Serums and the cold chilly weather
Serums are great in the cold weather since they layer the skin actives before applying your moisturizer and sun block. It’s a well-known fact that cold weather and low humidity levels results in dry air that draws moisture from our skin, and giving that dull complexion. Serums have the added advantage of been light weight hence they penetrate into the skin pores after cleansing and work their magic from inside -out
So, what are the best serums to have during our so-called winter months?
Hyaluronic acid serums
Hyaluronic acid is found in high concentration in our joints and eyes. It works by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and tissues. It is recommended by physicians for its ability to improve skin texture and appearance thereby giving one a lasting glow and reducing fine lines and wrinkles
Some benefits of using Hyaluronic acid serums are;
SUNSCREEN | SUNBLOCK |
Also known as chemical sunscreen | Also known as physical sunscreen |

A Dermal Filler is an aesthetic treatment that helps restore facial contours around the cheeks, lips, and mouth area so as to enhance the signs of aging. Our Facial Aesthetic Solutions doctors often recommend use of JUVEDERM®, a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler gel of smooth-consistency that, when injected, restores volume to the skin, and smooths away moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds.
How does Juvéderm® work?
The active ingredient in Juvéderm hyaluronic acid stimulates production of collagen which is responsible for plumping skin helping skin look younger. However, as you age, production of hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in the human body as well as collagen decreases hence causing facial skin to sag and wrinkle. During treatment, the cosmetic doctor injects Juvéderm into the targeted area then gently massages the section to ensure even spreading of the filler and control swelling. The lidocaine in the injection takes only seconds to spread across the treatment area. The Dermal Filler Juvéderm is recommended at Facial Aesthetic Solutions Nairobi as it’s a fast-acting anti-aging cosmetic treatment as compared to other treatments.
Is Juvéderm® safe?
Juvéderm is a safe and approved aesthetic treatment by the food and drug administration (FDA) approved Juvéderm in 2006. The Aesthetics doctors at Facial Aesthetic Solutions always insist on follow up treatments 1-2 weeks after treatment so as to ensure the desired dermal filler effects have been achieved and maintained as well as the client is doing well after the treatment.

What to Expect After Juvéderm® Anti-Aging Treatment?

However, additional touch-ups may be needed to maintain optimal results.
