Your Holiday Treatment Timeline: When to Book for Glowing Results
The holidays sneak up quickly—and so do all the parties, photos, and family gatherings. The secret to looking refreshed and confident in every moment is timing. Treatments work best when they’re planned out in advance, giving your skin and features time to settle, heal, and glow.
Here’s your holiday readiness roadmap starting in September to get you looking and feeling your absolute best by Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
September: The Foundation Month
As summer fades, September is the perfect time to start treatments that take time to show full results.
- Biostimulatory Fillers (Sculptra®, Radiesse® Hyperdilute): These collagen-stimulating treatments need several weeks to build results, so starting now means firmer, smoother skin by the holidays.
- Full-Face Balancing with Filler: Cheeks, jawline, or under-eye filler should be planned early to allow for settling, healing, and any touch-ups.
- Microneedling with PRF: Boost collagen and refine skin texture—by November you’ll be glowing in photos.
- Skincare Reset: Begin medical-grade regimens (like SkinBetter® or Lumielle’s Liquid Glass Exfoliant) so your skin has time to transform before the big events.
October: The Refinement Month
Now’s the time to layer in treatments that need 3–4 weeks to shine.
- Neuromodulating Treatment: Treat lines and wrinkles early with Botox, Dysport, or Daxxify so results are smooth and natural by Thanksgiving.
- Chemical Peels: Perfect for polishing skin and evening tone. Do them now so you’re radiant without peeling during the holidays.
- Lip Filler (First-Time or Enhance Volume): If you want holiday-ready lips, October is ideal—gives time for swelling to settle and results to look soft and natural.
November: The Perfecting Month
Focus on touch-ups and quick-turnaround treatments just before the holiday rush.
- Tox Top-Ups: For patients who treated early in fall, a November refresh keeps you smooth through New Year’s.
- Mini Filler / Lip Hydration: Subtle boosts for lips or fine lines—plan 2–3 weeks before Christmas parties.
- Microneedling Maintenance: If you started in September, a follow-up in November ensures glowing, tightened skin.
- Brightening Facials & Light Peels: These prep your skin for family photos and gatherings.
December: The Glow Month
This is when last-minute details matter most. Stick to treatments with little to no downtime.
- Baby Botox / Lip Flip: Subtle tweaks that show results in just days.
- Oxygen or Hydrating Facials: Instant radiance before big events.
- Medical-Grade Skincare Boosts: Use brightening serums and hydrating masks to keep your glow through every celebration.
