3-4 weeks Before: Early Prep for Radiant Skin
The key to looking your best this season starts early! By planning 3 to 4 weeks ahead of time, you give yourself plenty of room to experience the full benefits of these treatments and allow for any necessary recovery.
Chemical Peel: Refresh and Rejuvenate Your Skin!
A chemical peel is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your skin by removing the top layer of dead cells, revealing fresh, smooth skin underneath. It’s a great option for tackling uneven texture, fine lines, and sunspots that may have appeared over the summer months.
A light or medium-depth peel can give your skin that much-needed glow, but make sure to schedule it about 3-4 weeks before your holiday events to allow time for the skin to heal.
Benefits of Chemical Peels Before the Holidays
- Achieve a Glowing, Even Skin Tone: A chemical peel helps fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, giving you a more radiant, uniform complexion.
- Smooth Away Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By exfoliating and boosting collagen, a chemical peel can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin smoother and more youthful.
- Combat Dry, Dull Skin: A chemical peel exfoliates away dry, flaky skin, revealing a hydrated, softer, and more radiant complexion, perfect for the winter season.
- Address Acne Scars and Blemishes: Chemical peels reduce acne scars and blemishes by exfoliating the skin and promoting new cell growth for clearer, smoother skin.
- Quick Treatment with Minimal Downtime: Chemical peels are quick (30 minutes or less) with minimal downtime, allowing you to get glowing skin without a lengthy recovery.
- Improve Skin Texture and Clarity: A chemical peel removes dead skin cells, refining texture and leaving your complexion smoother, clearer, and revitalized.
- Boost the Effectiveness of Your Skin Care Routine: After a chemical peel, your skin absorbs products better, enhancing the effectiveness of moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens.
A chemical peel can give your skin care routine an extra boost, helping you maintain that youthful glow well into the new year. At Lebo Aesthetics & Spa, we offer a range of chemical peels designed to revitalize, refresh, and renew your skin in time for the holiday season.
Injectables (Tox & Fillers): Smooth Fine Lines & Enhance Your Features
Injectables like Tox and dermal fillers are some of the most effective ways to enhance your natural features and achieve a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance before the holidays. And if you’re planning on getting Tox or fillers, timing is key to achieving the best results.
Benefits of Tox Before the Holidays
As we age, fine lines and wrinkles start to show up—especially around the forehead, eyes (crow’s feet), and mouth. Tox, is a non-surgical injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for causing these wrinkles. By softening these lines, Tox helps restore a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Here is why three to four weeks ahead of the holidays is the perfect time for this treatment.
- Smoothing Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Tox reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead, eyes, and mouth for a youthful, refreshed look.
- Prevention: Tox prevents future wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles before they deepen, keeping skin smooth longer.
- Quick Results & Minimal Downtime: Tox is a fast 10–15-minute treatment with results in 3-5 days and full effects in two weeks.
As we age, we also lose volume in key areas of the face—especially in the cheeks, lips, and around the jawline. That’s where dermal fillers come in. They are a safe and effective way to restore that lost volume, giving you a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that helps retain moisture and plumpness.
Benefits of Fillers Before the Holidays
- Plump & Lift: Fillers restore volume to areas like cheeks and under-eyes, enhancing facial contours for a youthful look.
- Non-Surgical Facelift: Fillers provide an instant lift and rejuvenation, offering a youthful appearance without surgery.
- Quick & Long-Lasting Results: Fillers deliver immediate results that can last 6 months to over a year, with improvement over time.
To ensure you’re holiday-ready with the best results, book your Tox and filler treatments at least 3-4 weeks before your events. This gives your skin time to adjust, heal, and settle, ensuring you’ll look refreshed, glowing, and fabulous for every occasion.
Skin Revitalization: Tackle Imperfections with Laser Precision
