Your Best Skin Starts in Winter — Why December Is the Most Transformative Time to Begin Your Aesthetic Journey | South Hams Aesthetics, Kingsbridge

Winter is often seen as a time to hibernate — cosy nights in, rich food, cold air and shorter days.

But in aesthetics, December is something very different.

Winter is prime time for skin renewal, collagen repair, cellular stimulation and long-term transformation… if you start early enough.

Here in Kingsbridge at South Hams Aesthetics, we specialise in subtle, regenerative treatments that improve the function of your skin rather than freezing expression or changing who you are. For many women, the first step isn’t a filler syringe — it’s hydration, structure and cellular repair.

And winter happens to be the season where your skin tells the truth most loudly.

❄ Why Winter Skin Struggles — And Why That’s a Good Thing

Cold air → low humidity → decreased oil production

Heating indoors → barrier disruption → transepidermal water loss

Hot showers, stress, festive alcohol → inflammation + dehydration

If your skin feels:

tight or papery

dull or flat in tone

more lined under makeup

reactive or flushed

textured around mouth + eyes

It’s not ageing — it’s compromised barrier function, and this is when treatment does the most good.

Winter exposes weakness, and that means it’s also the moment we can strengthen.

This is your window.

When we support collagen + elastin during the months skin is most vulnerable, the effect isn’t seasonal — it’s compounding.

By spring, your reflection looks different.

🧬 The Treatments That Perform Best in Winter

This is where new clients often make the mistake of starting with filler too soon.

Filler replaces.

But winter skin usually needs repair.

At South Hams Aesthetics, we lead with regenerative medicine:

1. Polynucleotides (PN)

If you’ve been noticing hormonal or age-related changes — dullness, crepey under eyes, skin that bruises or marks more easily — PNs are one of the most forward-thinking technologies in aesthetics.

Stimulates fibroblasts → more collagen + elastin

Improves cell communication + hydration

Thickens thin skin (jawline, cheeks, tear trough)

Reduces chronic inflammation + redness

Results build naturally over 3–12 weeks

This is not about looking “filled”.

This is about looking alive.

2. Profhilo & Profhilo Structura

Where traditional Profhilo drenches the skin with HA for glow, Structura goes deeper into bio-remodelling — perfect for lower face laxity and subtle lift.

Deep hydration from inside out

Skin looks glassy, bouncy, more youthful

No shape change — just refinement

Beautiful for 30+ skin, peri-menopause, post-menopause

The difference is often described as:

🧴 moisturising vs 🔬 biological rejuvenation.

Both have a place. Winter maximises the effect.

3. Skin Boosters (HA based)

Not filler — hydration.

Not immediate — progressive improvement.

These are incredible for:

smokers’ lines

post-summer sun damage

dullness under makeup

creased cheeks / necklace lines

first-step treatment for nervous clients

This is often where women rediscover themselves slowly, week by week.

💛 Why Nurse-Led Aesthetics Matter More in Winter

Winter is when compromised barrier + inflammation + sensitivity are highest.

That means technique → dosage → pacing matter profoundly.

A medical injector understands:

✔ facial anatomy

✔ inflammatory response

✔ vascular risk

✔ product selection

✔ dose modification per skin type

This is not beauty.

This is medicine — subtle, artistic, clinical.

At South Hams Aesthetics you are treated by an experienced nurse prescriber with 18+ years medical background, still practising clinically in the NHS to maintain safe judgement and ethical standards.

Your treatment is never rushed, and your plan is built for longevity, not quick turnover.

You are a person, not a syringe appointment.
