New York seasons are dramatic, and your skin feels every shift. From winter dryness to summer sun exposure, our provider-led seasonal plans align injectables, lasers, skincare, and wellness treatments with the city's rhythms.
How Climate Impacts Skin Biology
Skin is a living organ that responds dynamically to environmental stressors. In NYC, that means:
- Winter: Cold air and indoor heat impair barrier function and increase transepidermal water loss (TEWL), leading to dryness and inflammation (American Academy of Dermatology).
- Spring/Summer: UV radiation increases pigmentation, collagen breakdown, and photoaging (National Cancer Institute).
- Year-round pollution: Environmental pollutants contribute to oxidative stress and premature aging (National Institutes of Health).
Specific treatments—like fractional CO2 lasers—require reduced sun exposure for safe recovery. Others, such as neuromodulators and PRP, can be performed year-round.
