Christmas 2024 is just around the corner, and in the run-up to the festive season, many of us will find we are busier than ever, planning for parties and buying presents in the lead up to Christmas day. It is easy to get caught up in the festive events and forget to focus on ourselves to make sure we get the ‘me time’ we deserve.
At FACEMED, we often take calls from patients during the Christmas season who have forgotten to book in for their injectables or skincare appointments, desperate to get a last-minute treatment. Of course, we will always try to accommodate last-minute patient appointments if we have the capacity to do so, but it is always a good idea to get your Christmas aesthetic treatments booked in advance and in good time before the party’s start!
Aesthetic treatments like botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, polynucleotides and biostimulators improve over time. Booking appointments early in the run-up to Christmas will allow you to not only be treated but also ensure you look and feel good for all the festive celebrations.
Dermal Filler Christmas Appointments
If you are planning on having a dermal filler treatment before Christmas it is a good idea to make sure you leave enough time for the treatment to settle. You will notice instant results from your dermal filler treatment, but it will look even better around two weeks after your treatment. This is because the hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers attracts water and makes your skin look more hydrated.
Christmas Anti-Wrinkle Appointments
We can only administer botulinum toxin anti-wrinkle injections 12 weeks after your last treatment, so it may be the case that you might not need an appointment yet before the New Year. If you haven’t had an anti-wrinkle appointment in over 12 weeks, or if you are nearing the time when your next appointment is due, it’s time to start thinking about making an appointment. Remember, you won’t see the full results of your botulinum toxin treatment for two weeks post treatment so booking in November will give you the results you would like for the festive season.
Hydrafacial Christmas Appointments
For patients who want to have a beautiful glow this Christmas, Hydrafacial is a skin treatment that will not only make your skin look rejuvenated and hydrated for Christmas, but will also give you a chance to wind down and relax in the midst of all of your Christmas planning.
Hydrafacial treatment addresses common skincare concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone, brown spots, congested skin and open pores. Unlike injectable treatments, Hydrafacials can be booked all the way up to Christmas and it’s a lovely, relaxing way to improve how your skin feels.
