Local Expert: Why January Is the Perfect Time for Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing gets a lot of buzz this time of year — and for good reason. We sat down with Mary Phillips of Beautiful Eyes Aesthetics at The Eye Center in Greenfield to talk about why January is prime time for treatment, how Fotona laser technology is changing the game, and how advanced regenerative products like PDGF by Ariessence can elevate results even further.
Q: Why is January such a popular month to start laser skin resurfacing?
Mary Phillips: January is one of the best times of year for resurfacing. Sun exposure is lower, people are more consistent with skincare routines, and there’s a natural reset mindset after the holidays. It allows optimal healing and collagen renewal.
Q: How does Fotona differ from traditional resurfacing lasers?
Mary Phillips: Fotona is incredibly versatile and precise. We can customize depth and intensity so treatments range from gentle refreshers to more corrective options, depending on the person’s skin and goals.
Q: Is Fotona safe for all skin types?
Mary Phillips: Yes. Fotona allows us to safely treat all skin tones, including deeper complexions, by adjusting wavelength and energy to protect the skin barrier while delivering results.
Q: What concerns can Fotona address?
Mary Phillips: Texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, acne scars, sun damage, pigmentation issues, and dullness. It also stimulates collagen for firmer skin over time.
Q: Do you offer anything to enhance healing after treatment?
Mary Phillips: Yes — we offer PDGF by Ariessence, a regenerative treatment created by Dr. Lynch. It supports healing, collagen production, and overall skin recovery, pairing beautifully with laser resurfacing.
Q: Why is January especially good for first-time patients?
Mary Phillips: January tends to be slower socially, making downtime easier. It’s also ideal for starting a treatment plan so you’re glowing by spring.
