Your Holiday Beauty Plan: When to Book Facials, Fillers & More

As the holiday season approaches, now is the perfect time to plan your aesthetic treatments so you glow at every gathering. At Skinfluence in Calgary, we believe in strategic timing for facials, fillers and other treatments to maximize results and minimize downtime. Here’s your guide to scheduling with confidence, and why our clients trust us to deliver consistent results.

Why timing matters

When you plan ahead, you give your skin and body the best chance to respond, recover and radiate at just the right moment. Whether you’re booking a medical-grade facial, filler or laser service, the treatment-to-event timeline matters. At Skinfluence we offer everything from custom facials, chemical peels and injectables to laser skin rejuvenation.

By understanding when to book, you’ll avoid last-minute worry and ensure your look is at its best for holiday photos, parties, and family events.

Typical timelines and what to book when

  • Custom Facial / Express or Medical-Grade Facial (1–2 weeks before your event)
    Enjoy a fresh, healthy glow with minimal downtime. Skinfluence’s Custom Facial includes a double cleanse, exfoliation, steam, extractions, and a soothing mask — perfect for that last-minute radiance boost.


  • More Intensive Facial (Chemical Peel or Microneedling) (4–6 weeks before your event)
    Ideal for deeper rejuvenation and long-lasting results. These treatments help improve tone, texture, and fine lines while giving your skin time to recover and reveal a renewed glow.


  • Dermal Fillers / Lip Filler / Injectables (3–4 weeks before your event)
    Allows time for swelling to subside and results to settle beautifully. Many clients love the natural, balanced look achieved at Skinfluence.

  • Laser Skin Rejuvenation or Skin-Tightening Treatments (4–8 weeks before your event)
    Perfect for refining skin tone, boosting collagen, and enhancing firmness. Treatments like ClearLift and DYE VL at Skinfluence help you look refreshed and confident just in time for the holidays.

How to prioritise your holiday beauty list

  • Decide your main event date. Back-calendar from that date.
  • Choose your goal. Glow (facial), volume (fillers), rejuvenation (laser).
  • Book your consultation now. At Skinfluence, every treatment begins with a tailored plan — emphasising best-practice standards and personalized care.
  • Factor in recovery time. Even gentle treatments may need a day or two of downtime.
  • Stack smart. You might pair a gentle facial closer to the holidays with a deeper treatment a month earlier for best results.
  • Real client feedback — building trust

    "I came to Dr. Habib for a lip filler consultation… Instead, I had one of the most positive and empowering experiences of my life. … His honest approach saved me from an unnecessary procedure and provided immense peace of mind.” This comment highlights the integrity and patient-first culture at Skinfluence.

    Another satisfied client on laser hair removal wrote:

    Michelle is the best… she always ensures you’re doing well throughout the entire process and is very friendly, easy going, knowledgeable, professional…”

    Bonus tips for a truly radiant season

  • Lock in your free or discounted consult early — many clinics fill up fast during the festive period.
  • Stay hydrated and protect your skin after treatments — SPF is non-negotiable.
  • Avoid major treatments (like aggressive laser or deep peels) in the week directly before a big event — just in case.
  • Maintenance counts. Regular facials and good skincare between treatments prolong your results.
  • Ready to schedule?

    If you’re looking ahead to photos, parties and holiday celebrations, now’s the moment to act. At Skinfluence, we’ll guide you through your personalised plan — whether it’s a quick glow-facial, a subtle filler enhancement, or a deeper rejuvenation treatment.

    Book your consultation today and cross “radiant for the holidays” off your to-do list.
