There’s something about the holidays that makes everyone want to look — and feel — their best. Between parties, photos, and the chaos of year-end events, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget about yourself. At Emerald Aesthetics and Wellness, we believe your confidence should shine just as bright as the holiday lights — and the best way to make that happen is by planning ahead.

Instead of rushing for a last-minute glow-up, we’ve mapped out the perfect timeline for holiday treatments so your skin, body, and energy all peak right when it matters most.

4–6 Weeks Before the Holidays: Build Your Foundation

Now’s the time to tackle treatments that need a little time to settle or reveal results.

1. Botox or Dysport: These neurotoxins smooth fine lines and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming, but their full effect shows up after about two weeks — meaning a late-November appointment leaves you flawless by Christmas photos.

1. Laser Treatments (BBL or MOXI): Whether you’re treating pigmentation, redness, or just dull skin, these lasers rejuvenate from the inside out. We will schedule this treatment at least two weeks prior to any big event. Starting early gives your skin time to calm and reveal that holiday-ready radiance.

1. Neo Lift Facial: One of our most-loved non-invasive treatments, the Neo Lift combines tightening, toning, and deep skin rejuvenation — giving you that “lit from within” glow before the festivities begin.

Pair any of these with Lexi and Leigha’s hydrating gel mask or a customized facial plan for best results.

2–3 Weeks Before: Define & Refine

This is when your glow plan turns into art.

1. Dermaplaning + Hydrafacial: The combo of exfoliation and hydration gives you instantly smooth, luminous skin — the perfect pre-party prep.

1. Filler (Lips, Cheeks, Chin): Audrey’s natural approach means no “frozen” or overdone results — just soft volume and balanced proportions that look incredible under soft holiday lighting (and even better in selfies).

1. Microneedling (SkinPen): For those chasing refined texture or light scarring repair, book this now to enjoy fresh, renewed skin by the holidays.

1 Week Before: Refresh & Recharge

This is the moment to give your body (and mind) a little extra love.

1. IV Hydration Therapy: Nicole’s go-to for everyone during the busy season. With custom infusions that support immunity, energy, and hydration, you’ll sail through those late nights and early mornings looking vibrant.

1. Brow Lamination and Lash Lift and Tint: The finishing touch to frame your freshly glowing face.

1. ZO Skin Health Home Routine: Continue your glow at home with products that keep results lasting well into the new year.

Pro Tip from the Emerald Team:

Avoid booking new-to-you treatments the week of your event. Stick with what your skin already loves, and let Lexi, Leigha, Jessica or Audrey customize a pre-event refresh that’s designed for your goals.
