The Best Holiday Glow Treatments at Simply Derm
The holiday season is officially here, and with it comes parties, photos, travel, and plenty of opportunities to look your best. The good news? Even if your calendar is packed, there’s still time to refresh your skin with treatments that deliver instant radiance and require little to no downtime. These options are perfect for anyone who wants a bright, hydrated, smooth complexion in the days and weeks ahead.
Here are the safest and most effective ways to get glowing before the holidays.
HydraFacial: Bright, Hydrated, Photo-Ready Skin
HydraFacial is one of the quickest ways to revive dull, tired winter skin and instantly boost hydration. This treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with antioxidant-rich hydration for a fresh, dewy look.
To customize your results, you can enhance your HydraFacial with:
• Boosters targeting brightness, plumping, or clearing
• Lymphatic drainage massage to de-puff and refine facial contours
• LED light therapy for added radiance and calming
It’s a flawless option before holiday parties, events, or photos.
Salt Facial: Smooth, Luminous Skin With No Downtime
The Salt Facial is a three-step treatment designed to brighten and refine your skin without peeling or irritation.
- Step 1 uses natural sea salt to gently exfoliate and smooth the surface.
- Step 2 infuses hydration using ultrasound technology to plump and support collagen.
- Step 3 finishes with LED light therapy to calm, clarify, and energize the skin.
The result is clean, even-toned, healthy-looking skin that glows instantly.
Dermaplane Facial: Silky, Makeup-Perfect Skin
Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair and surface buildup for a smooth, refined finish. This treatment creates an immediate glow and allows skincare and makeup to apply flawlessly.
Our Dermaplane Facial includes a hydrating mask and LED light therapy, which calm the skin, enhance brightness, and add to the overall radiance. It’s ideal before events, dinners, or holiday photos.
Aquagold Facial: The Holiday “Glass Skin” Treatment
The Aquagold Facial uses 24k gold microchannels to infuse customized serums directly into the skin. This treatment helps refine texture, improve tone, and create a polished, luminous finish that looks beautiful in person and on camera.
Most patients notice a radiant, refined glow within 24 hours, making it a great option for events throughout December and New Year’s.
LED Light Therapy: The Gentle Glow Booster
LED can be added to any facial or performed alone for a quick, calming, glow-boosting session.
• Red light supports collagen and radiance
• Blue light targets breakouts
• Both reduce inflammation caused by stress or travel
This is an excellent in-between treatment to maintain results throughout the season
Safe Glow Combinations
These pairings give an amplified glow with no downtime:
• HydraFacial + Booster + LED
• Dermaplane + HydraFacial
• Salt Facial + LED
• Dermaplane + LED
• Aquagold + light exfoliation timed before an event
Treatments like Fraxel, CO2, IPL, and deeper peels are best saved for the new year. All of these treatments have incredible results, but they cause redness, peeling, and downtime, making them less ideal during a busy season event. These are excellent choices for a January refresh, when schedules slow down, and you’re ready for more corrective, high-impact treatment in the New Year.
