The changing seasons can take a toll on your skin, especially in the autumn and winter. The cooler weather and lower humidity can lead to dryness, dullness, and other skin concerns. But don’t worry, there are a number of skin treatments that can help you keep your skin looking and feeling its best, even during the harshest months of the year.
Here are three of the best skin treatments available in the city of London for autumn and winter:
1. Lumecca IPL
Lumecca IPL is a non-invasive light treatment that can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea
- Acne
Lumecca IPL works by delivering pulses of light to the skin. The light is absorbed by melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. This destroys the melanin, resulting in a lighter and more even skin tone.
Lumecca IPL is a safe and effective treatment. It is also relatively quick and easy, with most treatments taking only 30-60 minutes.
Benefits of Lumecca IPL
- Reduces the appearance of sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Reduces redness and inflammation
2. Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This combination treatment is very effective for stimulating collagen and elastin production, which can result in younger, healthier skin.
Morpheus8 is a good option for people with a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loose skin
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
Morpheus8 is also becoming increasingly popular for facial contouring and lifting.
Benefits of Morpheus8
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens and firms the skin

- Improves the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks
3. Chemical peels
Chemical peels are a type of skin treatment that uses acids to remove the top layers of the skin. This reveals the fresh, new skin underneath.
Chemical peels can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars
- Rough skin texture
Chemical peels can be light, medium, or deep, depending on the desired results. Light chemical peels are the most gentle and are a good option for people with sensitive skin. Medium and deep chemical peels are more aggressive and can be used to address more severe skin concerns.
