The festive season is fast approaching, and with it comes the desire to look and feel your best for holiday gatherings, parties, and family photos. Aesthetic treatments are an excellent way to achieve a radiant glow and boost your confidence during this special time of year. Dr Anita Dhunna, with clinics in Bishop’s Stortford, South Woodford, and Hatfield, offers a range of treatments to help you achieve your holiday beauty goals.
Here’s a guide to the most popular aesthetic treatments, their benefits, and the best time to schedule them to ensure you’re glowing for all your festive events.
1. Botox
Fine lines and wrinkles can make us appear tired or older than we feel. Wrinkle-relaxing injections, commonly known as Botox, are a quick and effective way to smooth lines and refresh your appearance.
Benefits:
Softens lines on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the brows.
Provides a rested and rejuvenated look.
Results appear natural when administered by an experienced professional like Dr Dhunna.
Downtime:
Minimal to none. You may experience slight redness or mild swelling at the injection site, which subsides within a few hours.
Timing:
For optimal results, schedule your treatment 2–3 weeks before a major event, as the full effects typically take this time to appear.
2. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers from the Juvederm Vycross range are perfect for adding volume, contouring facial features, and enhancing skin hydration. Whether you want to define your cheekbones, plump your lips, or soften lines, dermal fillers offer versatile solutions.
Benefits:
Adds youthful volume to the cheeks and under-eye area.
Enhances lip shape and hydration for a subtle or more defined pout.
Contours the jawline and chin for a more sculpted appearance.
Downtime:
Mild swelling or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days.
Timing:
Book your filler appointment 3–4 weeks before your holiday events to allow time for any swelling to subside and for the results to settle beautifully.
3. Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
A radiant, glowing complexion is the ultimate accessory for the festive season. Skin rejuvenation treatments such as microneedling or chemical peels can transform dull, tired skin and improve texture, tone, and hydration.
Benefits:
Reduces the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation.
Boosts collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.
Improves overall skin tone and luminosity.
Downtime:
Microneedling: Slight redness for 24–48 hours.
Chemical Peels: Peeling may occur for up to a week, depending on the strength of the peel.
Timing:
Schedule skin rejuvenation treatments at least 3–4 weeks before any events to allow your skin to fully recover and reveal its refreshed glow.
4. Hydrating Skin Boosters
Hydrating skin boosters, like Profhilo, are a game-changer for achieving a natural, dewy complexion. These injectable moisturisers deliver deep hydration and improve skin elasticity, making them ideal for the winter months when skin often feels dry and dull.
Benefits:
Hydrates and plumps the skin for a luminous glow.
Improves skin texture and elasticity.
Results are subtle and natural.
Downtime:
Minimal, with mild swelling or redness that subsides within a few hours.
Timing:
For best results, plan this treatment at least 2–3 weeks in advance.
5. Subtle Lip Enhancements
The festive season is all about celebrating, and whether you’re toasting with friends or sharing holiday kisses under the mistletoe, beautifully enhanced lips can make a statement.
Benefits:
Adds definition and volume for a natural or bold look.
Hydrates lips to improve texture and smoothness.
Boosts confidence with subtle, tailored enhancements.
Downtime:
Swelling may last for up to 48 hours, with full results visible within a week.
Timing:
Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before events to ensure your lips look their best.
