This time of year tends to get busy fast. Between holiday gatherings, gift planning, and everything else on your to-do list, it’s easy to push your own needs to the bottom. Here’s your gentle reminder: you deserve a little self-care, too.
As the weather cools down and the holiday season heats up, it’s the perfect time to pause, reset, and give yourself the same care you give everyone else. That’s why we want to share some of our favorite treatments for fall. Not just for looking your best, but for feeling more confident, rested, and radiant through the holidays and into the new year.
Whether you’re prepping for photos, planning ahead for January, or simply ready for a reset, here’s what we recommend right now.
Laser Season Is Here
Fall is officially laser season. With less sun exposure, your skin is more protected during the healing process, and we can safely target sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and uneven texture.
IPL + Resurfacing Combo
This is one of our favorite go-to’s for a total skin refresh. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) helps reduce brown spots and redness, while resurfacing smooths skin texture and fine lines. We do this as a two-treatment series spaced four to six weeks apart, and now is the perfect time to begin. Your skin will look noticeably clearer and brighter in time for the holidays.
Bonus: This combo is on special in November, so it’s a great time to book and save.
Filler for Subtle Support
If your cheeks are feeling flat, smile lines are deepening, or your jawline is starting to soften, dermal fillers can offer an instant refresh without looking overdone. We use a range of options depending on your goals, whether you’re looking for contour, lift, or hydration.
We also love biostimulatory injectables for longer-term collagen support. These work gradually over time to restore fullness and firmness in a way that feels incredibly natural.
If you're heading into family photos or holiday events, we can create a plan that leaves you looking rested, refreshed, and like yourself—just better.
Neurotoxins for a Polished Finish
Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are perfect for softening fine lines and relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. Most patients see results within a few weeks, so you’ll want to plan accordingly to look fresh before Thanksgiving or December events.
And remember, neurotoxins aren’t just about smoothing. They can also help with brow lift, lip flips, jawline slimming, and correcting asymmetry. A few small tweaks can make a big difference in how you look and feel.
Microneedling for Radiance
If your skin is feeling dull, dry, or rough, microneedling is one of our favorite ways to restore glow. By stimulating collagen and creating micro-injuries in the skin, we trigger your body’s natural healing response, which leads to a smoother, firmer, and more vibrant complexion.
This is a great option to pair with PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) or PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to accelerate results, especially before holiday photo season.
Weight Loss Support Through the Holidays
This season can feel overwhelming when it comes to food, social events, and routine changes. If you’re already working on your weight loss goals or looking for support to get started, we have customized options to help you stay on track without missing out.
Our personalized weight loss program offers a medically guided, sustainable approach that helps regulate appetite and support fat loss. Whether you’re just beginning or looking for accountability through the holidays, we’ll meet you where you are and help you keep moving forward. (Also on special in November!)
Treatments That Work With Your Life
Every face is different, and so are your needs. The best part about aesthetic treatments is that they can be customized for where you are right now. Whether it’s a quick neurotoxin touch-up or a full laser series, we’ll walk you through what makes the most sense for your skin, schedule, and goals.
