December comes with cameras, celebrations, and a packed social calendar – which means your skin deserves a little extra attention. As an A-list facialist trusted before red carpets and major events, Nilam has curated her top five pre-Christmas treatments to help you look rested, lifted, and glowing through the entire season.
And with something special happening for all December appointments (more on that at the end), now is the perfect time to book in and start your festive skin prep.
Whether you want instant radiance, firming, sculpting, or just a fresher version of you, these are the treatments she recommends every year to prepare her clients for the festivities.
1. CollagenWave – For a lifted, sculpted, holiday-ready glow
What it is:
CollagenWave uses advanced radiofrequency to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving elasticity. It’s completely non-invasive, with no downtime.
What it does:
Expect a tighter, firmer, more sculpted look immediately – with results that continue to improve over the following weeks.
Why it’s perfect before Christmas:
It gives that “I’ve slept 10 hours” brightness and lift that lasts through all your events.
Nilam says:
“This is my go-to in the lead-up to any big event. It gives an instant lifted look, tightens the skin, and creates that fresh, youthful radiance that lasts for weeks.” – Nilam
2. HydraFacial – Your December skin reset
What it is:
A multi-step facial that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts congestion, and infuses the skin with hydrating serums using vortex technology.
What it does:
Clears blocked pores, removes dullness, boosts hydration, and leaves the skin smooth and glowing.
Why it’s perfect before Christmas:
Makeup sits beautifully after a HydraFacial – ideal for parties, family photos, and big nights out.
Nilam says:
“If you want glassy, dewy skin that makeup glides over, HydraFacial is the one.” – Nilam
3. EMFUSION – The red-carpet prep secret
What it is:
A deeply hydrating infusion treatment that uses advanced microcurrent + iontophoresis technology to push active ingredients deeper into the skin.
What it does:
Plumps fine lines, evens tone, boosts radiance, and leaves the skin looking expensive, smooth, and ‘camera-ready.’
Why it’s perfect before Christmas:
It gives instant luminosity – ideal 24-72 hours before a big event.
Nilam says:
“This is the treatment I book for clients before major events – it gives instant ‘expensive skin’.” – Nilam
4. Skin Peels – For clarity, brightness & a fresh canvas
What they are:
Gentle, clinic-strength exfoliating peels that remove dead skin cells, refine texture, and brighten tone. Dermaspa offers several levels, all chosen based on your skin type and sensitivity.
What they do:
Reduce dullness, smooth rough patches, fade uneven tone, and create a healthy glow.
Why they’re perfect before Christmas:
A light peel gives you that fresh “new skin” look – ideal if your skin feels flat, congested, or winter-dry.
Nilam says:
“A gentle peel brings life back to the skin and removes that dull winter layer.” – Nilam
5. Signature Brows – The finishing touch for polished, lifted features
What it is:
A bespoke brow treatment tailored by Dermaspa’s brow experts – usually including shaping, tinting, or lamination depending on the look you're after.
What it does:
Lifts the eyes, frames the face, and creates a more defined, polished finish.
Why it’s perfect before Christmas:
Brows make a disproportionately big difference in photos, at parties, and when you want to look ‘done’ with minimal effort.
Nilam says:
“Brows make the biggest difference in how lifted and polished you look.” – Nilam
