Christmas is a time for giving, but it can also be the perfect opportunity to give your skin a little extra attention. Between colder weather, central heating, busy diaries and festive celebrations, your skin may begin to feel drier, duller or simply in need of a refresh.
At LasaDerm, we believe great skin starts with understanding what it actually needs. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, our doctor-led team carefully assesses your skin before recommending the treatments most suited to your concerns.
This Christmas, we have created four seasonal skin treatment programmes designed to target common concerns such as dehydration, fine lines, uneven texture, dullness and early signs of ageing. Each programme combines carefully selected treatments to work towards healthier, smoother and more refreshed-looking skin.
Whether you would like a hydration boost before the festive season or want to begin a more complete skin rejuvenation journey, our team at our skin clinic in Milton Keynes can help you find an option that suits your skin.
Christmas Skin Treatment Packages – Everything You Need To Know
Everyone’s skin is different, which means the treatment your friend loves may not necessarily be the treatment your skin needs. Some people are mainly concerned about dryness, while others want to improve fine lines, uneven texture or a loss of firmness.
This is why every LasaDerm Christmas skin programme begins with professional assessment and individualised treatment planning. In this guide, we will explain the treatments included in our seasonal packages, how they work and which programme may be most appropriate for your concerns.
- Why Might Your Skin Need Extra Care During Winter?
- What Is Viscoderm Hydrobooster?
- What Is Profhilo?
- How Can Professional Skin Peels Improve The Skin?
- What Is LED Light Therapy?
- Which Christmas Skin Treatment Package Is Right For Me?
- What Happens During Your LasaDerm Consultation?
- How Can You Look After Your Skin Over Christmas?
Although the packages have been designed around common skin concerns, suitability will always be determined during your consultation. Our aim is not simply to recommend the biggest treatment package, but to help you choose the programme that makes the most sense for your skin.
Why Might Your Skin Need Extra Care During Winter?
Winter can bring a noticeable change in the way your skin looks and feels. Cold outdoor temperatures combined with heated indoor environments can leave skin feeling dry or uncomfortable. You may also notice that fine lines become more visible when your skin is dehydrated, while a lack of moisture can make the complexion look dull.
The festive season can bring other changes too. Busy social calendars, late nights and changes to your usual routine can all make it harder to stay consistent with skincare.
This does not mean that everyone suddenly needs an intensive treatment as soon as December arrives. However, it can be a useful time to reassess your skin and think about whether your current routine is still giving it the support it needs.
Some common concerns we see at this time of year include:
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Dullness
- Fine superficial lines
- Uneven skin texture
- Reduced radiance
- Early loss of firmness
- Skin that simply looks tired
Hydration is particularly important when discussing skin quality. Research indexed by PubMed highlights the role hyaluronic acid plays in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity and firmness. Levels and function within the skin also change as we age, which can contribute to dryness and the appearance of wrinkles.
Basic skincare should still form the foundation of healthy-looking skin. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends moisturising regularly and protecting the skin from the sun to help reduce visible signs of ageing.
However, professional treatments can provide additional options when you want to target particular concerns in a more focused way. This is where treatments such as Viscoderm Hydrobooster, Profhilo, professional peels and LED light therapy can be considered.
What Is Viscoderm Hydrobooster?
Viscoderm in Milton Keynes is one of the key treatments included across our Christmas skin packages.
Viscoderm Hydrobooster is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to improve hydration while helping to smooth superficial fine lines. Rather than focusing on creating facial volume, the treatment is aimed at improving the quality and appearance of the skin itself.
This can make it particularly useful for areas where there is a lot of natural facial movement.
At LasaDerm, Viscoderm may be used around areas including:
- The forehead
- Around the eyes
- The cheeks
- The temples
- Around the mouth
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present within the body and plays an important role in retaining moisture within the skin. Research into injectable hyaluronic acid treatments has shown promising evidence for improvements in aspects of facial skin quality including hydration, firmness, brightness, texture, radiance and elasticity.
Viscoderm is particularly suited to people who are beginning to notice changes such as fine lines, dullness or tired-looking skin but do not necessarily want to alter the shape or volume of their facial features.
Within our Christmas programmes, Viscoderm Hydrobooster is used to provide targeted hydration and smoothing for fine lines, dullness and tired-looking skin.
Depending on the chosen programme, you may receive either one or two Viscoderm treatments.
The exact treatment plan will always be discussed during your consultation. This gives our doctor-led team an opportunity to assess your skin, explain what Viscoderm can realistically achieve and make sure it is suitable for you.
What Is Profhilo?
While Viscoderm focuses on targeted areas and superficial lines, Profhilo in Milton Keynes takes a slightly different approach.
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to provide deep hydration while supporting the overall quality and firmness of the skin.
It is sometimes described as an injectable moisturising treatment because it is placed beneath the skin and spreads through the tissue rather than being used primarily to create volume in a specific area.
At LasaDerm, Profhilo is used for clients who would like to address concerns such as:
- General dehydration
- Early signs of skin laxity
- Fine lines
- Loss of skin quality
- Skin that feels less firm
- A tired or less refreshed appearance
Within our Christmas packages, Profhilo is used to provide deep hydration and skin remodelling for smoother, firmer and more refreshed-looking skin.
