Our Guide to Radiant Skin After Winter

Looking to give your skin the ultimate spring glow-up? We use evidence-based tools and treatments at Longév and have many different solutions that can be tailored to your individual concerns.

Spring is nature’s invitation to refresh, renew, and glow. After a long winter of dry air, heavier foods, and limited sunlight, it’s no wonder our skin can feel dull, tired, and dehydrated. At Longév Clinic, we take a root-cause approach to skin health, blending advanced natural treatments with whole-body naturopathic care. The goal? Radiant, clear, and resilient skin—from the inside out.

1. Hydrate Deeply—Internally and Externally

Your skin’s glow depends on optimal hydration, yet winter often leaves us depleted.

Our Solutions:

• Naturopathic IV nutrient therapy for deep cellular hydration and replenishment of skin-loving vitamins and minerals.
• Offering dietary strategies to support hydration and electrolyte balance – plenty of hydration with water and herbal teas and some tips on how to use food as hydration as well. 
• Light, hydrating topicals recommended by our naturopathic skincare team.

2. Detox Pathways for Clearer Skin

A sluggish liver, slow lymphatic system, or digestive imbalance can result in congestion showing up on the skin.

Our Solutions:

• Naturopathic detox protocols with liver-supportive herbs and food guidance. Read more tips here to implement a skin healthy diet.
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy to assist natural detox and reduce puffiness.
• Acupuncture to support liver and skin meridians for better circulation and glow.
  

3. Heal the Gut–Skin Connection

A healthy gut equals healthy skin. We address inflammation, food sensitivities, and microbiome imbalances to clear up skin from within.

Our Solutions:

• Functional lab testing and tailored nutrition programs.
• Probiotics, omega-3s, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protocols personalized by our Naturopathic Doctors.
• Digestive support with osteopathy, chiropractic care and massage therapy to enhance vagal tone and nervous system balance. Read more about how Naturopathic Doctors can help your skin here.
  

4. Revitalize with Medical-Grade Skin Therapies

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skincare regimen and introduce results-driven, non-invasive treatments. At Longév we have some amazing treatments to help with your skin:

Elapromed Facials

Advanced European facial system using transdermalporation technology to infuse high-potency botanical stem cells deep into the skin—without needles or downtime.

• Targets dryness, pigmentation, and dull tone.
• Ideal post-winter rejuvenation with zero recovery time.

Facial Acupuncture (Cosmetic Acupuncture)

A natural alternative to injectables, this treatment stimulates collagen production, improves tone, and reduces fine lines by inserting ultra-fine needles in facial and body points. Learn more here.

• Enhances circulation and lymph flow.
• Supports internal balance and visible skin transformation.
• Natural alternative to botox injections (or used in conjuction with botox and fillers)
  

Celluma Light Therapy

Clinically proven LED light therapy to reduce acne, calm inflammation, and stimulate collagen. Read more about LED light therapy here.

• Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria.
• Red and near-infrared light reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, and accelerate healing.
• A relaxing, pain-free complement to our facials or acupuncture treatments, this is also an available add on during some massage therapy appointments.
  

5. Boost Lymphatic Flow for Radiance

A stagnant lymphatic system contributes to puffiness, breakouts, and dullness.

Our Solutions:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy by our trained practitioners to gently flush toxins and revitalize skin. Learn more about our Functional Lymphatics Program here.
• At-home dry brushing and gua sha movement practices taught by our team.
• We also offer a specialized Lymphatic Drainage Facial combining the Microcurrent Elapromed Treatment if a focus on lymphatic drainage and facial all in one is preferred.

6. Sleep Deeply & Stress Less

Poor sleep and high stress increase inflammation and break down collagen. Read more about the Skin and Stress connection here. 

Our Solutions for stress and sleep:

• Acupuncture and herbal medicine to improve sleep quality and regulate cortisol.
• Osteopathic and chiropractic care to optimize nervous system function.
• Facial acupuncture also supports hormone regulation while visibly lifting and tightening the skin.
