Get Your Skin Ready for Christmas: Start Early for a Holiday Glow
With Christmas fast approaching, now is the perfect time to start planning for a holiday-ready look. If you’re aiming for radiant, refreshed skin by the festive season, it’s essential to start your treatments early. Whether you’re interested in Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments, or HydraFacial, each service has its optimal timeline to ensure you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Planning ahead ensures you’re looking and feeling your absolute best by Christmas Day.
In this guide, we break down each treatment option and when to book them for flawless, camera-ready skin during the holiday season.
Injectables and Fillers: Timing is Everything
1. Dermal Fillers and Skin Boosters:
These treatments need time to settle for the best, most natural results. We recommend having your dermal fillers or skin boosters at least four weeks before Christmas for solid results, though six weeks is ideal for absolutely zero downtime near the holidays. This way, any minor side effects like swelling or bruising will be fully resolved, leaving you with plumped, rejuvenated skin ready to glow.
2. Botox:
Botox requires a little planning as well. For a flawless finish, it’s best to have Botox around four weeks before Christmas. This timing allows it to take full effect, which can take up to two weeks, and gives you a buffer if any touch-ups are needed. Starting early ensures that your skin will be smooth, natural, and event-ready by the time Christmas celebrations roll around.
Laser Treatments: For Long-Lasting Glow and Clarity
Laser treatments are ideal for those seeking to even out skin tone, reduce fine lines, and achieve a brighter complexion. Since lasers show the best results when done in a series of sessions, it’s wise to begin your laser treatments as soon as possible. For optimal glow, schedule your final laser session around two weeks before Christmas to enjoy the results with no downtime.
Consider a package of laser sessions spaced four weeks apart to achieve your skincare goals before the festivities begin.
HydraFacial: The Essential Pre-Holiday Glow
HydraFacials are a quick, non-invasive way to hydrate and brighten the skin. For best results, we recommend a course of three sessions, with each session spaced apart, leading up to the holiday season. While a HydraFacial can give you a glowing complexion even a week before an event, giving your skin a b with consistent sessions will yield stunning, long-lasting results.
Microneedling and Chemical Peels: Start Early for the Best Skin Renewal
1. Microneedling:
Microneedling can create redness and temporary dryness as the skin renews itself, so we advise scheduling this treatment four weeks before Christmas to allow for full healing and reveal rejuvenated skin.
2. Chemical Peels:
Chemical peels offer dramatic resurfacing effects, but they also need time for recovery, ideally done about four weeks before the holidays. This allows your skin to shed old layers, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion just in time for Christmas.
Quick Refreshers: Laser Genesis, HIFU and Dermalux Light Therapy
For those looking for a last-minute glow, Laser Genesis is an excellent choice and can be done a week before an event with no downtime. Similarly, Dermalux Light Therapy can boost your radiance even a couple of days before Christmas, leaving you with a beautiful, healthy-looking complexion. While these treatments are gentle, multiple sessions are ideal to build up lasting results, so plan at least three sessions leading up to the holiday season.
HIFU is a great treatment with no downtime and instant results even though 3 sessions are advised for best results