It can therefore be particularly useful when the concern is not limited to one small area. Instead, the aim is to support overall skin quality across a wider treatment area.
Profhilo and Viscoderm may sound similar because both contain hyaluronic acid, but they are used differently.
Viscoderm is particularly useful for more targeted superficial lines and areas where you would like additional smoothing. Profhilo is used more broadly to improve hydration and support the skin as a whole.
This is why two of our seasonal programmes combine the treatments. Rather than viewing them as competing options, they can complement one another when your skin would benefit from both overall hydration and more targeted support.
How Can Professional Skin Peels Improve The Skin?
Hydration is only one part of skin quality. If your main concerns include dullness, uneven tone or rough texture, treatment of the surface layers of the skin may also be useful.
This is where professional skin peels in Milton Keynes can form part of a wider treatment programme.
A chemical peel involves applying a carefully selected solution to the skin to remove damaged or dead surface cells. As the skin renews, the complexion can appear smoother, fresher and brighter.
The American Academy of Dermatology explains that professional chemical peels may be used for concerns including fine lines, dull complexion, uneven skin tone, rough-feeling skin and sun damage.
At LasaDerm, the Christmas skin programmes that include peels use professional treatments as part of a wider plan rather than treating them as an isolated quick fix.
Within the seasonal offer, The Perfect Peel® Superblend is an advanced multi-acid peel designed to:
- Brighten dull-looking skin
- Improve uneven skin tone
- Improve skin texture
- Soften the appearance of fine lines
- Leave the complexion looking fresher and more radiant
Professional guidance is important with any chemical peel. The right peel depends on your skin, its condition and the concerns you would like to improve.
Trying to achieve faster results by using overly strong acids or combining several active skincare products at home can instead leave the skin irritated. Having your skin professionally assessed means the treatment can form part of a controlled and carefully considered programme.
What Is LED Light Therapy?
Each of the four Christmas skin programmes also includes LED light therapy in Milton Keynes.
LED light therapy is non-invasive and uses specific wavelengths of visible light as part of a skin treatment programme.
Different colours of light may be used depending on the concern being treated. At LasaDerm, our LED options include red, blue and combined light therapy.
Within the Christmas packages, LED therapy is included as a soothing treatment designed to complement the wider skin programme.
Its role within the programme is to help:
- Support skin recovery
- Reduce the appearance of redness
- Boost radiance
Unlike injectable treatments or peels, LED therapy does not involve needles or removing layers of skin. This makes it a useful complementary treatment within programmes that contain several different elements.
The Cleveland Clinic explains that LED light therapy uses different wavelengths of light and that professional treatments are often carried out as a series rather than relying on a single session.
As with every part of your LasaDerm programme, treatment suitability is important. Our team will explain why LED therapy has been included and how it fits alongside your other treatments.
Which Christmas Skin Treatment Package Is Right For Me?
We have created four Christmas programmes so that clients can choose a starting point based on their main skin concerns.
However, these are not intended to replace professional assessment. The programme ultimately recommended for you will be based on the condition of your skin, your treatment goals and your suitability for each procedure.
LasaDerm Smooth & Hydrate — £625
If your main concerns are dehydration and early fine lines, LasaDerm Smooth & Hydrate is the most focused of our seasonal programmes.
It includes:
- 2 Viscoderm Hydrobooster treatments
- LED light therapy
The programme has been created for clients looking to improve fine superficial lines, skin hydration and overall skin smoothness.
It may be particularly suitable if your skin feels dry or tired and you are beginning to notice the first visible signs of ageing.
The emphasis is on hydration and smoothing rather than addressing several different skin concerns at once.
Ideal for:
- Fine lines
- Dehydrated skin
- Early signs of ageing
- A general skin refresh
This can make Smooth & Hydrate a good option for someone who wants a straightforward programme without adding treatments they may not need.
LasaDerm Smooth & Glow — £775
If you would like to address hydration but are also concerned about dullness or uneven texture, LasaDerm Smooth & Glow takes the programme a step further.
It includes:
- 2 Viscoderm Hydrobooster treatments
- 2 professional skin peels
- LED light therapy
By combining injectable hydration with professional exfoliation, the programme is designed to work on several aspects of skin quality.
Viscoderm targets fine superficial lines and hydration, while professional peels focus more on the surface of the complexion. LED light therapy then complements the programme as part of the wider skin plan.
Ideal for:
- Fine lines
- Dull skin
- Uneven texture
- Dehydration
- Improving radiance
This may be particularly relevant if your skin does not simply feel dry but has also started to look lacklustre or uneven.
LasaDerm Hydrate & Refine — £875
For clients who would like to combine more general skin hydration with targeted treatment for persistent superficial lines, we offer LasaDerm Hydrate & Refine.
It includes:
- 2 Profhilo® treatments
- 1 Viscoderm Hydrobooster treatment
- LED light therapy
This programme brings together two different approaches to injectable skin hydration.
