Have you sorted your Christmas plans? Presents wrapped, turkey ordered – but what about your skin? Don’t worry, MPM Aesthetic Medicals in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham has your Christmas skin prep covered!

Planning Facials and Injectables for Glowing Skin:

Whether you’re considering a rejuvenating Hydrafacial, injectable treatments like Profhilo® and Polynucleotides, or something more advanced, the key to success is planning and timing. Here’s how to ensure you’re radiating confidence at all your Christmas festivities:

Dermal Fillers for Subtle Enhancement:

The good news: dermal fillers deliver instant results! However, we recommend 1-3 days of recovery after treatment, depending on the area. Slight swelling or bruising can occur, resolving within 3 days.

Lip Fillers: Allow at least a week for your lips to settle and achieve a natural look. Final shape and volume can take 2-4 weeks. Avoid makeup on the day of treatment. Here’s what to avoid for 24 hours after:

Alcohol
Strenuous exercise
Prolonged heat exposure (saunas, hot yoga)
Aspirin and ibuprofen
Massages or facials
Anti-Wrinkle Injections for a Smooth Finish:

Unlike fillers, anti-wrinkle injections take a bit longer (5-10 days) to show their magic. Schedule them at least 2 weeks before events for peak results. Aftercare is similar to fillers: avoid the above for 24 hours.

Profhilo® & Polynucleotides: Deep Hydration & Elasticity

These injectables are perfect for pre-Christmas prep, offering deep hydration and improved elasticity.

Profhilo®: Uses hyaluronic acid to stimulate collagen and elastin for a smoother, firmer complexion. Schedule at least 2 weeks before your event, with two treatments spaced one month apart. Profhilo® often delivers refreshed skin after the first session.
Polynucleotides: This popular treatment targets early signs of ageing (under eyes, mouth, full face) for a plumped-up appearance. They offer hydration with no downtime, though long-term benefits take a few months (3-4 treatments recommended). Minor redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, resolving within days. Aftercare is similar to fillers.
Chemical Peels for a Radiant Glow

What we love about pre-event peels:

Brighter Skin: Dead skin cells are removed, revealing a fresher, more radiant look.
Smoother Texture: Peels exfoliate, reducing rough patches and promoting a smoother surface.
Improved Tone: Reduced pigmentation, sunspots, and mild scarring for a more even tone.
Clearer Skin: Peels help unclog pores and reduce oil production.

Key Points to Consider:

Chemical peels come in various strengths. Stronger peels lead to more visible peeling, usually starting 48 hours post-treatment and lasting 4-5 days. Plan your peel at least a week before events.
Consider a low-intensity peel for a subtle glow without significant peeling.
Always consult a skin expert at MPM to determine the best peel strength for your skin type.
Schedule Microneedling a Week Beforehand

Microneedling offers long-term skin rejuvenation and collagen boosting. While a series is recommended for optimal results, even one session can improve texture and hydration.

Pre-treatment prep:

Avoid tanning products for 4 weeks before treatment.
Discontinue antibiotics 4 weeks prior to your appointment.
Avoid active skincare ingredients (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, exfoliants) for 7 days before.
Post-treatment: Expect some redness for a few days. Schedule microneedling at least a week before events for a fresh look.

Lunchtime Laser Glow

For a quick fix with no downtime, consider our Rejuvenating Laser Facial. Many patients see results within days, making it perfect for last-minute prep. The treatment can be tailored to your needs, targeting specific areas like the face, décolletage, or hands.

Schedule your laser treatment at least 7 days in advance to allow your skin to settle and for any mild redness or swelling to subside.
