Holiday-Ready Skin: The Top Treatments for a Radiant Glow Before the Festivities
The holiday season is a time for gatherings, photos, and making memories. Naturally, we all want to look and feel our best for these festive occasions. Whether you’re attending parties, hosting events, or simply spending time with loved ones, having radiant, glowing skin can boost your confidence. At Denver Medical Aesthetics, we offer a variety of treatments to help you achieve that perfect holiday glow. Here’s our guide to the top professional and at-home skincare treatments to prepare your skin for the season.
Sciton BBL (Broadband Light Therapy)
This cutting-edge treatment targets pigmentation issues, redness, and uneven skin tone to leave your skin looking clearer and brighter. Sciton BBL is perfect for pre-holiday prep because it works quickly with little downtime. The light-based technology stimulates collagen production, giving your skin a youthful and vibrant appearance in just a few sessions.
Ideal Timeline: Book your BBL session at least 2-3 weeks before the holidays for optimal results.
Hydrafacial
The Hydrafacial is a go-to treatment for instant hydration and glowing skin. This 3-step process cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin while infusing it with nourishing serums tailored to your skin’s needs. It’s a relaxing, no-downtime treatment that leaves your skin dewy and photo-ready.
Why It’s Perfect Before the Holidays: It’s great for a quick pick-me-up, even if your schedule is packed. Book this treatment 1-2 days before your event for a glow that lasts.
VI Peel
This medium-depth chemical peel is a game-changer for addressing dullness, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. It’s formulated to exfoliate and boost cellular turnover, revealing smoother, more radiant skin. The VI Peel is also excellent for targeting stubborn pigmentation, making it ideal for those wanting an even complexion.
Plan Ahead: Allow 7-10 days for full peeling and healing, so schedule this treatment well before your holiday events.
SkinPen Microneedling
Microneedling is a powerhouse treatment for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and enhancing overall skin tone. Using tiny, precise needles, the SkinPen stimulates collagen and elastin production, giving you plumper, smoother skin over time.
Pre-Holiday Prep: This treatment works best with a series, but even one session can deliver noticeable results. Book it 2-3 weeks before the holidays to allow any redness to subside.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Looking for a little extra holiday magic? Botox can smooth fine lines for a more refreshed look, while dermal fillers can add subtle volume to your cheeks and lips. These quick, minimally invasive treatments have minimal downtime, making them perfect for busy holiday schedules.
Pro Tip: Schedule Botox about 2 weeks before your event to ensure it takes full effect, and fillers at least 2-3 weeks ahead for any minor swelling to settle.
At-Home Skincare Tips
Professional treatments are powerful, but your at-home skincare routine is just as important. Here are some steps to maintain your holiday glow:
- Exfoliation
Gentle exfoliation 1-2 times per week helps remove dead skin cells and ensures your skin looks smooth and radiant. Consider products with lactic acid or enzyme-based exfoliants for a glow without irritation. - Hydration Boost
Use a hyaluronic acid serum daily to keep your skin plump and hydrated. Follow with a rich moisturizer to lock in moisture, especially during Denver’s dry winter months. - Brightening Serums
Vitamin C serums are a holiday must-have for enhancing your skin’s radiance and evening out your complexion. Use it every morning under sunscreen. - Sheet Masks
Pamper yourself with a hydrating or brightening sheet mask 1-2 times a week. Look for ingredients like niacinamide, peptides, or aloe vera for extra nourishment.
