With the holiday season drawing closer, you may not have time to wait for the long-term treatments to take effect, so opting for a few instant beauty fixes may do the trick! The right procedure can restore your youthful and beautiful glow, allowing you to look your best during this time of the year. 

But what are some worthwhile treatments that you can choose around the holiday season? What can you expect from these “instant” fixes? Dr. Ariel Ostad provides a selection of treatments that can help you look your best with no downtime. 

How Instant Are the Results

For the most part, many of the instant non-surgical cosmetic procedures are noninvasive, leading to no discomfort or downtime. Most patients can see some improvement from the moment they leave the practice. The skin begins to feel smoother and plumper, depending on the treatment performed. Other treatments may take up to two weeks to show their final results.

Top Procedures to Try

One great advantage of non-invasive cosmetic procedures is that they take little to no time to heal. Not only does this decrease the chances of complications, but it also allows you to return to your daily routine right away.

• Microdermabrasion 

If you have age spots or any other discoloration areas, microdermabrasion may be able to fix this problem. The procedure works by exfoliating the dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, improving pigmentation conditions like brown spots, acne scars, and more. 

The procedure can be used on any part of your body from your face to your neck, chest, and hands. Aside from pigmentation, microdermabrasion can also reduce wrinkles and peach fuzz, allowing you to maintain smooth skin and a younger look. Various treatments like the Oxylight® facial use microdermabrasion for a rejuvenated glow.

• DiamondGlow® 

The DiamondGlow® procedure can help you glow from the inside out. This treatment is the perfect option for men and women who notice their skin is looking dull and looking to improve their skin texture.

Using a diamond-tip wand, this procedure exfoliates and extracts the impurities from your pores, creating a clean canvas. The treatment is finished with a serum infusion, which will bring a healthy glow back into your skin. Within 72 hours, you’ll be able to see an improvement with fine lines, dryness, radiance, congested pores, hyperpigmentation, dull complexion, uneven skin texture and roughness! The best part is that there is no down time and the facial can be performed right before an important event! 

• BOTOX® Cosmetic

If you have fine lines and wrinkles caused by excessive facial movement (i.e., dynamic wrinkles), BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can help you reduce them. Based on a purified form of botulinum toxin, this injectable can temporarily relax the muscles, blocking the signals that cause movement. 

While the effects will not be immediate, they are faster than the average cosmetic treatment. Within a few days, you may notice that the skin becomes smoother, and the wrinkles are no longer visible. Full results will be shown within one to two weeks and the effects may last for about three to five months.

• Dermal Fillers

If you are lacking facial volume, dermal fillers, like JUVÉDERM®, can help add volume and moisture back into the skin and can be injected to smooth wrinkles, lines, folds to enhance your features, and restore volume to hollow areas like your cheeks, under eyes, temples, lips, and jawline. Based on hyaluronic acid, they immediately fill the gaps underneath the skin, making the treated area appear voluminous. A slight immediate result may be shown after your treatment but full results can be seen within one to two weeks after. Dermal fillers last for about five months to one year before you need a maintenance session.
