It is important to plan your treatments ahead of time so you can step into the festive season glowing. From Botox to microneedling, getting your timing right is key to achieving flawless results.
Why Timing Matters?
The weeks leading up to Christmas are often hectic at OC. It’s essential to plan your treatments in advance. Many skin and aesthetic treatments require time for healing and for optimal results to fully develop. If you want to avoid last-minute stress and achieve the best outcome, scheduling your treatments early is crucial.
Here’s a breakdown of when to book your favorite treatments to ensure you’re glowing before the christmas festivities.
Botox and Fillers
If you’re looking to soften fine lines and wrinkles or enhance your facial contours with dermal fillers, plan ahead! Botox treatments need around two weeks to show their full effect, and fillers may require time for any minor swelling or bruising to subside. Booking your appointment two to three weeks before Christmas ensures you’ll have a smooth and youthful appearance by the time the festivities begin.
CACI Facials
For a non-invasive lift our CACI facials are a great pre-Christmas treatment. This procedure enhances facial muscle tone and stimulates collagen production, giving your skin a firmer, more youthful appearance. You can book a CACI red carpet facial even one week before a big event for an instant refresh, but for longer-lasting effects, a course of treatments starting a few weeks in advance is ideal.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU is a fantastic option if you’re seeking a lifting an firming results. However, the effects of HIFU take time to fully manifest as it works deep within the skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten the tissue. To get the best results by Christmas, schedule your HIFU treatment now to allow time for the lifting and firming results to take effect.
Micro needling
Microneedling is a powerful treatment for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and boosting collagen. While microneedling offers incredible results, it does require some downtime. Your skin may be red or slightly irritated for a few days following the procedure. To ensure your skin has time to heal and glow in time for Christmas, aim to have your microneedling session at least two weeks before any major events.
Laser Hair Removal
December is the perfect time to start your laser hair removal journey. Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results, and spacing them out over several weeks will ensure the treated area is smooth and hair-free just in time for the warmer months. If you begin now, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying silky-smooth skin for next summer, and you can enjoy the benefits of hair-free skin over the summer.
Permanent Makeup
For long-lasting, flawless brows, eyeliner, or lips, permanent makeup is a popular option that reduces the need for daily makeup application. However, it requires some healing time, as initial swelling and scabbing are normal. To ensure you’re fully healed and ready for the festivities, book your permanent makeup appointment now will ensure you get your top up appointment booked beore christmas.
Skin Boosters
For a deep, hydrating glow that lasts throughout the festive season, Seventy Hyal are the perfect option.
