Festive season glow – quick and effective treatments before the important summer festivities

Summer is full of celebrations, and everyone wants to look and feel their best. When it comes to skincare, certain questions often arise when time is limited and the desired result is a perfect glow. Here, we answer the typical questions clients have in mind before the big party:

Q: How do I know which treatment would be best for me?

A: I always recommend starting your treatment relationship with us with a consultation. You can also book an appointment directly for the treatment that interests you; we always hold a consultation before each treatment. During the initial consultation, we will identify your treatment needs and make a plan.

Q: Which treatments are best suited for increasing skin glow?

A: At my reception, I prefer botulinum treatments for the upper face, Profhilo treatments, Rejuran polynucleotide treatments, mesotherapy treatments, microneedling treatments and IPL Lumecca treatments. Each of the above treatments affects the skin differently, but the end result is a smoother skin texture and/or tone. However, some treatments take a while before the final result is seen and recovery from treatment varies, so I recommend starting your skincare planning as early as possible to achieve the desired results in time.

Q: I only have a few days before celebrations. Which treatments will give the fastest and most visible results?

A: Klinik Linnea’s services include a wide range of treatments to give visible and fast results. My personal favourites, which I include in clients’ treatment plans, especially before the party, are light acid treatments and resurfacing, HydraFacial and Hollywood Laser Peel. These treatments have zero to minimal recovery time, so treatments can even be done the day before the party. After the treatments, the skin is smoother and more radiant immediately.

Q: I’m planning a wedding/wedding party and would like to schedule treatments well in advance. When should I start?

A: In most cases, I recommend booking your first treatment or consultation about six months before the day of the celebration. This gives us time to achieve visible, lasting and optimal results, taking into account each client’s individual needs. Skin resurfacing and the effects of different treatments take time to develop, and if you want the most comprehensive change possible, please take this into account when planning your booking.

Q: What else can I do at home to ensure a glowing complexion?

A: One of the cornerstones of my skincare routine is effective but gentle exfoliation. Exfoliating removes dead cells from the skin’s surface, which makes skin look instantly smoother and glowing. 

I use ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish almost every day. I also do a pHformula home application of D.E.R.M.A.B.R.A.S.I.O.N cream once a week. ZO Skin Health Enzymatic Peel overnight is my secret to glowing skin before an important event. The day before a party or the morning of, I like to use a fabric mask in addition to exfoliating to bring extra moisture and add a glow to my skin. 

If you have any questions about the suitability of the different treatment options for you or any other questions about the treatment process – I’m happy to answer them via email or in a consultation!
