Holiday Glow Plan: What to Book Before Your December Events
Holiday parties, family photos, New Year’s Eve: December is when everyone wants their best skin. The trick is timing, because some treatments show results the same day and others take weeks. Here’s a simple plan for San Diego and LA clients, with what to book and when.
What to book, and when
| Treatment | Results show | Book it | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aqua Facial | Same day | 2 to 5 days before your event | $49($885 MXN ÷ 18) |
| HIFU, full face | Gradually, best around 6 months | Now, for results that build into the new year | $166 promo($2,995 MXN ÷ 18) |
| Laser hair removal | Over several sessions | November or December, to be ready by summer | $9–$50 per area($165–$895 MXN ÷ 18) |
US dollar amounts are converted from Mexican pesos at 18 MXN per US dollar and rounded. The HIFU price is a limited-time promotion; the regular price is $376 USD ($6,775 MXN).
Aqua Facial: the quick holiday glow
The Aqua Facial cleans, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in one session. Skin looks fresher and smoother right away, with no downtime, which makes it the easiest treatment to book a few days before a party or photos.
HIFU: a longer-term lift
HIFU uses focused ultrasound to tighten skin on the jawline, chin, cheeks and brows. It’s not an instant fix: new collagen builds over the following months, with the best results around 6 months and lasting 1 to 2 years. Starting now means firmer skin through spring. Read our HIFU vs. Ultherapy guide.

Make it one easy trip
Our Plaza Río clinic is about 10 minutes from the San Ysidro crossing and open 7 days, including Sundays. You can combine an Aqua Facial with a laser session in the same visit. If you drive, add a Pase Médico for $46 USD ($820 MXN ÷ 18) to use the faster medical lane back. December weekends get busy at the border and at the clinic, so book early.

Frequently asked questions
How many days before an event should I get a facial?
For an Aqua Facial, 2 to 5 days before is ideal: your skin has settled and still has that fresh glow.
Will HIFU work in time for the holidays?
HIFU results build gradually, peaking around 6 months. If you start now, you’ll see the most improvement into spring.
Can I combine treatments in one visit?
Often, yes. For example, an Aqua Facial and a laser hair removal session. We’ll confirm at your free consultation.
