100 Days to Christmas

Today marks 100 days until Christmas – which sounds like plenty of time, until you remember that some of our most popular treatments work best with a little planning. Some build gradually, over a course of sessions; others give an instant glow and can wait until the final few days. Here’s how we’d suggest timing things, treatment by treatment, so you’re ready for whatever the festive season brings.

Now, while there’s still time to build (100+ days to go)

Some treatments work by supporting your skin over several weeks, so the earlier you start, the more time you have for results to develop before the festive season.

Platelet-rich plasma or The Vampire Facial

PRP uses your own blood plasma to help stimulate collagen production, and is usually given as a short course of sessions a few weeks apart, with results building gradually. Polynucleotides work in a similar way, supporting skin repair and quality over a course of treatments. Both are worth starting now if you’d like the full benefit in place well before Christmas.

October: the foundational courses (around ten weeks to go)

October is a good window for treatments typically given as a course, with a few weeks between sessions, so you have time to complete the course and let results settle.

Profhilo

Our bio-remodelling skin treatment is usually given as two sessions around four weeks apart. Microneedling can also be given as a short course for a more concentrated effect, and HydraTight, our non-invasive skin tightening treatment, follows a similar pattern of sessions building on one another. Booking these in October means everything is comfortably finished well before Christmas week.

November: top-ups and hydration (around six weeks to go)

By November, it’s about maintaining and refining.

Skin boosters

This popular treatment is a lovely way to add hydration and radiance in the run-up to party season, and layer well on top of earlier treatments. If you’ve already started a course of microneedling or HydraTight, November is a natural time for a top-up session.

Early December: brightening, with time to heal (two to three weeks to go)

Talk to us about timing to make sure any treatments you have now include the appropriate downtime for beautiful results.

Chemical peel

A facial peel is a lovely way to refresh tone and texture before Christmas, but it does need a little downtime to heal – so we’d suggest booking this two to three weeks out, rather than the week of your party.

The final countdown: zero-downtime glow (the last week – even the day before)

Some treatments are designed to be booked right up to the wire.

HydraFacial

This advanced facial is one of our most popular “just before” treatments – deeply hydrating and glow-giving, with no downtime at all, so it works beautifully even the day before an event. One of our bespoke facials, tailored to your skin on the day, is another lovely way to finish – or simply to take a moment for yourself in a busy December.
