Whether you’re preparing days or weeks in advance, explore expert-recommended treatments that restore radiance and refinement for your most beautiful holiday look.
Why Non-Surgical Skin Treatments Are the Perfect Holiday Glow-Up Option
Non-surgical skin rejuvenation has revolutionized aesthetic enhancement by offering impressive results without incisions, extended downtime, or dramatic changes. These advanced treatments, including laser skin treatment and injectable procedures, allow you to look refreshed and natural while maintaining your busy holiday schedule.
Unlike surgical interventions that can require weeks or months of recovery, non-surgical skin treatments fit seamlessly into your life. At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we offer over 60 laser, light, and energy devices that allow our board-certified dermatologists to create personalized treatment plans for every skin type and concern.
We can help you achieve your aesthetic goals with minimal disruption to your schedule. Whether you’re dealing with age spots, fine lines, or uneven texture, we have the technology and expertise to address your concerns.
Top Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation Treatments for a Radiant Holiday Look
If you’re looking for that fresh glow with little to minimal downtime, Clear + Brilliant, IPL photofacial, and 3DMIRACL are your go-to treatments in the days leading up to your event. Each offers unique benefits that can dramatically enhance your skin’s tone, clarity, and overall luminosity.
Clear + Brilliant is the perfect starting point for subtle rejuvenation. This gentle fractional laser refreshes your complexion by stimulating fibroblast function to increase collagen, elastic fiber, and hyaluronic acid production, refining pores, improving texture, and restoring a youthful radiance in just 15-30 minutes.
For patients with visible discoloration or redness, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial takes results a step further. This treatment targets sun damage, pigmentation, and broken capillaries to even out your skin tone in just 10-15 minutes with minimal downtime. Our practice uses the Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL, which equally distributes energy during each pulse for safer, more precise, and more comfortable treatments.
Transform Your Complexion with 3DMIRACL
The newest of the 3, 3DMIRACL delivers a next-level transformation. This exclusive multi-modality treatment combines three synergistic technologies to smooth, tighten, and brighten, revealing a clearer, more radiant complexion that continues to improve in the days ahead.
