The winter weather in California is only slightly cooler than usual, but it can still be the ideal time to schedule that cosmetic procedure you’ve been interested in. During the winter, there are far fewer beach days and barbecues to attend and more time to sit back and relax. Cosmetic procedures can require weeks of downtime and rest to achieve the best recovery possible. That’s why the winter months can be the best time to schedule your cosmetic procedures.

Increased Time For Rest & Recovery
After your procedure, rest and sleep are vital to proper healing. Sleep can do wonders for the body while it’s healing. It can help reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system, reduce stress, and increase energy. With the weather cooling down, you will be faced with fewer invites to outdoor activities, which leaves more time to yourself to rest.
Following your procedure, there is also increased swelling and scarring that will fade with time. While your initial recovery may only last a few weeks, scarring may take months to dissipate. During the winter and spring seasons, you can bundle up and cover your scars more easily, should you want to keep them concealed.
More Vacation Days
Many businesses also offer plenty of paid holidays this time of year, which makes it easier to schedule vacation days while missing fewer projects at work. Plus, with increased vacation days, there is more time for you to rest and recover with less stress from other daily activities.
Reduced Sun Exposure
It’s vital to avoid sun exposure following a cosmetic procedure as it can be harmful to scars, lead to discoloration, and harm your recovery process. During the winter months, you can avoid outdoor activities more easily. Plus, the UV is often lower than during the summer months. If you do find yourself spending time outdoors, wear a high-SPF sunscreen and reapply as needed.
