Hydrate. Polish. Protect.
Winter takes more from your skin than you realize.
Cold air, indoor heating, and lower humidity levels don’t just make skin dry — they leave it dehydrated, dull, and textured. Many patients assume they simply need a heavier moisturizer. But often, the issue isn’t just dryness. It’s hydration loss within the skin itself.
That’s why our March focus is simple:
Hydrate. Polish. Protect.
A true post-winter reset addresses all three.
Hydrate: Why Moisturizer Isn’t Always Enough
Moisturizers seal the surface of the skin.
Hydration restores water within the skin.
After winter, most skin is depleted — not just dry. Hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in restoring that hydration.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that binds and retains water. Environmental stress and seasonal changes can reduce its effectiveness, leading to:
- Tightness
- Dullness
- Fine lines appearing more pronounced
- Makeup sitting unevenly
We offer several professional-grade hyaluronic acid options depending on your skin type and goals:
- SkinMedica HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator – Multi-weight hyaluronic acid for long-lasting hydration and visible smoothing.
- SkinMedica HA5® Foaming Cleanser – A hydrating cleanse that supports moisture balance.
- SkinMedica HA5® Water Burst Moisturizer – Lightweight hydration with barrier support.
- PCA Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum – A targeted serum designed to enhance the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid production.
Each product serves a different role in a regimen. During your consultation, we help determine which formula — or combination — is appropriate for your skin.
“After winter, most patients are dehydrated — not just dry. Restoring hydration within the skin can dramatically improve overall texture and radiance.”
– Dr. Northington, Dermatologists of Birmingham
Polish: Professional Exfoliation with DiamondGlow®
Even with excellent skincare, winter often leaves behind buildup.
Dead skin accumulation can:
- Dull the complexion
- Reduce product penetration
- Contribute to uneven texture
- Make fine lines appear more visible
DiamondGlow®, available at both of our locations, is a medical-grade exfoliation and infusion treatment performed by trained professionals.
DiamondGlow works in three steps:
- Exfoliates with a diamond-tipped wand
- Extracts debris and congestion
- Infuses condition-specific serums into freshly exfoliated skin
Because infusion happens immediately after exfoliation, the skin is more receptive — enhancing hydration and overall glow.
“Patients are always surprised how much smoother and brighter their skin feels after just one DiamondGlow treatment.”
— Rowe, Aesthetic Expert
For optimal results, we often recommend a series. When you purchase a package of DiamondGlow treatments, you’ll save 10%, making it easier to maintain consistent results.
When paired with hyaluronic acid-based skincare, DiamondGlow enhances product performance and improves long-term results.
Protect: SPF Is Not Seasonal
Sunscreen isn’t just for summer.
UV exposure increases before temperatures rise. Even on cloudy days, UV radiation contributes to premature aging, pigmentation, and collagen breakdown.
Daily SPF is essential year-round — especially after exfoliation treatments and hydration-focused regimens.
If you’re not using a flashlight, you should be wearing sunscreen.
Our team can help you select the right EltaMD® sunscreen for your skin type and lifestyle.
Putting It Together: Hydrate. Polish. Protect.
A true post-winter reset includes:
- Restoring hydration with hyaluronic acid
- Removing buildup with professional exfoliation
- Protecting results with daily SPF
This month, when you purchase SkinMedica HA5®, you’ll receive:
- A complimentary travel-size EltaMD® SPF
- $50 off a DiamondGlow treatment (purchased in March)
The goal isn’t simply to sell a product.
It’s to reset your routine correctly before summer.

If your skin still feels like it’s in January, it may be time to reassess your regimen.
