When it comes to looking and feeling your best during the party season, you need to plan your skincare treatment timelines. Not all treatments deliver instant results, so it may be worth planning these ahead. To help you get organised, here is a helpful guide to our most popular treatments.
Skin Needling
Skin needling uses a hand-held device with small needles to gently prick the skin to stimulate the production of collagen. You will start to see effects in the coming days as your skin appears firm yet plump. Very little downtime is required and skin could remain red for a couple of hours afterwards so give yourself a couple of weeks before a big event.
Radio Frequency Microneedling
Microneedling treatments (similar to skin needling) create micro-injury in the skin that promote your skin’s natural healing which encourages collagen and elastin boosting but use energy-based devices to help lift and tighten sagging skin, while also being able to stimulate collagen production to enhance its appearance. At least 24 hours of downtime is often required so make sure to have this treatment a few weeks in advance of an event to give skin time to heal fully.
Radio Frequency Facials
Another great option for tightening skin, our radio frequency facials (such as Neauvia Sectum Skin Tightening) can help to give your skin an instant ‘lifted’ tighter look and is a great option combined with a HydraFacial right before a special occasion. It also helps to stimulate collagen production to enhance skin quality and give you long-lasting results.
HydraFacials
HydraFacial is a gentle yet effective exfoliation treatment that can improve skin concerns all over the body, including the face, hands, neck, chest, legs, arms and hands. The treatment can be delivered in as little as 30 minutes, allowing you to get back to your daily activities immediately. A HydraFacial feels soothing and refreshing, while leaving you with a healthy and radiant glow on the day or day before a big event.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can help to replace lost volume in the cheeks, lips and temples, while also being able to add definition around the chin and jawline. After a consultation they are best delivered at least 2 weeks in advance of a big event.
Red Light Therapy
LED is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to address various skin conditions. Red light therapy energises the cells in the skin and can activate fibroblasts which can stimulate collagen production so is a great treatment to help improve long-term skin health with gradual results but also a great facial add-on to calm skin before an event.
Medical Grade Skincare
If you’re after brighter, fresher looking skin, then there are lots of skincare options we can explore. First, it’s important to get you on a good skincare routine with clinically-proven products from our ZO Skin Health range. This will help maintain your skin quality on a long-term basis but could also get your skin looking better after a couple of weeks.
Although this guide is designed to advise on timelines for your special events, it’s worth emphasising that there are no quick wins when it comes to skincare. The best approach is having a longer term skin health plan topped up with treatments that help to give you a boost in the party season.
At Pure Perfection Clinic, we’ll carefully assess your skin, medical and lifestyle history before putting together an effective treatment plan personalised to your needs and goals. Get in touch to book your consultation.
