Your Holiday Glow Timeline: When to Book Treatments Before the Parties Start

Every year we hear the same thing in December: "I wish I had come in sooner." Most treatments look their best a week or more after your visit, not the same afternoon. If you have a party, a family photo or a trip home on the calendar, a little planning makes all the difference.

8 to 10 weeks out: start a skin series

Treatments that rebuild collagen work over a series of visits, so they need the most lead time.

• Microneedling: usually a series of sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Starting now means you can fit in two or three before the end of the year.
• Sculptra: results build gradually over a few months as your body makes new collagen. It is the treatment to start early, not the week before.

4 to 6 weeks out: resurfacing

• CoolPeel CO2 laser: softens sun spots, fine lines and rough texture. Give your skin a few weeks to settle so it looks smooth and even, not freshly treated.
• PRX Plus: needle free and with no visible peeling, so it is flexible. Booking a few weeks out still lets you add a second session if you like the results.

2 to 4 weeks out: injectables

• Neurotoxins (Dysport and Jeuveau): many clients see a change in a day or two, and full results arrive by about two weeks. Two to four weeks before your event is the sweet spot.
• Dermal fillers: results are visible right away, but mild swelling or bruising can take up to two weeks to fade. Do not leave fillers until the last minute.

The week of your event

• Facials: a hydrating facial a few days before is the easy final step for a fresh, rested look.
• Lashes and brows: a lift or tint a few days ahead means one less thing to do on the day.
• IV therapy: a hydration drip before a busy stretch of travel and late nights helps you feel your best.
