Their team of experts is here to guide you through the process and recommend the best products and treatments to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and radiant all season long.

Mid-Morning Magic's Yolanda Maartens spoke to Aesthetic Doctor, Dr. Kobus Erasmus, and Somatologist, Jaclyn Ivy, to find out how you should look after your skin during winter.

Why should your winter skincare routine be different from your summer routine? The answer lies in the distinct environmental conditions that winter brings. Cold temperatures and decreased humidity can leave your skin feeling dry, flaky, and more prone to irritation and sensitivity. That's why it's crucial to make adjustments to your skincare routine and give your skin the extra care it needs.

Hydration is key during the winter months.

Protection is another essential aspect of winter skincare. Cold winds and low temperatures can strip away your skin's natural oils, leaving it vulnerable. Make sure to shield your skin with a good quality, fragrance-free lip balm and don't forget to wear sunscreen. Even during winter, UV rays can still be damaging to your skin.

Gentle cleansing is vital to maintain your skin's moisture barrier. Opt for milder, hydrating cleansers that won't further dry out your skin. This gentle approach will help keep your skin balanced and prevent excessive dryness.

Exfoliation should be adjusted during winter. While it's still important to slough off dead skin cells, reducing the frequency of exfoliation can prevent over-exfoliating and potential skin irritation. Consider using gentler exfoliators or chemical exfoliates for a more effective and gentle approach.

If you have specific concerns such as eczema, rosacea, or dry patches, Contour.Med's somatologists can recommend suitable products or treatments tailored to your needs. They believe in addressing individual concerns and providing personalized solutions to achieve your desired skincare goals.

At Contour.Med, they are all about skin hydration and skin quality. That's why they offer a range of treatments designed to enhance your skin's overall quality and hydration.

One of their popular treatments is Skinboosters, a brand of injectable dermal fillers that deeply hydrate and improve your skin's texture and elasticity. These microinjections can reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve skin tone and texture, and restore a youthful, radiant glow to your skin.

Resurfacing treatments such as Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) can be advantageous during winter. With reduced sun exposure and decreased pigmentation, IPL treatments can address issues like sunspots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. Winter provides the perfect opportunity for skin rejuvenation, preparing you for the summer months when sun exposure typically increases.

Contour.Med also offers biostimulators, biomodulators, and microneedling treatments to further enhance your skincare journey. Their comprehensive range of services is designed to address your specific needs and help you achieve your desired results.

Exciting news! Contour.Med is thrilled to announce that they have added two new laser treatments to their lineup - the Forma and BodyFX treatments.

The Forma treatment utilizes radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production. It targets sagging skin, wrinkles, and overall skin laxity, leaving you with a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Forma is versatile and can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs.

BodyFX, on the other hand, is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy, negative pressure massage, and deep tissue heating. It targets stubborn fat deposits, tightens skin, and improves overall body shape. If you've been struggling to achieve your desired body goals through diet and exercise alone, BodyFX might be the solution you've been looking for.

At Contour.Med, they are committed to providing the latest laser technologies and skincare treatments to help you look and feel your best. Their expert team will guide you through the process and create a customized treatment plan to address your unique needs.
