The holidays are just around the corner, and that means family gatherings, festive parties, and lots of photo opportunities. It’s the time of year when everyone wants to look and feel their best. Whether you’re seeing loved ones you haven’t visited in a while or simply want to feel more confident heading into the season, a few well-timed cosmetic treatments can make all the difference.

At Farmington Derm, we love helping our patients refresh their look with subtle, natural enhancements that highlight their best features. Three of our favorite ways to get holiday-ready are Botox, chemical peels, and laser hair reduction. Each offers beautiful results with minimal downtime, which makes them perfect for busy schedules this time of year.

Refresh your look with Botox

If you’ve been noticing frown lines or crow’s feet when you look in the mirror, Botox can help smooth away those fine lines and restore a more relaxed, youthful appearance. This quick treatment involves a few tiny injections that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles, softening their appearance.

One of the best things about Botox is that it’s fast and easy. Many patients come in on their lunch break or between errands, and there’s virtually no recovery time. Results start to appear within a few days and reach their full effect in about two weeks, lasting for several months. Scheduling your appointment a few weeks before the holidays gives your skin plenty of time to look refreshed and natural by the time the celebrations begin.

Reveal your glow with a chemical peel

Cold weather, indoor heating, and dry air can all take a toll on your skin during the fall and winter months. A chemical peel is a wonderful way to bring back your natural glow. This treatment gently exfoliates the outer layers of your skin, removing dull buildup and promoting healthy cell renewal. The result is a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion that looks fresh and revitalized.

Chemical peels can be customized for your skin type and goals. A light peel provides a quick refresh with minimal flaking, while deeper peels offer more dramatic results for those looking to address fine lines, sun damage, or uneven texture. After a peel, your skin feels softer and looks more radiant, making it the perfect pre-holiday treatment. You can even pair it with Botox for a full-face glow-up before your big events.

Get silky smooth with laser hair reduction

If you want to skip shaving and waxing this holiday season, laser hair reduction can help you enjoy silky smooth skin that lasts. This treatment targets hair follicles beneath the surface, slowing future growth and leaving your skin softer over time.

Laser hair reduction works gradually, with multiple sessions recommended for optimal results. Starting your treatments in November gives you a head start on smoother skin for future vacations, special occasions, or simply for everyday confidence. Many patients find the convenience of long-term hair reduction to be one of their favorite cosmetic investments.
