The holiday season is all about festive parties, family gatherings, and lots of photos. While you’re busy prepping your outfits and plans, it’s essential not to overlook your skin. After all, a radiant complexion is the best accessory for any event. Here are the top laser treatments that will leave your skin looking refreshed and glowing just in time for the holiday festivities.
ResurFX™ for Skin Resurfacing
ResurFX™ is an innovative non-ablative laser treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. It stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and even acne scars while improving overall skin texture.
- How it Works: The treatment uses fractional laser technology to target small areas of skin, promoting natural healing and collagen production. Since it is non-ablative, it doesn’t remove the outer layer of skin, making recovery time quicker compared to other resurfacing lasers.
- Best for: Fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and mild wrinkles.
- Downtime: You may experience some redness and mild swelling, but most patients can resume normal activities the next day.
- Number of Treatments Needed: We recommend a series of three to five treatments to produce the best results.
Why It’s Perfect for the Holidays: Schedule it a few weeks before your holiday events, and your skin will be glowing and refreshed by the time you step into that holiday party.
For a Brighter Complexion: IPL Fotofacial
If you’re looking for a laser treatment that can address multiple skin concerns at once, IPL fotofacial is an excellent option. It uses broad-spectrum light to treat a variety of skin concerns, all while improving the overall texture of your skin.
- How it Works: IPL delivers pulses of light that penetrate the skin, targeting pigmented areas without damaging the surrounding tissue. The light energy is absorbed by the darker spots, which then flake off over the next week, revealing clearer skin.
- Best for: Sun damage and spots, age spots, freckles, redness, and broken capillaries.
- Downtime: You can expect to see some redness, swelling, and sensitivity for up to 48 hours after treatment.
- Number of Treatments Needed: This will depend on your skin and desired results. The recommended number of treatments is usually 3–6, spaced 4 weeks apart.
Why It’s Perfect for the Holidays: With its ability to treat multiple concerns, IPL is the go-to treatment for anyone looking to refresh their skin before holiday parties and family photos. You’ll notice brighter, more even skin in as little as a week.
For Skin Irregularities: Lamprobe
If you have minor skin irregularities such as skin tags, clogged pores, milia, cherry angiomas, or other small blemishes you’d like to address before the holiday season, Lamprobe is a quick and effective solution. This non-invasive treatment uses radio frequency energy to treat superficial skin issues with minimal discomfort.
- How it works: Lamprobe targets minor skin imperfections using heat energy, instantly removing or reducing them in just one session. Results are often immediate, making it a popular choice for those short on time.
- Downtime: Minimal to none, though some patients may experience slight redness or scabbing in the treated area. Plan ahead and give yourself a full week before your big holiday event.
- Number of Treatments Needed: This varies based on your skin concern and the size of the area. We’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your aesthetic goals.
Why It’s Perfect for the Holidays: Lamprobe treatments provide fast, visible results, making it a great option if you’re looking for a last-minute skin touch-up before a holiday event.
For Flawless Legs: Spider Vein Treatments
Spider veins—those small, dilated blood vessels near the skin’s surface—can frustrate many people. If you want to wear holiday dresses or skirts without feeling self-conscious about your legs, laser spider vein treatments can help reduce or eliminate these unsightly veins.
- How it Works: The treatment uses focused light to heat and collapse the spider veins, causing them to fade and eventually disappear over time. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the severity.
- Best for: Spider veins on the legs, face, or other visible areas.
- Downtime: You may experience slight redness or bruising at the treatment site, but most patients can return to normal activities right away.
- Number of Treatments Needed: Several treatments may be required over six-week intervals for the best results, depending on the vein(s) being treated.
Why It’s Perfect for the Holidays: Get your spider veins treated now, and by the time the holiday parties start, your legs will be smooth, clear, and ready to show off.
For Silky Smooth Skin: Laser Hair Reduction
The holidays are full of special occasions where you want to feel your absolute best, and laser hair reduction can help with that. Say goodbye to razors and wax and hello to smooth, hair-free skin all season long and maybe longer.
- How it Works: Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles, preventing them from producing hair in the future. Multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve long-term results.
- Best for: Unwanted hair on the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.
- Downtime: There’s no downtime with laser hair removal, although some people may experience slight redness or swelling over the next day or two.
- Number of Treatments Needed: 6 to 8 treatments are recommended for optimal results.
Why It’s Perfect for the Holidays: You’ll be holiday-party ready in no time, with no need to worry about shaving or waxing. Start your treatments now for smooth skin by the time New Year’s Eve rolls around.
