The Holidays Are Here — And So Are the Photos
The holiday season brings a whirlwind of events, from festive dinners to family gatherings, all captured in countless photos. If you want to look refreshed, radiant, and confident, there’s still time to get a quick glow-up. Renaissance M.D. in Redlands, CA offers several fast and effective treatments that require little to no downtime, perfect for last-minute prep before your holiday celebrations.
Here’s a guide to the top treatments that will help you shine bright and look your best this season.
DiamondGlow® Facial for Instant Radiance
If you want skin that looks red-carpet ready in just one visit, the DiamondGlow® facial is an excellent choice. This treatment combines exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion to leave your skin glowing and smooth.
Why DiamondGlow® works well for the holidays:
No downtime, so you can get it done even a day before your event
Instantly brightens dull skin and smooths rough texture
Clears congestion and reduces fine lines
Creates a perfect canvas for makeup, helping it apply evenly and last longer
Ideal for:
Dull or dry skin, rough patches, fine lines, and skin stressed by the busy holiday season.
When to schedule:
2 to 7 days before your party for the best results.
Dermaplaning for Baby-Smooth Skin
Dermaplaning is a precise exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz). This treatment instantly brightens your complexion and helps makeup blend seamlessly.
Benefits of dermaplaning before a holiday event:
Skin feels incredibly smooth to the touch
Makeup applies flawlessly and looks natural
Enhances absorption of skincare products, boosting their effectiveness
Pro tip: Combine dermaplaning with a DiamondGlow® facial for a powerful glow-up that will have your skin looking its absolute best.
Botox® and Jeuveau® for a Refreshed Appearance
If wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead creases are a concern, Botox® or Jeuveau® treatments can smooth these areas quickly. These injectables relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, giving your face a refreshed and youthful look.
Timing for Botox® and Jeuveau®:
Initial smoothing appears within 3 to 5 days
Full results develop around 10 to 14 days after treatment
For holiday photos, 2 weeks prior to the event is the ideal time to schedule so your skin looks smooth and natural during the festivities.
Light Chemical Peels to Brighten and Refresh
A light chemical peel gently removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, brighter skin underneath. This treatment can improve skin tone, reduce minor discoloration, and give your face a healthy glow.
Why choose a light peel before the holidays:
Quick procedure with minimal downtime
Enhances skin clarity and radiance
Prepares skin for flawless makeup application
Scheduling a peel about 2 weeks before your event allows your skin to recover and look its best.
Laser Genesis for a Red Carpet Glow up
If you want a treatment that delivers instant radiance with zero downtime, Laser Genesis is one of the best glow-up options before holiday parties, family photos, and end-of-year events. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and safe for all skin types — making it ideal for patients who want smoother, brighter, more even skin right away.
Laser Genesis uses advanced, non-ablative laser technology to gently heat the upper layers of the skin. This controlled warmth stimulates collagen production, diffuses redness, and improves texture — all without peeling or irritation.
It’s sometimes called the “red-carpet laser” because celebrities often get it before major appearances.
Holiday Benefits of Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is especially popular during November–December because:
Quick procedure with Zero downtime
Skin looks healthier, smoother, and more even after just one session.
Reduces Redness and Diffuses Flushing
The gentle heat boosts collagen, softening early wrinkles around the eyes and cheeks
When to Schedule:
Because Laser Genesis has immediate glow and builds results, you can schedule it:
2 days before a holiday event for instant radiance
Weekly or bi-weekly for best cumulative results
It’s also a great “refresh” if you had other treatments earlier in the month.
For maximum results before a party, combine:
Laser Genesis + DiamondGlow®
Laser Genesis + Dermaplaning
Laser Genesis + Light Chemical Peel
This creates a smooth, luminous, camera-ready finish.
Final Tips for Your Holiday Glow-Up
Hydrate well before and after treatments to maximize results.
Avoid heavy sun exposure after peels or dermaplaning to protect your skin.
Discuss your event date with your skincare provider to time treatments perfectly.
Combine treatments when possible for enhanced effects, such as dermaplaning followed by DiamondGlow®.
Getting ready for the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful or time-consuming. With these targeted treatments at Renaissance M.D., you can achieve a radiant, refreshed look that lasts through every photo and party.
