed foods.
