For many, the Christmas and New Year period is the time to feel and look their best. But, with all those photo opportunities and social gatherings lurking around the corner, there is not much time left for drastic interventions. 

That is where non-invasive cosmetic treatments might come in handy. These aesthetic rejuvenation treatments can deliver that much-wanted, refreshed and youthful appearance with minimal downtime. This article is a guide to our favourite, most effective non-surgical treatments to consider before the holidays.

Our top 4 favourite aesthetic rejuvenation treatments to prepare for the holiday season

1  Muscle relaxants

Muscle relaxants are the go-to treatment for smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

These treatments temporarily relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles, creating a smoother appearance. The effects typically become noticeable within three to seven days, with optimal results visible at two weeks. Results may last up to four months.

2  Volume replacement

As the name implies, volume replacement therapies add volume to specific areas of the face. They can smooth deeper lines (nasolabial folds, marionette lines), restore volume in under-eye hollows, and enhance features like the lips and cheeks.

Temporary treatments are made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials that plump the skin and stimulate collagen production. Results are immediate, but mild swelling or bruising may last a few days. So, it is best to schedule the treatment at least two to four weeks before any significant event to ensure any swelling has resolved.

3  Skin Boosters

For those seeking a radiant glow, Skin Boosters can improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity. They work by stimulating collagen production or delivering hydration directly into the skin. The results are gradual, with optimal effects appearing over several weeks. For a maximum effect, it is best to start treatments six to eight weeks before the holidays.

4  Fat-dissolving treatment

This treatment offers a non-surgical solution for a double chin. It dissolves fat under the chin, creating a more defined jawline. Results appear gradually over six to eight weeks, with swelling expected immediately after treatment. It is better to start early, at least several months before the holidays, since multiple sessions may be needed.
