Refresh, Renew and Radiate Confidence

Winter is a season of celebration, reflection, and reset—and it’s also an ideal time to focus on skin health and renewal. With cooler temperatures, fewer sun-exposure concerns, and a more flexible social calendar for many patients, the winter months offer an excellent opportunity to plan aesthetic treatments that support a refreshed, well-rested appearance.

At Schaffer Plastic Surgery, patients have access to a wide range of medically supervised MedSpa treatments designed to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime. When thoughtfully timed and tailored to individual goals, non-surgical treatments can help you maintain a healthy glow throughout the winter season and beyond.

Below are four effective, non-surgical options that are well suited for winter treatment planning.

Botox and Dermal Fillers: Subtle Enhancements with Minimal Downtime

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments used to restore lost facial volume, enhance contours, and soften deeper lines. At Schaffer Plastic Surgery, hyaluronic acid–based fillers are placed with precision to support facial balance and achieve natural-looking results without altering a patient’s underlying features.

Botox is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic lines caused by repetitive movement, such as forehead creases, frown lines, and crow’s feet. By reducing muscle activity in these areas, Botox helps smooth existing lines and can support wrinkle prevention over time. Results typically develop gradually over several days, with little to no downtime.

Because recovery time is minimal, Botox and dermal fillers are frequently incorporated into winter treatment plans, allowing results to settle naturally while patients enjoy seasonal activities with confidence.

HydraFacial: Instant Glow, No Downtime

The HydraFacial is a medical-grade skin treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and hydration in a single visit. The treatment follows a three-step process:

• Cleanse and exfoliate
• Extract and hydrate
• Infuse and protect

Winter weather can contribute to dryness and dullness, making HydraFacial a popular option for patients seeking immediate hydration and radiance. Treatments can be customized with targeted boosters to address seasonal concerns such as dryness, uneven tone, or lack of luminosity.

Because there is no recovery time, HydraFacial treatments are often scheduled throughout the winter to maintain healthy, refreshed skin.

Microneedling and Light Peels: Smoother, Brighter Skin

Microneedling and light chemical peels are non-surgical treatments that support skin renewal by stimulating collagen production and gently resurfacing the skin.

Microneedling helps refine skin texture, tone, and firmness, while light chemical peels address dullness, uneven pigmentation, and surface irregularities. The winter season is often an ideal time for these treatments, as reduced sun exposure supports healing and optimal results.

When scheduled appropriately, these procedures can deliver gradual, natural-looking improvement with minimal downtime.

The Scarlet RF Microneedling: Advanced Skin Tightening

Scarlet RF Microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to address both surface texture and deeper skin laxity. This treatment stimulates collagen production at multiple skin depths, supporting firmer, smoother skin over time.

Common treatment areas include the face, neck, and décolletage. Because results develop gradually, winter is often a strategic time to begin Scarlet RF treatments, allowing collagen remodeling to occur over the following months.

In some cases, Scarlet RF Microneedling may be paired with complementary treatments such as HydraFacial or light chemical peels, depending on individual skin needs and timing.

Planning a Winter MedSpa Treatment Timeline

By working closely with Dr. Schaffer during the consultation process, patients can create a personalized treatment timeline that balances aesthetic goals with recovery needs. While each plan is individualized, general timing considerations may include:

Early Winter (3-4 Weeks Out)

Treatments such as Scarlet RF Microneedling, traditional microneedling, or light chemical peels are often scheduled earlier in the season to allow results to develop gradually.

Mid-Winter (1-2 Weeks Out)

Botox and dermal filler treatments are commonly performed one to two weeks before social events to allow results to fully settle.

Ongoing Winter Maintenance

HydraFacial treatments may be scheduled throughout the winter months due to their immediate results and lack of downtime.

Because winter remains a popular time for aesthetic care, advance planning is encouraged.
