Written and Checked by: Dr Duncan Brennand (GMC 4341662) & Emma Appleby
Our combined experience ensures your skin looks refreshed, confident and event ready throughout December. Led by Dr Duncan Brennand, Medical Director and led aesthetic doctor at L’Atelier, and supported by our expert skin therapists Emma, Bronte and Kate, every treatment in this guide is selected and timed to give you the best possible plan for your December skin regime… and the inevitable parties that follow!
Profhilo delivers ultra hydrating hyaluronic acid beneath the skin, creating improved firmness, elasticity and a soft, radiant glow. As it stimulates collagen and elastin over time, it is one of our favourite winter skin boosters.
Why now: Its results build gradually across two sessions, so treating now ensures beautifully hydrated skin for the festive period.
These advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatments remodel collagen at multiple depths to improve firmness, reduce laxity and enhance facial contours. Ideal for softening jowls, defining the jawline and smoothing fine lines.
Why now: There is minimal downtime, but optimal tightening develops over several weeks. Starting now means visible improvement by Christmas and continued benefits into the new year.
We love Sofwave for tackling those deeper skin issues. Sofwave uses parallel ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the deeper layers of the skin without affecting the surface. It smooths lines around the eyes, enhances brow position and improves lower face definition.
Why now: Results appear gradually, making this the ideal mid timeline treatment for subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation.
Julaine (JULÄINE™) is a NEW advanced bio stimulating injectable designed to gradually strengthen the skin from within. Using PLLA (poly L lactic acid), it encourages long term collagen production to improve firmness, refine texture and restore natural volume where the skin has thinned with time. Unlike traditional fillers that give an immediate result, Julaine works more progressively, creating a lifted, smoother and more youthful appearance over several weeks.
Why now: Treating at the three week mark allows collagen stimulation to begin well before Christmas, giving you early improvements in skin quality and structure, with results that continue to build into the new year.
A light, glow focused peel that brightens dull skin, softens fine lines and improves luminosity with minimal downtime.
Why now: It provides the ideal pre event polish, leaving the skin smooth, fresh and refined for parties and early festive gatherings.
This elevated HydraFacial includes targeted boosters for firming, brightening or clarifying depending on your needs. It delivers deeper nourishment and a noticeable glow.
Why now: Results peak in the days following treatment, making it perfect timing for social events two weeks out.
ThermaVein treats small thread veins using precise thermal energy. It is especially useful for redness around the nose and cheeks that becomes more visible in cold weather.
Why now: Minor redness settles quickly, allowing your skin to look clearer in holiday photos and gatherings.
Winter can leave lips dehydrated, deflated or lacking definition. Our lip hydration treatments and subtle lip fillers create soft volume, improved contour and a naturally enhanced shape that photographs beautifully. The goal is not to look “done”, but simply fresher and smoother.
Why now: Two weeks allows any minor swelling to settle so your lips look naturally plump and perfectly balanced for Christmas events.
If you have regular anti-wrinkle injections (botox on Harley Street), this is the ideal time for a seasonal refresh. A small top up smooths expression lines, refines the forehead and brightens the eye area without altering your natural movement.
Why now: Anti wrinkle treatments typically take around 7 to 14 days to reach their full effect, which aligns perfectly with your office Christmas parties or holiday calendar.
It is almost time, so what are the best treatments to have at that last minute before the holidays begin? You can’t go wrong with Hydrafacial, with its great and immediate ‘glow’ effect and with no downtime, its the perfect last minute treatment before Christmas break begins.
HydraFacial Classic or the L’Atelier Bespoke Facial
These treatments focus on delivering deep hydration, smoothness and a bright, even finish. HydraFacial provides advanced cleansing and hydration, while our bespoke facial is tailored by Kate and Bronte to your skin’s unique winter needs.
Why now: This is your last chance to perfect your skin before we close for the festive break. Expect refined pores, revived hydration and a healthy, luminous glow.

Guided by Dr Duncan Brennand, and delivered with the expertise of Emma, Kate and Bronte, your skin receives personalised, medical grade care at every stage of the journey. Whether your priority is lifting, brightening or deep hydration, our team will curate a plan that supports your calendar, your lifestyle and your winter skin needs.
