The months and weeks leading up to the end-of-the-year holiday season are filled with fall festivities, photo opportunities, and family gatherings that sprinkle our lives with delight yet fill our schedules with pressure. Cleaning, decorating, and buying gifts become a priority, and suddenly, the thought of seeing long-lost relatives and posing for pictures adds “look your best” to the long to-do list. As you count down to the holidays, consider our top 3 pre-holiday procedures that will quickly and effectively help you reach your goals.
Eliminate Wrinkles
One of the easiest, fastest ways to look your best for the holidays is with facial fillers like JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC. This dermal filler is injected into specific areas of the face to fill fine lines, wrinkles, and hollows that typically add years to your appearance. This “lunch-hour” injectable filler will reveal results in as few as 15 minutes, and there is no associated downtime. Patients can have this procedure done the day of their event and look completely well-rested and youthful; however, it is recommended that patients undergo treatment at least a week prior to an event to ensure that any potential redness or swelling has time to resolve.
Banish Your “Double Chin”
Extra fat beneath your chin and in the neck area can make you appear heavier or older than you actually are. KYBELLA® is a non-invasive injectable product made specifically to melt away a “double chin.” Depending on the results you desire, available time, and the amount of fat you have to lose, up to 6 monthly treatments may be performed. With minimal downtime, patients can easily experience the benefits of a couple of treatments before a big holiday event.
Completely Refresh Your Skin
You can improve the actual tone and texture of your skin with resurfacing treatments or broad band light (BBL™) depending on how dramatic you would like your results and how long you are willing to recover. Treatments that are more mild, like dermabrasion, will have a recovery time of just a couple of days (due to the sunburned appearance of the skin), but the results will not be as significant as those of a stronger treatment like BBL™ that has a longer downtime of a few days to one week. Treatments can also be broken down into a few mild sessions that will provide excellent results over several weeks without the one-time longer recovery period of a single, strong treatment.
To look and feel your best this holiday season, call don’t wait to schedule your consultation with our injection nurse Janet DeWitt, RN or one of our qualified Medical Aestheticians. Please call (775) 828-7400 or fill out our online contact form at your convenience.
