Characteristics of Finnish Skin – Which Aesthetic Treatments Suit the Northern Climate?

20/12/2024

Finnish skin is exposed to sharp seasonal variations, presenting unique challenges for skincare and aesthetic treatments. Cold winters, dry indoor air, and intense summer UV radiation can disrupt the skin's moisture balance, increase sensitivity, and accelerate signs of aging. Therefore, treatments that support the skin's natural defense mechanisms, provide effective hydration, and promote collagen production are best suited for the northern climate.

Hydration and Skin Strengthening – Keys to Healthy Skin

Dry and thin skin is one of the most common challenges among Finns. Therefore, treatments that bind moisture and strengthen the skin's structure are particularly recommended:

Profhilo and Skinboosters – Deep-hydrating treatments that increase skin elasticity and reduce fine lines.

Mesotherapy – Effective vitamin and hyaluronic acid injections that give the skin a glow and help it withstand the stresses of the northern climate.

PRP Treatment (Vampire Facial) – Initiates the skin's renewal process and improves its moisture-binding capacity.

Strengthening the Skin's Defense Mechanism

The sensitivity of Finnish skin requires treatments that support the skin's own protective layer without excessive irritation:

Light Chemical Peels – Remove dead skin cells and support the skin's natural renewal without a strong peeling effect.

Microneedling – Stimulates the skin's collagen production and strengthens the skin without a long recovery time.

Protection in Winter, Recovery in Summer

In winter, the skin needs intensive hydration and protective treatments, while in summer, lighter, skin-strengthening treatments support its natural recovery. By timing aesthetic treatments according to the season, it can be ensured that the skin remains healthy and radiant year-round.

Caring for Finnish skin requires a comprehensive approach that combines deep hydration, strengthening of defense mechanisms, and light yet effective treatments. When the skin receives the support it needs, it better withstands the demands of the northern climate and maintains its youthfulness for a long time.

However, I want to emphasize that most treatments can be done year-round, and the advice provided is general recommendations. The right home care products are also key in skincare. You can ask more about this during a consultation or treatment.
