Instant Christmas Glow: Treatments for Gorgeous Skin in Seconds

If you’re already getting ready to look radiant for these holidays, you know that you don’t just need a sequined dress to be perfect or a pair of XL earrings that make your look appear more elegant. The beauty part is also essential, and we’re not only talking about makeup. There’s no point in using top cosmetics if the skin isn’t properly prepared.

To bring out your best version during Christmas, it is advisable to resort to treatments that care for the skin in depth. You can start now by trying vitamin-based techniques or deep cleanses, or if you’re the type who leaves everything to the last minute, your best ally will always be a flash treatment.

These beauty options are characterized by instant effects. They are therefore treatments you should undergo on the day of the appointment, the day before, or even some the same week. They achieve a lifting effect and bring luminosity and an even skin tone in a few minutes. Do you want to know which ones are favourites?

An in-salon treatment

If you’re looking for a powerful and effective in-salon treatment, try Thermage FLX at Maribel Yébenes. This is the most powerful radiofrequency available on the market today and it works perfectly in just one annual session. The results are visible after the treatment ends, but its effect intensifies between 6 and 8 weeks later.

How does it work? It safely heats the dermis reaching the deepest layers, producing a double effect: on one hand it stimulates the synthesis of existing collagen and on the other the creation of new collagen due to collagen denaturation. This means it is a tightening, lifting, and firming treatment that firms the skin.

Effective Ampoules

If you prefer a cosmetic product to use at home, we recommend the SkinClinic Flash Ampoules. They are designed to provide an immediate lifting effect, ideal for special occasions or as a makeup base. This formula combines actives such as Dermotenseur (5%), which provides an immediate and lasting tightening effect, and Argireline (4%), a peptide that reduces wrinkle depth by inhibiting muscle contraction.

Together with Gatuline Expression, these ampoules help to smooth the skin visibly, reducing wrinkles and expression lines, providing a smoothing and toning effect in record time. In addition, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates, improving skin texture and elasticity.

Facial Massage

Opting for facial massages and exercises to tone, oxygenate and bring luminosity and well-being to the face is also a very good idea. Disciplines such as Facial Yoga, Kobido massage, and other exercises help us notably in recovering facial musculature.


This is how this Japanese massage tool is applied in Tsuki.

If you want to go one step further, try the YA-MAN Japanese massage tool, which has become a top-seller in the Asian market, Medi Lift Plus in Tsuki Japanese Cosmetics. It is a silicone facial mask with stimulators that act on the areas and muscles of the face responsible for supporting our face. The EMS combined with customized electrode configurations effectively addresses the firmness problem that concerns us so much.
