The secret to looking your best at every holiday event? Timing. With the right aesthetic plan, you can walk into every holiday gathering glowing, refreshed, and confident — never rushed, never overdone.
8–6 Weeks Before: Laser Resurfacing
This early window is ideal for CO₂, ablative, IPL, or anything that causes peeling or pigment shedding. It allows redness to fade, flaking to complete, pigment shedding to settle, and time for touch-ups if needed.
Perfect for: Sun damage, texture concerns, fine lines, pigmentation irregularities, and full complexion refresh.
6–4 Weeks Before: Microneedling or RF Microneedling
Skin may be pink for a few days, but collagen remodeling continues for weeks — making this timing ideal. Also a great window for non-ablative laser or light treatments including hair removal, gentle fractional treatments, and light pigment correction. These usually heal within 7–10 days, but a month gives excellent wiggle room.
4–3 Weeks Before: Dermal Fillers
The perfect filler window — enough time for bruising to resolve, swelling to subside, the filler to settle beautifully, and a refinement appointment if needed.
3–2 Weeks Before: Botox or Dysport
Botox or Dysport typically take 3–7 days to begin working, with full smoothing at 14 days. This timing also allows a micro-touch-up if needed before your main event.
2–1 Weeks Before: Glow Week
Facials, enzyme peels, dermaplaning, Glo2Facials — this is when you get that ultra-smooth, radiant, holiday-glam glow. Avoid anything too aggressive inside this week.
Final 5 Days: Keep It Light & Hydrating
This is your maintenance window. Stick to sheet masks, hydrating masks, under-eye patches, gentle exfoliation, and extra moisturizers. Absolutely no new products, no acids, no retinoids.
