Cosmetic Surgery Before the Holidays - Best Treatments For Planning Ahead


Advertisement

With summer season in full swing, it’s easy to forget that about holiday planning and events that will fill up your calendar in a few short months. Entertaining season is right around the corner, so you might not have time to book a series of treatments you need for your makeover this year. Planning ahead now can save you time and get you in great shape well before the holidays, and you can celebrate with a fresh new look.

Whether you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, lose a few stubborn pounds or freshen up a dull complexion, here are a few cosmetic surgery treatments to book for Fall in preparation for the holidays ahead:

The Liquid Facelift to Get Rid of Wrinkles

If fine lines and wrinkles have crept up on you in recent years, this holiday season could be the perfect time to enjoy a mini-makeover. The Liquid Facelift is the latest nonsurgical anti-aging treatment that makes use of today’s leading injectable fillers – Botox, Juvederm, Restylane and Evolence amongst others – to help sculpt the face and improve facial contours. Dermal fillers applied to key areas of the face can help plump up wrinkles to create a smoother appearance, and offer a natural look – without the pain and downtime associated with surgery. If you schedule your Liquid Facelift by the beginning of November, you can expect to see results well before holiday season begins.

Microcurrent Facials for Facial Rejuvenation

Instead of the conventional facial at the medspa or day spa, a microcurrent facial has the added benefit of targeting key acupressure points around the face. Small electrical impulses are passed across the face to stimulate the muscles and help increase collagen production deep within the skin’s surface. A series of microcurrent facials can help reduce wrinkles, eliminate creases and fine liens, and slowly re-sculpt and contour the face for a more youthful appearance. Booking a microcurrent facial by September or October can help the skin rebuild itself and become stronger well before the holidays.

Thermage to Tighten and Tone the Skin

Thermage for the face and 'Body by Thermage' are both increasingly popular options in cosmetic surgery, and work best after a series of treatments over the course of a few weeks. You may be an ideal candidate for Thermage if you have weak or sagging skin, or have lost a lot of weight and want to smooth out your silhouette. Thermage works by rebuilding skin tissues deep within the skin’s layers so that the surface of the skin appears to be tighter, smoother and more resilient. If you book your Thermage treatment from August through October, you can expect to see results right by Thanksgiving. 

VelaShape and VelaSmooth for Cellulite Removal

Even after a summer of healthy eating and working out regularly, you may be left with stubborn fatty deposits and cellulite that just won’t disappear. If you don’t want to pursue surgery, there are several nonsurgical cellulite removal options available. VelaSmooth using the VelaShape device is one of htem, a technologically advanced treatment with a high success rate. This cellulite treatment works using infrared energy, bi-polar radio frequency (RF) and ‘elos technology’ to break down fatty tissue and reshape the body using a vacuum-massage device.  A series of 8 – 10 treatments over the course of 6 – 8 weeks is all it takes to break down cellulite and resculpt the body, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will maintain results. Starting a VelaShape treatment plan by mid-September or early October can help you jump into holiday season with your ideal figure.

Whether you want to get rid of wrinkles or tighten up loose skin, you’ll find plenty of treatments that can provide lasting results and get you in great shape for holiday season.
