‘Tis the season to strive to end the year with a bang! Holidays have a way of getting everyone into a festive mood. Medspas and aesthetic practices can capitalize on the spirit of the season by helping their clients look their best and feel less stressed in the process.
A warm welcome, cozy treatment rooms, soft gowns, and creative packages of products and treatments entice clients to spend more time with you as they seek your expertise to maximize their skin and inner health during the cold, dry and busy holiday season.
Some of the most popular treatments right now are noninvasive, wash-and-wear procedures that can be done during a lunch hour or before or after work. Skincare services from head to toe are also trending for clients from October through December, as are luxury skincare products and gift certificates that clients can gift to friends and loved ones.
According to board certified plastic surgeon Mark H. Schwartz, MD in New York City, “December is one of our busiest months for non-surgical minimally invasive treatments. Everyone wants to look their best in time for family events and holiday parties. One of our most popular treatments is lip enhancement with Juvederm Volbella (Allergan). It’s...

A global panel of 14 aesthetic physicians convened to review off-label use of diluted and hyperdiluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA, Radiesse) for skin laxity on the face and body and develop best practice recommendations. The panel reviewed the literature and their own experiences and found strong evidence for neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis following injection of diluted (1:1) and hyperdiluted (1:2 or greater) CaHA with the most promising outcomes occurring in the decolletage.
Their preparation guidelines recommend at least 20 passes between syringes to ensure product homogeneity and immediate injection as the product separates quickly. Due to the fast separation, the consensus panel recommends that the injector perform the dilution rather than a nurse practitioner or assistant.
When examining specific areas of injections, their treatment guidelines include:
Face. Diluted ratio of 1:1 is recommended with diluted product injected in the immediate subdermal plane and fanned across the cheeks and jawline to improve laxity in the mid- and lower face. They offer no recommendations for use in the temple or forehead.
Neck and Decolletage. Hyperdiluted CaHA (1:2 to...
