Once December arrives, schedules tend to be tight. From holiday events to family photo sessions to annual wrap-ups at work, this month can leave you feeling pressed for time. Of course, you want to look your best for all these events, and therein lies the challenge: how do you squeeze spa treatments in when you barely have a moment to spare?
At Balance MedSpa, we’re proud to offer several single-visit cosmetic treatments that will leave you looking refreshed and holiday-ready without the need for a long appointment. These treatments don’t require much (if any) downtime, either, so you won’t have to waste valuable days resting on the sofa, waiting for your face to heal.
Dermaplaning
Is your skin lacking that healthy glow everyone seems to talk about? Maybe your complexion looks generally dull or flat. If you wear makeup, you might find it always looks a bit more matte or cakey than you’d like. These complaints are common. That’s especially true at the beginning of winter, when the air becomes a bit drier and temperatures start to fall.
Dermaplaning is an easy, non-invasive solution for dull skin. In this simple procedure, your practitioner will use a scalpel to essentially scrape away the tiny hairs and dead skin cells covering your face. The result is a look that’s smooth, beautiful, and brilliant.
You can easily schedule a dermaplaning appointment on your lunch break, or even first thing in the morning on a busy day. The results are immediately apparent. Your skin may feel a little tingly and warm for a day or so after the treatment, but there’s no need for any true recovery period.
One of the best things about dermaplaning is how amazing makeup looks afterwards. Without those little baby hairs, foundation, concealer, and other facial makeup will apply smoothly. Plus, makeup is less likely to cake or look matte. You’ll be glowing and natural, not only at holiday events, but also in any photos that are taken.
HydraFacials
If you love the relaxing experience of a facial but want to take the benefits to the next level, consider scheduling a HydraFacial this December. This is one of our most beloved non-invasive treatments for women with skin concerns, including clogged pores, redness, dullness, fine lines, and sensitivity.
The HydraFacial is performed with a specialized device that gently exfoliates your skin, revealing the fresh, new skin underneath. It also includes a very effective extraction step that helps shrink pores and prevent future acne breakouts. After the extractions, we nourish your skin with a special blend of intensive moisturizers. Finally, we infuse and protect the skin with a unique blend of peptides and antioxidants.
We can also customize the HydraFacial to fit your specific skin concerns. Clients with redness often appreciate the Rozatrol Booster Serum, which helps renew the complexion by gently soothing redness and sensitivity. The Growth Factor Booster Serum is incredible for fine lines, and Britenol Booster Serum is a top choice for sun spots and age spots.
The HydraFacial is an enjoyable experience, so consider scheduling yours at the end of a busy week. This way, you’ll look and feel your best for any upcoming weekend gatherings.
Botox®
Botox® has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for more than 20 years, and it’s basically a household word. There’s a good reason for its popularity: it works. There are few better options for treating dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles that appear or intensify when you make certain facial expressions. From crow’s feet to mouth wrinkles, a few shots of Botox® can transform your appearance, restoring a smoother and more youthful complexion.
Botox® has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for more than 20 years, is easy to schedule, only takes a few minutes to administer, and delivers instant results. If you’re worried about looking older when you laugh and smile in photos this holiday season, this is the treatment for you.
Keep in mind that we also offer various filler injections, including Sculptra®, Restylane®, and Juvederm®. In fact, injectables are among our most popular treatments! Fillers work well for static wrinkles – the ones that remain noticeable even when you’re not moving your face. If you’re not sure whether Botox® or fillers are a better fit for your needs, your practitioner can help you decide. In some cases, we may recommend Botox® in one location and filler in another. Both spa treatments are easy to administer, come with few to no side effects, and offer natural-looking results in just one visit.
Looking your best doesn’t have to mean spending hours at the med spa or squeezing multiple appointments into an already-tight December schedule. Contact Balance MedSpa to learn more about these and other easy, single-visit spa treatments that will leave you toned and glowing.
