The holiday season is packed with parties, reunions, and endless photo opportunities. If you’re looking to refresh your look and feel confident before the cameras come out, combining injectables (for targeted refinement) with resurfacing treatments (for foundational skin quality) is the ultimate strategy.

At Aspen Aesthetics + Wellness, we help clients strategically choose their treatments based on their desired goal (smoothing vs. adding volume) and their timeline (instant improvement vs. gradual long-term improvement).

Here is a breakdown of your power options for holiday refinement, including the vital step of Microneedling for overall skin health.

SkinPen Microneedling: The Foundational Skin Reset

Microneedling uses the SkinPen device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, initiating the natural wound healing process. This stimulates massive production of new collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, firmness, and tone over time.

This treatment is even more powerful when combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), also known as the PRP Facial. PRP utilizes your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and boost results.

What It Does:

• Improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and deep acne scarring.
• Reduces pore size and evens out skin tone and texture.
• Boosts the skin’s overall firmness and luminosity.

The Holiday Timeline:

• Treatment Time: 30–60 minutes.
• Results Time: Initial brightness is seen after a few days, but major collagen results build gradually over 4–6 weeks and require a series of treatments for optimal outcome.
• Downtime: 1–3 days of redness (like a mild sunburn).
• Ideal Timing: We recommend booking your final treatment at least 2–3 weeks before your main event to allow redness to subside and the initial improvement to appear.

Tox (Botox, Xeomin, etc.): The Wrinkle Eraser

Neuromodulators, commonly referred to as Tox (like Botox), relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that appear when you make expressions).

The Holiday Timeline:

• Results Time: Takes 5-7 days to start seeing results; peak results are seen at 10–14 days.
• Downtime: None.
• Ideal Timing: 2 Weeks Before your main event.

Dermal Fillers & Sculptra: The Volume and Contour Artists

Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid) restore immediate volume, contour the jawline, and plump features. Sculptra acts as a “collagen stimulator” for gradual, long-term lift.

The Holiday Timeline:

• Results Time (Filler): Immediate (plan for 24–48 hours of swelling).
• Results Time (Sculptra): Gradual over 3–6 months.
• Downtime: Minimal. There is a small risk of bruising, which is why we recommend scheduling these treatments at least 1–2 weeks before a major event.
