How To Look And Feel Your Best Before Christmas

Each year comes with 365 days (leap years aside). And those days are typically filled with work, exposure to the sun, stress, and ageing. All of which can wreak havoc on our skin and bodies.

Even though many people may have heard of the term collagen before, they may not realise how important it is for keeping our skin looking young and firm. All the aforementioned factors can decrease our body’s collagen production, leading to wrinkles, facial volume loss, and sagging skin. A poor diet or unhealthy lifestyle habits can also lead to premature ageing and/or reduced energy.

With the festive season around the corner, many people tend to reflect on the year that has passed and look for ways to look and feel better in the skin they are in, as they head into the New Year.

That is why our team at Healand Clinic has created a list of our top 5 aesthetic and wellness treatments that deliver rapid results with minimal downtime, allowing you to book a consultation now and be a better version of yourself in no time.

1. The Healand Hydra “Skin-Boost” Facial

One of the most advanced yet low-downtime options is our signature Healand HydraFacial. It uses a combination of your own plasma (drawn from a blood sample) and a hyaluronic acid-rich “HydraGel” to boost collagen, hydrate the skin, reduce fine lines, and improve skin tone.

The benefits of using your plasma in the quest to rejuvenate your skin are endless. First and foremost, your plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production, tissue repair, and regeneration, improving skin texture from within. Plus, since the material comes from your own body, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent humectant. It penetrates the skin to hydrate, leaving it soft and smooth deeply.

What makes it ideal for a pre-Christmas refresh is that it is minimally invasive and offers visible results fairly quickly.

2. Anti-Wrinkle Injections

A perennial favourite, anti-wrinkle injections like Botox target crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases, and are very quick to administer. Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which blocks nerve signals to the muscles where it’s injected. Usually, nerves release a chemical called acetylcholine that tells muscles to contract. Botox prevents this release, temporarily relaxing the muscle.

When used in small, controlled doses, it helps smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (those caused by facial expressions). Results are typically visible within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect around two weeks. By booking in early December (or late November), you’ll hit peak smoothness around Christmas.

Downtime is minimal. You might experience mild redness or bruising at injection sites for a day or two at most. It is also great for event-ready skin and complements other treatments, such as fillers or facials.

3. Volume-Boosting Treatments

If you have noticed volume loss on your face, or simply want to define your jawline or lips, a filler session is a strong option. Fillers are injected beneath the skin and are designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, or enhance facial contours by physically adding volume to areas that have thinned due to ageing, such as the cheeks, lips, under-eyes, or nasolabial folds (smile lines).

The procedure is usually done in a single visit, and you can return to most activities immediately. Some initial swelling or minor bruising is possible but subsides quickly (within a few days). Results can be seen immediately, though the “settled” look may take approximately 1 to 2 weeks. Booking now means you’ll present beautifully by Christmas.

4. “Firm & Fade” Body-Toning

For slightly broader rejuvenation, mild body-contouring, or tackling areas like stretch marks or loose skin, it may be worth your while. Firm & Fade body toning is a non-invasive or minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to tone, tighten, and improve the appearance of the skin on areas like the arms, abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. It is often used to reduce the look of sagging, cellulite, and uneven texture.

Even though some patients may require a couple of sessions for optimal results (depending on the severity of their concerns), most notice immediate tightening, while full results typically appear over 4 to 8 weeks as the skin remodels.

Therefore, booking early gives you time for at least one or two treatments before the holidays.

5. Bio-Enhancement / Wellness Infusions

Looking beyond aesthetics, our clinic also offers bio-enhancement therapies such as IV drips and NAD+ infusions, which deliver internal wellness and visible skin benefits with little downtime just before the holidays commence.

Plus, a single session can make a noticeable difference.

Our NAD+ infusion therapy offers anti-ageing benefits, improved mental focus, and reduced anxiety. This is because NAD+ is a coenzyme present in all living cells, playing a crucial role in energy production, cellular repair, and overall metabolism. An NAD+ infusion replenishes this naturally occurring biochemical in your body.

Meanwhile, our IV infusions can enhance physical performance in several ways, including boosting your immune system and promoting weight loss. Allowing you to walk into 2026 healthy and rejuvenated.

Wrapping Up The Year In Style

At Healand Clinic, every aesthetic treatment should begin with a full consultation so we can understand your unique needs and create a plan tailored to you.

With a bit of thoughtful planning, you can step into the holiday season feeling refreshed and camera-ready, with minimal disruption to your schedule.

Remember to book early and get ready to enjoy your most radiant festive season yet.