Profhilo® is used to support overall hydration and bio-remodelling across the face, while Viscoderm provides more targeted treatment for superficial lines.
The aim is to improve skin quality more broadly while still paying additional attention to areas where lines may be more noticeable.
Ideal for:
- Fine lines
- General skin hydration
- Early skin laxity
- Loss of skin quality
If your concern has progressed beyond simple dryness and you are beginning to notice changes in firmness or overall skin quality, this package may offer a more comprehensive approach.
LasaDerm Total Skin Renewal — £975
Our most comprehensive seasonal programme is LasaDerm Total Skin Renewal.
It includes:
- 2 Profhilo® treatments
- 1 Viscoderm Hydrobooster treatment
- 2 professional skin peels
- LED light therapy
Rather than focusing on one specific concern, this programme combines treatments that work on different aspects of skin quality.
Profhilo® supports overall hydration and bio-remodelling. Viscoderm focuses on targeted superficial lines. Professional skin peels address dullness, uneven texture and radiance, while LED light therapy complements the programme as part of the overall skin plan.
Ideal for:
- Dehydrated skin
- Fine lines
- Early skin laxity
- Uneven skin texture
- Dullness
- Overall skin rejuvenation
Total Skin Renewal may therefore be considered when several concerns are present at the same time and a more complete treatment programme is appropriate.
Choosing the most comprehensive option is not automatically better, however.
If your main concern is simply dehydration, you may not need a programme containing peels and several different injectable treatments. Equally, if you have concerns around texture as well as hydration and fine lines, a simpler package may not address everything you want to improve.
This is exactly why the consultation stage is so important.
What Happens During Your LasaDerm Consultation?
Before beginning one of our Christmas skin programmes, you will have a doctor-led consultation and skin assessment.
Every seasonal package includes:
- A doctor-led consultation and skin assessment
- Individualised treatment planning
- A review of your treatment response
- Aftercare advice
This gives you the opportunity to discuss what you actually want to improve rather than selecting a package purely from a list.
Your practitioner can look at areas including skin hydration, fine lines, texture and laxity before discussing which treatments may be appropriate.
We will also consider your medical history and whether there are any reasons a particular treatment may not be suitable for you. This is especially important when injectable procedures or professional peels form part of the programme.
At LasaDerm, we take an honest approach to aesthetic treatment. If we do not believe that a particular procedure will benefit your skin, we will not recommend it simply because it forms part of a larger package.
Your programme should make sense for you.
Treatment response can also vary between clients. Some people may notice changes relatively quickly, while other improvements appear progressively throughout a course of treatment.
Your review gives our team an opportunity to assess how your skin has responded and provide further advice.
How Can You Look After Your Skin Over Christmas?
Professional treatments can support your skin, but your everyday routine remains important. There are several simple ways to look after your complexion during the festive season.
Keep Your Skincare Consistent
A busy Christmas calendar can make routines disappear quickly. However, consistency is usually more beneficial than frequently changing products.
Stick to the skincare recommended for your skin and avoid introducing several strong new products at once, particularly around the time of professional treatment.
Moisturise Regularly
If your skin becomes drier during winter, an appropriate moisturiser can help support the skin barrier and keep it feeling more comfortable.
The American Academy of Dermatology explains that moisturisers work by trapping water in the skin and can temporarily make fine lines look less noticeable.
Continue Using Sun Protection
SPF is not only for hot summer days.
UV exposure still occurs throughout the year, so sun protection should remain part of your skincare routine even during winter.
Daily protection is particularly important if you are undergoing treatments that may leave your skin temporarily more sensitive.
Follow Your Aftercare
Every professional treatment comes with its own aftercare requirements.
You may be asked to temporarily avoid certain skincare ingredients, exercise, heat exposure or other treatments depending on the procedure you have undergone.
Follow the advice given by your LasaDerm practitioner rather than relying on general instructions found online.
Give Your Skin Time
It can be tempting to want an immediate transformation before an event, particularly at Christmas. However, many skin treatments work progressively.
Starting your programme in good time gives your skin the opportunity to respond naturally and means you are less likely to feel pressured into treatments just before an important occasion.
Give Your Skin A Seasonal Refresh With LasaDerm
Christmas is often associated with finding the perfect gift for everyone else, but taking time to care for yourself can be just as worthwhile.
Our seasonal programmes have been designed to provide different levels of support depending on your individual skin concerns.
If hydration and early fine lines are your priority, LasaDerm Smooth & Hydrate may provide the focused refresh you are looking for.
If dullness and uneven texture are also a concern, Smooth & Glow introduces professional skin peels alongside Viscoderm and LED light therapy.
For those noticing broader changes in hydration and skin quality, Hydrate & Refine combines Profhilo® and Viscoderm, while Total Skin Renewal brings all four treatment approaches together within our most comprehensive programme.
There is no need to decide which one is right for you before visiting the clinic.
At LasaDerm, our doctor-led team will assess your skin, listen to your concerns and recommend a programme based on what we believe will genuinely benefit you.
Every package includes professional consultation, individual treatment planning, a review of your response and aftercare advice, so you will be supported throughout your treatment journey.
