November arrives with cooler weather, holiday parties, family photos, and a calendar full of events. This is the season where everyone wants that effortless “holiday glow”… but glow doesn’t happen by accident.
At the Institute for Functional Health MedSpa, our Functional Beauty approach helps you look radiant from the root, not just the surface. That means pairing professional treatments with personalized skincare and timing everything just right.
Here’s your complete November skin prep plan. Check out our Holiday Specials HERE.
1. Start With a Professional Skin Assessment
Before choosing any treatment, get a clear picture of what your skin actually needs.
Our CaptureID scan shows:
- Pore congestion
- Pigmentation
- Sensitivity
- Wrinkles & elasticity
- Hydration levels
- UV damage
This helps our injectors and estheticians design a plan that’s scientifically based—no guessing.
2. November Is Prime Time for Toxin
If you want smoother skin for Thanksgiving or early December events, book toxin the first 1–2 weeks of November.
Why?
- It takes 7–14 days to fully kick in.
- Results last 3–4 months — through New Year’s.
- Prevents “holiday photo lines.”
Our November special: Freeze the Frown – $9/unit when you purchase 30+ units.
3. Last Call for Filler Before Holiday Photos
Filler can cause temporary swelling, so we recommend doing it at least:
- 2–3 weeks before a major event
- Especially for lips or cheeks
Popular November choices:
- Lip Enhancement (Kysse)
- Cheek Contour
- Chin or Jawline balancing
Our Holiday Party Prep Package pairs 40 units of toxin with lip or cheek filler — perfect for holiday glam.
4. Hydrafacial: The Perfect Pre-Event Treatment
If you want instant glow with zero downtime, a Hydrafacial the week of your event is ideal.

- Dull skin
- Dryness
