Your Ultimate Holiday Skincare Gift-Giving Guide

Halloween is over, and that means it’s finally time for peppermint hot chocolate, your favorite Mariah Carey carols, and your fuzziest set of PJs. And it’s also time to think up the best holiday gifts for everyone on your nice list. Of course, you could get them yet another scented candle or scour crowded aisles for a new beauty set. Or you could give them something they really want—a skincare gift experience that will bring a lasting holiday glow.

The gift of healthy, age-defying skin will always be in, and at Advanced Dermatology of North Central Ohio, we can certainly help you deliver. We’ve created our ultimate guide to giftable cosmetic treatments and products that will make anyone’s holiday wishes come true (even if that someone is you)!

Next-Level Photofacials & More with BBL Laser Treatment

Intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacials have been a mainstay in the beauty world since the mid-90s, lauded for their ability to treat age spots, reduce enlarged pores, and provide an overall “airbrushed” look to the skin. Broadband light, or BBL, takes that technology to the next level, offering enhanced precision, more dramatic results, and more comfortable treatments.

In just one to three quick, 30-minute sessions, BBL laser skin treatments can radically rejuvenate the skin’s tone, complexion, and texture, boosting collagen production for months or even years to come. It’s perfect for the person in your life who struggles with acne, wants to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, or is looking to minimize freckles, sunspots, or age spots.

Our Sciton BBL laser’s advanced technology allows us to offer many cosmetic laser treatments, such as laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, and even laser scar removal. You can’t go wrong with the gift of BBL!

Total Skin Radiance with Microneedling

If you haven’t heard of microneedling, the beauty buff in your life most certainly has—trust us. This simple yet revolutionary treatment has taken social media and dermatology by storm. We love this procedure because it’s safe, it’s quick, and it’s super effective for revitalizing the skin.

Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment uses ultrafine needles to trigger the body’s natural healing processes. The body registers every needle’s touch as a micro-wound, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers that add structure, heal old scars and stubborn pigmentation, and leave skin looking truly radiant.

Microneedling is a perfect gift for anyone interested in:

• Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles
• Reducing or eliminating acne scars
• Minimizing the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and age spots
• Improving skin’s firmness and “bounce”
• Achieving a smooth, even, and bright complexion

Ageless Beauty with Botox® & Dermal Fillers

You might think Botox and Dermal Fillers are ideal gifts for the more mature woman in your life. And you’d be correct—however, these injectable treatments are extremely popular for 20-somethings, too.

Botox not only smooths out existing fine lines and wrinkles but also helps prevent them. Because Botox freezes facial muscles, it stops them from making the very motions that create wrinkles in the first place. So whether your giftee is interested in maintaining or recapturing their youthful appearance, Botox may be ideal.

Most people start getting dermal fillers between the ages of 40 to 55 to combat the natural diminishment of fat, collagen, and elastin in the skin that happens as we age. But they can also be a great alternative to surgical procedures for anyone interested in adding volume, shape, or contour to an area they feel less than confident about.

A board-certified dermatologist can address your giftee’s exact aesthetic concerns, creating safe, effective, and natural-looking dermal filler results that achieve the look they desire.

Fresh Skin for a Fresh Start with Chemical Peels

Winter is the perfect time for a chemical peel—and this treatment can help anyone put on a fresh face for the New Year. Chemical peels are the perfect way to slough off all the stresses of the year and start anew with supple, radiant skin. At Advanced Dermatology of North Central Ohio, we have several peels suited for anyone wishing to target skin concerns such as:

• Redness and irritation
• Acne
• Wrinkles and other signs of aging
• Skin discoloration
• Melasma and sun damage
• Dull, lackluster complexion
• Minor scarring, such as acne scarring
• Skin congestion
