Its always mixed feelings when we approach year-end. We get busy to meet our end year budget for our company or close our books for the year. On the other hand, we try to squeeze in some time in between to pamper ourselves so that we can look good for the year end parties in December.

Isn't it true that our big plans to go for treatments and look good are always foiled by our hectic work schedule in Q4 every year? There is one way to ensure that you keep to your beauty schedule: Line up some crucial beauty appointments in advance so that you’ll stick with it.

Here are some crucial timelines you’d want to stick to, so that you stand out from the rest of the crowd during the year-end parties.

10 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: ULTHERAPY SKIN LIFTING

Thanks to the advancement of medical sciences, skin lifting technology has improved by leaps and bounds. Skin lifting treatments do not only refer to undergoing the knife to pull the excess skin backwards.

Powered by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology, Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin lifting treatment that has lifted the face of over 1 million people worldwide. Because of its non-invasive treatment in nature, most people who are not inclined to undergoing surgery for non-essential medical treatment find this a very suitable alternative. In just one session, it jumpstarts the intense collagen regeneration and tissue repair of the skin. Ultherapy works on building a strong foundational layer of the skin to restore the structure and firmness of the skin.

Best outcome is usually seen about 10 to 12 weeks after the treatment as collagen regeneration requires some time. Over the period of 3 months, you will notice the skin becoming gradually lifted and contours sharper. Wrinkles and fine lines will also soften.

An alternative to Ultherapy is a HIFU treatment that works very similar ways to simulate collagen and lift the skin.

6 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: THREAD LIFT AND TRIPOLLAR SKIN LIFTING

For people seeking more visible result, Silhouette Soft Thread Lift is an excellent choice. This popular skin lifting treatment is best done 6 weeks before Christmas as the results are most visible about 6 weeks after treatment.

Using dissolvable sutures lined with anchors or barbs, the doctor inserts the threads under the skin to lift and reposition sagging skin. At the same time, collagen stimulation occurs which helps to restore volume to the face.

In some clinics like Radium Medical Aesthetics, they also offer PDO Thread Lift to complement Silhouette Soft Thread Lift treatment.

See the transformation before your own eyes as you achieve a V-shaped face as the threads lift the skin to accentuate your beautiful facial features, making you look younger and fresh-faced.

To achieve a longer-lasting lift, TriPollar V-Lift is the perfect treatment to lift mildly sagging skin. TriPollar is the latest technology to painlessly deliver focused radiofrequency waves deep into the subcutaneous tissues for immediate contraction.

5 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: EYE LIFT TREATMENT

Your eyes are the first facial features people look at when you meet them for the first time. It is no surprise people spend a fair bit of time to make sure their eyes glow and look energetic all the time. Defy aging and put some life back into your eyes with AGNES Eye Lid Lift Treatment.

The latest Korean technology effectively lifts sagging eyelids by creating little wounds on the eyelid skin and deliver targeted radiofrequency waves to stimulate collagen remodeling. The downside of this treatment is that it may induce some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment for a few days. However, you will be rewarded with a pair of lifted, youthful eyes in a matter of days!

3 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: SKIN BRIGHTENING TREATMENT

Almost there! Consider undergoing a gentle, yet effective laser treatment for skin brightening. Dual Yellow Laser is the ultimate treatment for pigmented skin, melasma, acne, and rosacea. It offers several wavelengths to treat a wide range of skin abnormalities. The best part of the treatment is that it does not break the skin surface so people with the most sensitive skin can also undergo this treatment.

Dual Yellow Laser reacts well with the hyperpigmentation by going deep into the dermis to remove all pigments without causing any damage to the surrounding skin.

1 WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS: RADIUM RED CARPET FACIAL TREATMENT

Radium Red Carpet is most popular award-winning facial treatment helps you look your best before your parties. Your skin undergoes 5-step skin revival pampering treatment: Cleanse, infuse, lift, rejuvenate, and detoxify.

After this 90-minute luxurious treatment, you achieve a more visible V-shaped face with a translucent clear skin that is the envy of all women at the parties!
