Summer can be a lot of fun, especially for those who love the outdoors. But if there’s one thing that can be worse than post-holiday blues it’s all those sun-drenched days and exotic foods taking a toll on your skin and body. Collagen depletion, hyaluronic acid depletion, pigmentation and other skin damage, are just a few of the post-holiday woes you can return home with.  The good news is that with the right treatments and setting up an at-home care routine, you can certainly get back to beautiful skin once again. Finding the right treatment(s) is as important as finding the right provider.  Hortman Clinics, a premium wellness and aesthetics clinic in Dubai, equipped with world-class practitioners and cutting-edge technologies, specialises in transforming beauty, wellness, and healthcare procedures into patient-tailored experience journeys. 

Dr. Anna Lisniak, Specialist Dermatologist at Hortman Clinics, has the following recommendations and advice for post-holiday skin and body care:

Laser Technology

Laser treatments have come a long way since their debut and are now one of the most sought-after treatments when it comes to hyperpigmentation, acne scars, skin tightening, and so much more because of the effective results and minimal downtime. To reduce the signs of sun damage including pigmentation, spots, redness, and uneven skin tone, Dr. Anna recommends lasers such as the BBL, Moxi, and PICO Genesis for ultimate skin rejuvenation. 

Skin Boosters

Skin Boosters are dermal fillers that revitalize the skin, improving its appearance and texture. The treatment consists of micro-injections of dermal filler into deeper layers of the skin to hydrate and repair. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it is not injected beneath the skin to volumize the face. Instead, it contains light hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and minerals that aim to hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, tone and texture, and restore luminosity. It’s the perfect treatment to nourish dull, tired skin post-holidays. 

Revitalizing facials

Visiting an aesthetician for regular skin cleaning and skincare is recommended all year round, especially after a holiday. When done well, facials can effectively address uneven skin tones and textures that include dryness of skin, acne, dark spots and blemishes that are often due to unprotected sun exposure. Custom facials can also address skin dullness and aging.

Consider Body Contouring 

Holidays normally end up with weight gain, and when that happens, you do not have to fret because body sculpting is at hand to help. It will tighten skin, eliminate fat, and shape areas of the body in just a few sessions. The revolutionary EmSclupt is a non-invasive procedure and is the only treatment that helps to lift and tone by building muscle and removing unwanted fat at the same time. The process works by directing highly focused electromagnetic energy to the area, allowing the muscles to contract. In response to the contractions, muscles reconstruct themselves and the fat in the area begins to melt away more easily. Most patients benefit from at least 4 treatments for tangible results. 

At-home care 

Post-vacation, Dr. Anna recommends getting back to your routine as soon as possible and restoring healthy habits such as getting enough sleep, eating wholesome meals, drinking more water, and ensuring your skincare routine is back on track.
