Celebrations
December fills up quickly: work parties, family gatherings, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. Skin treatments need different lead times, so the trick is to book each one at the right point. Here is the timeline, counted back from Christmas Day.

Start laser hair removal
A full course is 6 to 8 sessions, four to six weeks apart: six months or more. Starting in early summer means the course is well under way by the party season.

Start a course of chemical peels
For dull skin, uneven tone or rough texture: three to six peels, two to four weeks apart, timed so the last one is done a fortnight before your first party.

IPL for redness or sun spots
Summer sun spots darken and flake away over a few days after each session, and redness fades over the following weeks. Two or three sessions before December make a visible difference for many people.

A laser session that is clear by the parties
If you are part-way through a laser course, the treated hairs shed over the week or two after a session, so this is the last one to book before the parties begin.

Nothing new on the face from here
Finish any peel or IPL session by now, so redness and flaking have settled before the first invitation.

A HydraGlow facial
Book it two to five days before the party you care most about: 45 to 60 minutes, minimal downtime, and you can go straight back to work.

Questions about Christmas and New Year
For a full course, yes: it takes six months or more. One or two sessions before Christmas will reduce hair a little, and starting now means most of the course is done by the summer.
