It’s no secret that the holidays can be stressful, despite the fun and festivity that goes with the season. Whether you’re baking a huge batch of cookies, hitting the mall for a shopping spree or wrapping a huge pile of presents, this time of year requires a lot of extra time and attention. Chances are, you’re going to be busy for the next few weeks, so why not plan a spa day after the parties, caroling and eating? This guide will take you through several perfect post-holiday recovery medical spa treatments that will get you back on track for the new year.
Laser Resurfacing
Give yourself the holiday gift of a laser treatment for rejuvenating your facial skin and erasing the stress of this busy time of year. Whether you want to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines, discoloration or pigmentation, or other skin blemishes that crop up as the result of holiday parties, cookies, cocktails and late nights. Laser treatments are great for smoother, clearer and more radiant skin and we all know how dull the face can look when you’re tired, stressed and not paying attention to your diet.
The treatment works by absorbing light energy to vaporize the water within the skin’s cells, causing skin turnover and exfoliation which blurs a huge number of skin issues. Depending on the intensity of treatment, most patients can return to everyday life within a few days after the procedure, which takes less than 30 minutes to perform. You will likely see results pretty quickly after the treatment. You’ll need to keep your skin well moisturized for the best results.
Dermal Fillers & Anti-Wrinkle Injections
If you want to restore your youthful face as the holidays come to a close and the new year starts, dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections are a great way to make this happen. They work by restoring the volume under your skin, plumping your face and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles by reducing muscle activity . There’s no downtime with a dermal filler or neuromodulator anti-wrinkle procedure and you can usually get back to your daily routine as soon as your procedure is finished. There are several kinds of fillers and neurotoxins available and are corrective treatments that will have you looking fresher and younger as 2024 starts.
When it comes to facial rejuvenation, these options can help you target precisely the areas you want to transform, including the lips, cheeks, crow’s feet, smile lines, forehead, chin and jaw. The type of dermal filler or anti-wrinkle injection you choose depends on the areas you want to target, as well as your skin type, and our medical professionals will help you determine which is the best choice for your needs and aesthetic goals.
Facial Peel
When all of the holiday stress catches up with you, and your skin is looking less than its best, a facial peel is one of the most effective treatments you can choose. Our VI Peel has loads of benefits for a variety of skin conditions that you might be dealing with after the holiday season. Our line of VI peels target many issues that arise from eating unhealthy foods, drinking too much alcohol, and not getting enough sleep.
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Treat acne and acne scars
- Reduce pigmentation and age spots
- Boost collagen production
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
A facial peel is a chemical exfoliant that removes the top layers of the skin, revealing the cleaner, fresher skin beneath. It’s the best gift you can give yourself if skin rejuvenation is your goal in the new year.
RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling is an ideal addition to your post-holiday custom treatment plan and is the ideal way to target the deeper layers of your skin. The procedure works by rapidly piercing the skin with tiny needles which create heat. This causes micro damage to the skin, and during the healing process, collagen production is enhanced, plumping the skin and making it look younger and fresher. The result is brighter skin, blurred wrinkles and improved skin texture. There are some other skin issues that our microneedling procedure can treat.
- Acne
- Oily skin
- Scars
- Fine Lines
- Skin Texture
- Enlarged pores
While microneedling isn’t a super invasive treatment, it does target the deep skin layers, so you will need to be sure you are following aftercare instructions carefully but can return to your regular life activities almost right away. An added benefit of microneedling is that it allows your skin to absorb your skincare products more effectively, which can further provide the facial rejuvenation you’re looking for as the holiday season ends and the new year begins. 4
Body Contouring
Do you want to counteract the excess of food and drink that goes hand in hand with the holiday season? Are you ready to head into the new year with a sleek, svelte silhouette? Your busy holiday schedule probably means eating too many sweets and not enough fruits and vegetables. When combined with the correct diet, body contouring can help you get the slimmed down body you want. Our body contouring treatments could be just what you’re looking for.
Coolsculpting
Coolsculpting works by freezing excess fat cells, which are then absorbed by your body. The result is reduced bulges and a smoother physique. It’s a non-surgical treatment that lets you get back to everyday life pretty quickly. You’ll be in and out of the clinic in less than an hour and won’t have to worry about any pain or downtime.
Emsculpt Neo
Making use of radiofrequency energy, Emsculpt Neo utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic energy to kill fat cells and cause the muscles of the body to contract in a way that is similar to exercise. The result is that your body is able to build muscle more quickly. This isn’t a once-and-done kind of treatment and will likely need to be repeated to achieve the optimal results. You’ll see the most changes if you combine the procedure with a healthy diet and active life choices, such as lifting weights, walking or doing yoga. Choose this for many of your main muscle groups.
