The holidays have a funny way of sneaking up on us, don’t they? One minute it’s still hot outside (hello, SC!), and the next you’re trying to look your best for photos, parties, and family events.
Everyone wants to feel confident and refreshed — not puffy, peeling, or panicking the week before that Christmas or New Year’s party. The trick isn’t last-minute magic. It’s timing.
At Aura, we like to think of it as your holiday skin calendar— a countdown that has your results and confidence peaking right when the cameras start flashing!
🕒 8–10 Weeks Out (Mid-October–Early November):
Reset and Rebuild
This is prime time for heavy-hitting treatments:
- CO₂ or Erbium resurfacing: smooth texture, fade pigment, and tighten and tone
- Add-on: PRP or PDGF for faster recovery and amplified response
- Sculptra or other regenerative injectables: firm, restore volume, and build natural structure
- IPL photofacials: calm redness and clear lingering sun damage
- RF Microneedling: firm, restore volume, fade pigment, and tighten and tone
- Glo2Facial to get that skin hydrated and heading in the right direction
- GLP weight loss treatment for that little extra weight around the middle
🗓️ Why now: Some of these treatments need a little downtime and collagen-building time. You’ll be glowing — the good kind — right as the holiday lights go up.
💉 6 Weeks Out (Early to Mid-November):
Stimulate and Smooth
Now’s the sweet spot for collagen-stimulating treatments that refine texture and tone.
- Microneedling or medium-depth peels: tighten pores, smooth fine lines, and even skin tone
- Add-on: PRP or PDGF for faster recovery and amplified response
- Filler touch-ups: restore soft volume and balance to cheeks, lips, or jawline
🗓️ Why now: You’ll have time to heal and see your best results just as photo season begins.
✨4 Weeks Out (Mid-November):
Tox Time
Botox and Dysport hit their stride around the three-to-four-week mark. Schedule now so you’re perfectly refreshed — not frozen — for the holidays.
🗓️ Why now: You’ll look rested, confident, and camera-ready by mid-December.
🌿 2 Weeks Out (Early December):
Polish and Brighten
Fine-tuning time.
- Tox Touchups if needed
- Glo2Facial, dermaplaning, or light peel to smooth and refresh
- Medical-grade skincare rotation: think Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and gentle retinol (on better thought…start these NOW!)
🗓️ Why now: These add visible refinement and glow with zero downtime.
💧1 Week Out (Mid to Late-December):
Hydrate and Recharge
Your last-minute refresh before the festivities hit full throttle.
- Hydrating Glo2Facials or hyaluronic masks to lock in moisture and boost luminosity
- B12 or Lipo-Lean injections for an instant energy and metabolism lift
🗓️ Why now: You’ll feel vibrant, not frazzled — and your skin will thank you.
Holiday prep shouldn’t feel stressful or rushed. With the right timeline, it’s simply strategic self-care.
