Why Our Medical Aesthetic Clinic Recommends iS Clinical
Winter Skincare in Charlotte, NC
Winter weather in Charlotte, NC often leads to dry, irritated, and sensitive skin. Cold temperatures, wind exposure, indoor heating, and low humidity increase moisture loss and compromise the skin barrier—making seasonal dryness difficult to correct with basic skincare alone.
At HollaceMD Advanced Laser + Aesthetics, a leading medical aesthetics clinic in Charlotte, winter is when we see a noticeable increase in concerns such as dehydration, flaking, redness, dullness, and heightened skin sensitivity. To address these changes effectively, we frequently recommend iS Clinical, a medical-grade skincare line designed to support skin barrier health and long-term skin function.
Why Winter Skin Needs Medical-Grade Skincare
Cold weather increases transepidermal water loss (TEWL), allowing moisture to escape the skin faster than it can be replenished. As the skin barrier weakens, the skin becomes more reactive and vulnerable to environmental stressors.
Common winter skin concerns we treat at our Charlotte medical aesthetics practice include:
Chronic dryness and dehydration
Redness and increased sensitivity
Rough texture or flaking
Fine lines appearing more pronounced
Effective winter skincare requires more than a heavier moisturizer. Maintaining healthy skin during colder months depends on targeted hydration, barrier repair, and antioxidant protection—all key components of medical-grade skincare.
Why iS Clinical Is Ideal for Winter Skincare in Charlotte
iS Clinical combines pharmaceutical-grade botanicals with clinically validated active ingredients to improve skin health at a functional level. We recommend iS Clinical during the winter months because it:
Provides deep, sustained hydration
Strengthens and supports the skin barrier
Helps calm inflammation and visible redness
Protects against environmental oxidative stress
Improves skin texture and radiance without clogging pores
These formulations are particularly beneficial for patients with sensitive skin, seasonal dryness, or those preparing for or recovering from laser treatments, microneedling, and other aesthetic procedures offered at our Charlotte clinic.
