Winter can be a little rude to our skin.
One minute everything feels fairly balanced, and the next your skin feels dry, dull, sensitive or just not quite like itself. Makeup doesn’t sit the same, your complexion looks tired, fine lines seem more noticeable, and no amount of moisturiser seems to be making a difference.
While many people respond by reaching for a richer moisturiser or changing their skincare routine, not all winter skin concerns are the same. For some, the focus is restoring hydration and nourishment. For others, it’s supporting skin vitality, texture or overall skin quality.
That’s why the team at Vintage Aesthetics takes a personalised approach to winter skin.
Located in Gymea, Vintage Aesthetics is a boutique nurse-led skin and aesthetic clinic founded by experienced aesthetic nurse Caz Peterson. For more than six years, the clinic has helped clients feel informed, supported and confident through personalised care, education and tailored treatment planning.
Today, that philosophy is carried through by the entire team, including nurses Karissa and Krystal, who continue to practise in Emergency and Surgical Nursing respectively. Together, they combine strong clinical foundations with a commitment to helping clients make informed decisions about their skin.
Because winter skin concerns vary from person to person, every Winter Skin Reset begins with a professional consultation to understand each client’s goals and recommend the most appropriate treatment pathway.

Vintage Aesthetics’ top treatments for winter skin
Skin Needling: The Foundation Treatment
Skin Needling is the foundation of the Winter Skin Reset and is commonly selected to support overall skin quality, texture and appearance. It can be a great starting point for clients wanting to refresh their skin during the cooler months.
Skin Needling + NCTF: The Skin Nourishment & Hydration Pathway
When the focus is on nourishing the skin, supporting hydration and restoring radiance, NCTF may be incorporated alongside Skin Needling as part of a personalised treatment plan.
Combining Hyaluronic Acid with vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and minerals, NCTF is often described as “fertiliser for the skin”. It is commonly selected by clients experiencing dehydration, dullness or skin that simply isn’t looking as healthy and vibrant as it normally does.
BYRYZN Opuluxe V + Skin Needling: The Premium Skin Revitalisation Pathway
For clients seeking a more comprehensive skin revitalisation experience, the team may recommend BYRYZN Opuluxe V alongside Skin Needling.
Inspired by advanced Korean skin science, BYRYZN combines ingredients including PLLA, PDRN, Glutathione, Hyaluronic Acid, amino acids and vitamins to support hydration, radiance and overall skin vitality.
Many people may have heard of the growing interest in salmon DNA treatments. BYRYZN incorporates trout-derived PDRN as part of its advanced formulation. This premium pathway is commonly selected by clients seeking a more comprehensive approach to supporting skin vitality, radiance and overall skin quality.
At Vintage Aesthetics, the goal isn’t simply to recommend a treatment. It’s to provide the education, information and guidance people need to make confident decisions about their skin. Because when it comes to skin health, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
