Your 4 Week Christmas Countdown: The Best Aesthetic Treatments to Book Before the Holidays

December always arrives faster than expected. One minute you are finishing autumn deadlines, and the next you are surrounded by invitations, events, Christmas lunches and family gatherings. With so many social moments ahead, now is the perfect time to plan your December treatment timeline.

To help you prepare properly, here is a structured 4-3-2-1 week aesthetic countdown. Each stage focuses on the treatments that deliver the greatest benefit when performed at the right time, ensuring your skin settles beautifully and reaches its peak by Christmas week.

This guide covers the essential glow boosters, skin enhancers, anti-wrinkle treatments and lifting solutions you should consider if you want to look fresh, bright and camera ready without any downtime disrupting your festive plans.

4 Weeks Before Christmas: Kickstart Skin Quality and Regeneration

Four weeks out is the ideal time to begin treatments that build results gradually. These treatments work beneath the surface to enhance collagen, elasticity, hydration and radiance. They need time to evolve, which makes this the perfect moment to start.

1. Profhilo for Deep Hydration and a Dewy Glow

Profhilo is a powerful hyaluronic acid treatment that spreads beneath the skin to hydrate, plump and improve elasticity. Over the next few weeks, the skin becomes smoother, firmer and noticeably more luminous.

Why do it now:

• Results peak at 3 to 4 weeks
• Ideal for dull or tired skin
• Creates a hydrated base for makeup during party season

2. Polynucleotides for Skin Repair and Under Eye Brightening

Polynucleotides stimulate regeneration at a cellular level. Whether used under the eyes or across the full face, they improve texture, smoothness and overall skin quality.

Why do it now:

• They need time for collagen and elastin activity
• Ideal for crepey skin and early fine lines
• Benefits improve week by week

3. UltraClear 3D Miracle Laser for Gentle Resurfacing

UltraClear delivers soft resurfacing that helps refine texture, even tone and brighten the complexion.

Why do it now:

• Mild redness settles quickly
• Skin continues to improve over 2 to 4 weeks
• Ideal for fine lines and uneven texture

4. SkinVive for Lip Hydration

Starting SkinVive now is perfect if your lips are dry, dehydrated or showing early lines.

Why do it now:

• Hydration develops over several weeks
• Creates a smooth, glossy finish for December
• Subtle enhancement without adding volume

3 Weeks Before Christmas: Focus on Structure, Eyes and Lift

Three weeks out is ideal for treatments that offer visible improvement but still need some time to fully settle.

1. Revitalise Threads for Eyes or Neck

Revitalise threads offer structural support without adding any volume. They lift, tighten and smooth the eye or neck area.

Ideal for:

• Eye creasing
• Mild sagging or laxity
• Softening neck lines

Why now:

• Threads settle over 2 to 3 weeks
• Collagen stimulation builds
• Results look natural by Christmas

2. Polynucleotide Top Up

If you began polynucleotides last week, a top up now significantly boosts the regenerative effect.

Why now:

• Layering improves elasticity and glow
• Benefits continue to develop into January

2 Weeks Before Christmas: Smooth Lines and Prepare for Events

Two weeks before Christmas is the moment to refine expression lines and brighten the complexion ahead of all the upcoming gatherings and photos.

1. Anti Wrinkle Injections

Anti wrinkle treatments soften forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. Results take several days to appear and around two weeks to peak.

Why two weeks before:

• Results settle gradually and naturally
• Allows time for a review if needed
• You look smooth and refreshed for every event

2. HydraFacial for Immediate Brightness

HydraFacial deeply cleans, exfoliates and hydrates the skin, creating instant glow.

Why now:

• Pores look refined
• Skin appears clearer and smoother
• Makeup applies beautifully
• Zero downtime

3. SkinVive for Festive Hydrated Lips

If you did not start SkinVive earlier, this is a perfect window.

Why now:

• Lips look smooth, soft and hydrated
• Ideal for cold-weather dryness
• Perfect timing for Christmas photos

1 Week Before Christmas: Final Glow with Zero Downtime

With only one week to go, this stage is all about high-impact, no downtime finishing touches.

1. HydraFacial Top Up

A second HydraFacial can give a final polish if you want maximum radiance for the week ahead.

Benefits:

• Instant brightness
• Smooth texture
• Perfect for Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve

2. Gentle UltraClear Refresh

A low-intensity laser session can brighten the skin and refine texture, giving a fresh, glass-like finish.

3. Final Lip or Skin Hydration

Ideal for combatting winter dryness and making sure everything looks smooth, healthy and photo ready.
