Give Yourself the Gift of Glowing Skin This Holiday Season

Dewy, glowing skin that thrives in summer can take a harsh turn once temperatures start dropping. The combination of cold outdoor air and dry indoor heating strips moisture from your face, and can leave you with a dull, rough complexion that no moisturizer seems to fix. 

At Modern Gynecology & Reproductive Health in Midtown Memphis, Tennessee, Susan Lacy, MD, FACOG, offers treatments that go deeper than topical products to repair and rejuvenate your skin. Here’s what you need to know about how winter weather affects your skin and which treatments can transform your complexion for the holidays.

Winter wreaks havoc on your complexion

Indoor heating systems blast dry air that depletes surface moisture, while freezing outdoor temperatures constrict blood vessels and reduce circulation to your face. The lack of humidity means your skin has nowhere to pull moisture from, leading to flakiness and rough patches.

Your oil glands also slow production in cold weather. That natural oil serves as your skin’s defense against environmental stressors. Without adequate sebum, irritants penetrate more easily and accelerate collagen breakdown. The result is inflammation, premature wrinkles, and dull skin.

Four treatments to get holiday-ready skin

Dr. Lacy offers several options that work beneath the surface to address the root causes of aging skin, such as:

Opus Plasma® resurfaces and regenerates

This treatment combines radiofrequency and plasma energy to create controlled microinjuries in your skin. These tiny wounds trigger your body’s healing response and ramp up collagen production in the deeper layers where aging actually happens.

The results show up as a smoother texture, a more even tone, and firmer skin. Opus Plasma works on fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and sagging in any area you need it — including the face, neck, chest, and hands.

PRP uses your own healing factors

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy concentrates the growth factors from your blood that naturally promote tissue repair and regeneration. Dr. Lacy injects this concentrated plasma into areas that need improvement.

Your own growth factors stimulate collagen formation and improve skin quality. PRP also adds volume where your skin has thinned over time, creating a fuller, more refreshed appearance.

Jeuveau® smooths expression lines

This injectable relaxes the muscles that create forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines. The treatment smooths your skin for a more polished appearance. It takes just a few minutes, and you can return to your day immediately afterward.

The Ultra-Glow Facial for instant results

Dr. Lacy designed this treatment for women who need visible improvements right away. The facial combines PRP, Jeuveau, exosomes, and hyaluronic acid, all of which are infused into your skin using ultrasound technology.

The ultrasound helps these ingredients penetrate deeper into your skin, where they work most effectively. You leave with brighter, smoother skin that looks noticeably refreshed.

Start now for holiday-ready skin

Most skin rejuvenation treatments require little to no downtime, which means you can schedule them during your lunch break and return to work immediately. Starting your treatments now gives you plenty of time to see full results before your holiday events.
