Between shopping for gifts, planning gatherings, and coordinating travel, every day between now and Christmas seems to overflow with holiday responsibilities. With so much on your plate, it’s no surprise that self-care often takes a backseat. It’s important to remember that the holidays are a time for giving, which means giving yourself a little love, too!

This holiday season, treat yourself to luxurious in-office skincare treatments that refresh your complexion and renew your glow, all without derailing your busy schedule. In just a single visit, you can walk away feeling renewed and ready to take on the festivities ahead.

Hydrafacial MD: Cleanse, Hydrate, and Protect in 30 Minutes

When time is tight, and your skin needs help fast, HydraFacial MD cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with hydrating serums rich in antioxidants and peptides—all in just 30 minutes. The treatment begins with gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin. Next, a painless suction system clears clogged pores, eliminating debris that can lead to dullness and congestion. The final step replenishes and nourishes your skin with customized serums to keep your moisture barrier strong against the cold, dry winter weather. To really boost your glow-up, we recommend starting your  HydraFacial MD with dermaplaning.

With no downtime and instant results, the HydraFacial MD is the perfect way to give your skin that holiday glow no matter how busy your day.

Light Chemical Peels: A Gentle Refresh for Winter-Weary Skin

Winter is the perfect time to indulge in a light chemical peel, which works by gently dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface. Once those bonds are broken, your body’s natural cell turnover process sheds the skin’s dull outer layer, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion underneath. And, because light peels are less intensive than medium or deep options, there’s no need to worry about extended downtime that might interfere with holiday plans.

For colder months, chat with your dermatologist about options like a gentle lactic acid peel, an alpha-hydroxy acid that attracts moisture to the skin’s surface while exfoliating away uneven tone and dullness. If you have sensitive skin, mandelic acid—which is derived from almonds—penetrates the skin more slowly to avoid adverse reactions. It also promotes healthy cell turnover for a naturally radiant complexion.

Increase your skins smoothness and radiance by beginning with dermaplaning.

After a chemical peel it’s best to use a gentle cleanser and a rich moisturizer for a couple days. NeoStrata RESTORE Facial Cleanser 4% PHA or REVISION SKINCARE Gentle Foaming Cleanser  gently and effectively remove make-up and impurities without irritation with their soap-free formulas.

Dermaplaning: For a Makeup-Ready Canvas

If you’re looking for an easy way to refresh your complexion, dermaplaning is a must-try holiday treatment. During this gentle exfoliation treatment, your provider uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to sweep away dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz, leaving your face incredibly smooth and soft. The result is a polished, glowing complexion perfect for going bare-faced with confidence or flawless makeup application.

Dermaplaning also helps your favorite skincare products work harder, removing the barrier of dead cells and hair that typically stop products from sinking in past the surface. So, not only do you get instant results with zero downtime, but your skin gets the long-term benefits of better moisture and nutrient absorption.

Botox® or Xeomin®: Relax Worry Lines and Wrinkles

The holidays can be hectic, and the stress often appears on our faces. Injectables like Botox® and Xeomin® work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause creases, also known as dynamic wrinkles, like crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines. . Once injected, these neurotoxin injections binds to the nerve endings in your muscles, effectively pausing the signals that cause muscle contractions.

The treatment involves a series of precise injections with a very fine needle. While the thought of needles might sound intimidating, the process only takes 15 to 20 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. You’ll start to notice results within a few days as the muscles gradually begin to relax. It’s the perfect alternative to surgical solutions, and when handled by an experienced provider like Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Institute, it won’t leave you looking overdone.

Enhance your neuromodulator treatment with REVISION SKINCARE® Revox™ Line Relaxer serum with patent-pending LineRelax™ technology that helps relax muscle contractions by reducing the release of Acetylcholine in the skin, which also visibly reduces pore size. RLR serum reduces the appearance of expression lines and under-eye lines while improving your skin’s radiance, texture and overall appearance by stimulating natural collagen production and enhancing skin’s dermal support structure.

Dermal Fillers: Soft, Subtle Volume

Winter dryness can leave our skin looking dull and even a little hollow in places like the cheeks or around the mouth. Dermal filler treatments restore youthful volume and enhance your natural contours with hyaluronic acid, a substance your body naturally makes to keep skin hydrated and plump.
