Get Christmas-Ready: When to Book Your Aesthetic Treatments for the Best Results 🎄✨

The countdown to Christmas has begun, and now is the time to start planning your treatments to ensure you’re glowing for the festive season! Whether you're preparing for parties, family gatherings, or just want to look and feel your best, timing is key. Different treatments need different recovery periods, and here’s why you should book early to get the best results an to be Christmas-ready.

1. Anti-Wrinkle Treatments (Botox)

When to Book: 4-6 Weeks Before Christmas

Why: Anti-wrinkle treatments, such as Botox, take about 10-14 days to fully settle in, so planning ahead is essential to ensure you’ll have the smooth, refreshed look you want by the time Christmas arrives. Additionally, if a top-up is needed, you'll have the time to get it done and see the full effect before your celebrations. Waiting until the last minute may

mean the results won’t be as refined in time.

2. Dermal Fillers

When to Book: 3-4 Weeks Before Christmas

Why: Fillers work wonders for contouring and adding volume, but swelling and bruising are common side effects that may take up to 2 weeks to settle. To ensure your skin looks naturally plump and beautifully enhanced for Christmas, booking at least 3 weeks in advance is recommended. You’ll also need a little time for the filler to integrate with your tissue for a natural, balanced result.

3. Lip Enhancements

When to Book: 3-4 Weeks Before Christmas

Why: Lip filler treatments can cause swelling and bruising for up to two weeks. If you’re hoping for that perfect festive pout under the mistletoe, plan ahead! The initial swelling will subside within the first week, but results will continue to settle over the course of 2-3 weeks, leaving you with soft, naturally enhanced lips by the time the holidays arrive.

4. Chemical Peels

When to Book: 4-6 Weeks Before Christmas

Why: Chemical peels offer significant skin rejuvenation, but deeper peels require time for your skin to heal and for results to become visible. After medium-depth peels, you might experience redness, peeling, and some downtime for 2-3 weeks. Booking your peel 4-6 weeks before Christmas ensures your skin will have plenty of time to recover, leaving you with a glowing, radiant complexion just in time for your festive events.

5. Microneedling

When to Book: 3-4 Weeks Before Christmas

Why: Microneedling is great for boosting collagen, but it takes a few days for redness to subside and around 2-3 weeks for the full results to become visible. You want to give your skin plenty of time to heal and regenerate so that it looks firmer, smoother, and more youthful when Christmas rolls around.

6. Dermaplaning

When to Book: 1-2 Weeks Before Christmas

Why: Dermaplaning gives you instant results by removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, leaving your skin soft and smooth. It’s perfect for giving your complexion a glow before any event, and there's no downtime. To get your skin silky smooth and prepped for makeup, plan to have this done just 1-2 weeks before your big holiday events.

7. Facials

When to Book: 1-2 Weeks Before Christmas.

Why: Facials refresh, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin, giving you a radiant complexion. Most facials don’t require downtime, so they’re perfect to schedule closer to the holidays. A good facial about a week before Christmas will ensure your skin is dewy and glowing just in time for your festive gatherings.
