5 Ways to Get Photo Ready this Holiday Season

The holiday season is in full swing and that means our social calendars are quickly filling up. With the shorter days and crowded schedules, many of us find ourselves procrastinating in the TLC department (guilty!). Who has time for pampering in between holiday shopping and keeping up with our ever-growing to-do lists?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Read on for our favorite ways to prep for the social events of the season. Just in time for photo ops and #selfies galore!

‘Tis the season for Botox®.

Squeeze in a last-minute Botox® session to smooth away problem lines and improve the appearance of wrinkles for a more youthful-looking glow and picture perfect moments. Hello, 2019 holiday card! The best part? You can get in and out on your lunch break with no downtime or recovery needed. We suggest booking your appointment a week or two before a big event because it can take 7-10 days to see the full results. Another benefit of Botox®? It will create a smooth and even canvas for makeup, since you won’t need to worry about foundation settling into those fine lines and wrinkles.

Give yourself the gift of fuller lips.

Get that extra little ‘oomph’ you’ve been looking for with Juvéderm® Ultra XC and Volbella. These FDA-approved fillers give you the gift of fuller-looking lips without the hassle of an invasive procedure. Longing for more subtle volume or just want to target those vertical lines around the mouth (aka smoker’s lines)? Juvéderm Volbella is the best choice for this. This treatment adds just the right amount of plump for mistletoe-ready lips.

Cheers to well-defined cheeks.

Subtract years from your appearance with Voluma® or Restylane® Lyft. This injectable treatment boosts volume in the cheek area to restore youthful plumpness for younger-looking skin, instantly. You’ll be so pleased with the natural-looking results. Did we mention you can immediately continue on with your day after your visit? Win, win.

Keep shine in check. And check it twice.

The secret to a long-lasting makeup application? Translucent powder or setting spray is hands down one of the most important steps for a flawless finish. Tuck it in your purse for quick and easy shine-blasting touch-ups throughout the day. If you have oily skin and want to reduce shine with more than powder, our pro-grade facials and premium skincare products can help! They’re offered in select locations only, but will be offered in more centers in the future!

Let it glow, let it glow, let it glow.

The more glimmer, glisten and glam this season, the better. Although, when it comes to accentuating your best features, take it easy on the glitter and opt for a shimmering highlighter or luminizer. This provides a subtle glow in a consistency that complements your skin type and texture. Apply strategically on your cupid’s bow to draw attention to enhanced lips and apply above your cheekbones to emphasize the beautiful contour achieved with Voluma®. Voila!


Let’s make a pact to ring in the New Year looking and feeling our absolute best. What are some ways you get photo ready for the holidays?
