The holidays are full of photos, reunions, and parties and you usually want to look (and feel) your best. The trick? Timing your treatments so results peak when you need them most. Here’s the ultimate countdown plan to holiday beauty with all the best treatments right here in Virginia Beach.
8–12 Weeks Before the Holidays
Sculptra®: Stimulates collagen gradually, with results lasting up to two years. Perfect to start now for subtle, natural volume by party season. Really with Sculptra, the sooner you start the better, since the collagen builds gradually over time.
Medical-Grade Skincare: Begin a consistent regimen (retinol, growth factors, brightening serums) to refresh texture and tone.
Some brands that we carry and highly recommend include Alastin, SkinCeuticals and SkinBetter Science. If you are struggling with acne, Face Reality is a great skincare brand to investigate.
DiamondGlow® Facial Series: Start a package 8-12 weeks before the holidays so your skin builds glow over time.
The DiamondGlow® is non-invasive and resurfaces your skin with exfoliation, extraction and infusion. DiamondGlow addresses fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, dryness, bumps and cracked skin.
Schedule a free consultation to determine just how many sessions are needed for your skin to be glowing in time for the holiday season.
6–8 Weeks Before
- Dermal Fillers: Cheeks, lips, or under-eyes get instant volume, but bruising/swelling may take 1–2 weeks to settle. Starting now ensures you look natural and fresh, without side-effects causing unwanted appearances.
Dermal fillers can fix sagging/ volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines while plumping and smoothing the skin. Other areas that can be addressed include the chin, nose, and mouth area.
- Laser Resurfacing or Microneedling: Helps with fine lines, texture, pigmentation—but allow downtime and healing. Both of these treatments really address the on-surface issues such as pigmentation, discoloration and fine lines.
Microneedling is the use of multiple tiny little needles to “prick” the surface of the skin which awakens the cells to produce more collagen and elastin. As your skin begins to heal it will address issues such as enlarged pores, acne and acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Laser resurfacing in Virginia Beach can be done with Halo, CoolPeel, or BBl. The top layer of damaged skin is essentially “burned off” and fades to the smooth, youthful skin that’s underneath. Results can be seen just a few days following your treatment with best results appearing after 2-3 weeks.
Deciding which of these treatments would be best for you really depends on the condition your skin is. Schedule a free consultation at Salt Spa and our professionals will recommend the treatment that will give you the best results.
4 Weeks Before
- Botox® (or Dysport/Xeomin): Softens dynamic lines (crow’s feet, forehead). Takes 7–14 days to fully kick in, lasts ~3–4 months. Perfect timing for the holidays. Botox can cause bruising and some swelling so timing this injectable just right can be vital for a flawless appearance.
- Second DiamondGlow Facial: Keeps skin smooth and bright. According to Realself, 96% of those who received a DiamondGlow treatment felt it was worth it.
1 Week Before
- Final DiamondGlow or Gentle Peel: Instant radiance with zero downtime.
- Lash/Brow Treatments: The finishing touch for photo-ready beauty. At Salt Spa, we provide waxing, Brow Lamination, Brow tinting, Lash tinting and lash lifts. The full arsenal for all of your lash and brow needs before the holiday season!
2–3 Days Before
- Hydrating Mask & Light Exfoliation at Home: Keeps skin plump and smooth.
- Self-Care: Sleep, hydration, avoiding alcohol and salt for your best skin on the holidays.
