Your team at REVIVE Aesthetics and Wellness in East Greenwich, RI, shares our recommended springtime skincare tips to help you integrate both preventative + restorative routines and treatments for your optimal skin health and beauty that is effortless! 

Hydrafacials For Advanced Exfoliation

Give your skin a fresh start with a HydraFacial. A HydraFacial is a non-invasive, non-irritating treatment suitable for all skin types. It helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, congested pores, oily skin, hyperpigmentation, and more. Help your body move on from dry, dull winter skin to radiant, moisturized + healthy skin. This multi-step process involves cleansing and gently exfoliating the skin, extracting impurities, hydrating with nourishing serums, and protecting with antioxidants. The result is smoother, clearer, more radiant skin that is equipped to adapt to the spring sun, all with no downtime.

With a Hydrafacial, you can address multiple concerns in one session for instant, comprehensive results that last.

 Microneedling For Improved Collagen Production

Incorporating microneedling into your spring skincare regime improves your natural skin structure + resilience by stimulating your body’s natural collagen synthesis processes. Collagen is a crucial protein that gives skin its strength, elasticity + youthful appearance. As early as 24 years old, our collagen production naturally decreases  + we see the emergence of wrinkles, dullness + sagging skin.  Microneedling is a gentle way to counteract this by mimicking the body’s natural collagen-producing signals, prompting the skin to repair + rejuvenate from within. This leads to a stronger, more resilient skin structure and noticeable improvements in texture, firmness, and youthfulness.

The arrival of spring, with its changing conditions and increased outdoor time, exposes our skin to elements that can compromise its health and appearance. Microneedling prepares your skin to withstand these challenges by boosting collagen production, enhancing the skin’s ability to combat the effects of fluctuating temperatures and UV radiation. This approach is especially beneficial in spring, providing a sustainable solution that taps into the body’s regenerative potential for lasting skin health + resilience.

PRP For Brighter Under-Eyes

Help your body overcome premature aging around your eyes with Platelet Rich Plasma Injection (PRP) Therapy. If you have seasonal allergies or are prone to reoccurring dark circles, this one is for you! PRP is a unique anti-aging treatment that utilizes nutrients within your own blood to increase skin volume + rejuvenate the skin for noticeable, yet all-natural improvement – see ya dark circles + puffy eyes! This is a safe + effective treatment for all skin types (+pregnancy safe!), as it uses no foreign materials. 

The under-eye area, which is delicate and often the first to show signs of stress, aging, and fatigue, we recommend PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy.  PRP is an especially important treatment if you have seasonal allergies that cause your eyes to get itchy, puffy + irritated as these symptoms lead to premature aging.  PRP therapy begins with a simple extraction of a small amount of your blood. This sample is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma — rich in platelets and growth factors — from other blood components. The concentrated Platelet-Rich Plasma, now full of regenerative properties, is carefully injected into the under-eye area.

These growth factors play a vital role in the body’s natural healing processes, stimulating tissue repair + new cell growth. When applied to the under-eye area, they can rejuvenate the skin from within, reducing the appearance of dark circles, fine lines + puffiness that often contribute to a tired look.

We love this treatment during the spring months when our patients are ready to feel refreshed + look youthful after the long winter months. Ditch the concealer + allow PRP therapy to brighten your under eyes + reduce signs of aging and fatigue without resorting to more invasive procedures. 

Sculptra For Skin + Volume Restoration

Ready for an all-natural lift? Sculptra, formulated from poly-L-lactic acid, is a clinically approved injectable for addressing collagen loss. It distinguishes itself by promoting natural collagen production deep within your skin, resulting in a gradual, yet significant restoration of facial definition + lift. 

Unlike synthetic fillers, Sculptra’s effects are completely customizable + develop over time, creating the natural regeneration of the collagen matrix in the skin to help maintain the features you love. Sculptra can also strategically be injected to restore the contours + elasticity lost due to weight loss, stress + age-related changes. This results in enhanced facial volume and reduced appearance of wrinkles, particularly in areas susceptible to volume depletion like cheeks, temples + smile lines.

The treatment is designed for long-term, natural results, minimizing the need for frequent visits. Starting Sculptra in spring allows for progressive results to emerge in alignment with the season of renewal. At REVIVE, we use Sculptra for a strategic approach to anti-aging that complements the body’s regenerative capabilities for beauty that is natural, preventative + restorative.

Gua Sha For Facial Rejuvenation

Using a jade tool and customized technique, Gua Sha visibly firms your face using ancient eastern practices to generate a glowing complexion. Your 45-minute  treatment simultaneously stimulates blood circulation and promotes detoxification, while working to relax tense facial muscles that cause wrinkles, facial pain + headaches. Gua Sha has the unique ability to clear blockages in your lymphatic system, creating space and movement in the underlying structures, so that your skin can function at its best.

We recommend incorporating Gua Sha into your spring facial rejuvenation routine to align with the season’s natural emphasis on renewal and to enhance your skin’s detoxification process, creating a radiant + refreshed complexion without the need for makeup

‘Baby Botox’ For Wrinkle Prevention

Consider ‘Baby Botox’ for early intervention against wrinkles + optimal facial harmonization. This treatment offers a subtle, yet effective approach to maintaining a youthful appearance by preventing the formation of deep facial lines + balancing facial asymmetry. We love customizing your treatment, utilizing minimal doses for natural-looking results that not only move with you but also help your body learn to move smarter for personalized prevention

As we shed the heavy layers of winter and enjoy warmer, brighter days, ‘Baby Botox’ gives your skin a fresh, effortless appearance. Spring is an ideal time to address early signs of aging, setting the stage for a youthful, radiant appearance throughout the year.

Sunscreen For Everyday Sun Protection

Sun protection is a must all year. Specifically during the spring months while you enjoy the nicer weather, don’t forget to protect your skin. Apply sunscreen every two hours, and don’t forget to sunscreen your hands + scalp to prevent skin damage and maintain your overall dermatological health.

Seasonal Considerations For LightStim vs Laser Treatments

Especially during spring, increased UV exposure necessitates a reevaluation of laser treatments that may not be suitable throughout the year. The REVIVE team recommends LightStim instead. LightStim delivers light energy in a similar way plants absorb light energy from the sun by emitting UV-free, beneficial light energy to the skin.

Clinically proven, LightStim promotes collagen production and reduces inflammation, addressing concerns like wrinkles and acne without the post-treatment sensitivity common with lasers. Given its efficacy + safety, LightStim is recommended for spring, providing therapeutic benefits while minimizing risks associated with heightened sun exposure.
