Glow Through the Holidays: Your IFFH November Skin Prep Guide

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.

Great for:

  • Dull skin
  • Dryness
  • Congestion
  • Makeup prep before photos

Hydrafacial Wednesdays: $150

5. Microneedling: Best Done Early

For smoother texture, smaller pores, and improved acne scars, schedule microneedling:

  • At least 2–3 weeks before parties
  • Now, in early November for the perfect December glow

Glow Through the Holidays Bundle:

  • 1 Deluxe Hydrafacial
  • 1 Microneedling session
  • Free ZO travel kit
  • All for only $450

6. Build Your Home Routine With ZO Skin Health

90% of your results come from what you do daily.

Most popular November must-haves:

  • Exfoliating Polish — instant glow
  • Daily Power Defense — repair & barrier support
  • Growth Factor Serum — fine line smoothing
  • Hydrating Crème — holiday dryness hero

Pair your products with your personalized CaptureID scan.
