The holidays in Denver are filled with festive events, cozy gatherings, and more photo ops than any other season — which makes now the perfect time to plan your aesthetic treatments. Whether you’re gearing up for a glamorous party, heading to the mountains, or simply want to feel your best for the new year, getting the timing right is key.
At Spa Bella Medispa, we’ve created the ultimate pre-holiday treatment timeline to ensure you look radiant, refreshed, and camera-ready — all without last-minute stress.
4–6 Weeks Out: Let the Transformation Begin
Laser Treatments (BBL/IPL Photofacial, Clear + Brilliant, Laser Genesis)
These treatments are ideal for correcting sun damage, redness, uneven tone, and texture. Results take time to develop, and mild redness or flaking may occur — give your skin time to heal and glow.
Injectables: Botox, Dysport, Dermal Fillers
Smooth fine lines, soften wrinkles, and restore youthful volume. Plan for 5–7 days for Botox to take effect, and up to two weeks for any swelling from dermal fillers to subside. First-time clients should schedule earlier to ensure best results.
2–3 Weeks Out: Boost and Brighten
With a few weeks left before the holidays, now is the time for treatments that refresh your skin and give it time to glow naturally. Microneedling with PRP, also known as the “Vampire Facial,” helps boost collagen, improve texture, and enhance radiance. It’s especially effective for fine lines, acne scars, and dullness. You may see light redness for one to three days, with results peaking around one to two weeks — perfect timing for upcoming events.
Pair it with a custom facial like our Oxygen Glow or Hydrating Enzyme Facial. These treatments instantly hydrate, soothe, and smooth your skin without downtime — ideal for a bright, refreshed look heading into the season.
Each facial is designed to combat Denver’s dry, high-altitude climate, helping restore balance and hydration as the temperatures drop.
5–7 Days Out: Finishing Touches
The final few days before your holiday commitments are all about polish and perfection. At this point, it’s best to avoid anything with extended downtime and instead opt for high-impact, low-recovery treatments.
Dermaplaning combined with a light chemical peel is the ultimate last-minute glow-up. This pairing gently exfoliates dead skin cells, removes fine facial hair, and improves the penetration of skincare products and makeup. It instantly smooths texture and enhances radiance, making it the go-to choice for flawless holiday photos and party-ready skin. Most clients leave with a noticeable glow and minimal redness, making it safe and effective even days before your main event.
Holiday Gifting, Made Beautiful
Spa Bella Medispa also makes it easy to share the gift of self-care. Our beautifully packaged gift cards can be used for any service — from facials and injectables to advanced laser treatments — and make thoughtful, elegant gifts for loved ones or a well-deserved treat for yourself.
Be sure to ask about our limited-time holiday promotions on treatment bundles and seasonal facials. These curated offers are perfect for those looking to experience multiple treatments or stock up on self-care sessions for the winter ahead.
Book Early — the Holidays Fill Fast
With the holidays being one of our busiest times of year, we recommend booking your treatments early. Laser sessions and injectable appointments often fill several weeks in advance. By planning ahead, you’ll ensure access to your preferred time slots and give your skin the optimal amount of time to heal and glow.
Spa Bella offers convenient online scheduling and virtual pre-consultations to help streamline your holiday preparation. Let us take the stress out of your beauty planning, so you can focus on enjoying the season.
