December is, for most of us, a month we enter with the best intentions. We promise ourselves that this year we’ll buy gifts on time, that we won’t run through shops at the last minute, that we’ll have more time for ourselves and our loved ones. And then reality happens: days pass faster than we’d like, events pile up, to-do lists grow longer, and we realize we’re once again racing against the calendar.

The same thing happens with our skin. We tell ourselves we’ll take care of it on time — schedule a treatment, refresh the glow, bring back that soft December radiance… but life moves faster than our plans. One morning we look in the mirror and admit: maybe it’s time to do something — and to do it soon. The good news? December is far from too late. In fact, it’s the ideal moment for gentle, effective, zero-downtime treatments that refresh the skin and prepare you for all the festive moments ahead.

My favourite – PRX Peel
If someone had told me years ago that we’d be performing an acid-based treatment without peeling, crusting, or weeks of recovery, I would have laughed. But today PRX is something we perform almost daily in December. What I love most is that it works even for those who come in saying, “Dr. Mia, I have a party on Friday, a photoshoot on Saturday, a family lunch on Sunday… I can’t be red!” No problem. We leave PRX on the skin for a few minutes, massage it in, and the skin gets that “wake-up” effect. You can continue with your day immediately — no redness, no pain, no hiding. Honestly? It’s my December go-to.

Mesotherapy
My love for mesotherapy has lasted many years, but the new-generation formulas — like Meso Warthon — are something special. This gentle, comfortable mesotherapy is not just hydration; it boosts collagen production and makes the skin appear fuller, healthier, and more vital. When a patient returns after a few days and says, “You know what? My skin really looks different!” … it reminds me why I adore this treatment.

Gentle laser peel
When people hear the word “laser,” many imagine a week of hiding at home. But with very gentle laser peels, the story is entirely different. The skin becomes softer, more even, the dull skin texture disappears, and downtime is minimal. It’s my favourite option for those who want a little extra freshness without cancelling half of December.

Deep skin hydration
If I had to choose one skin booster that is truly “proven to work,” it would be Volite. When added to PRX or mesotherapy, the skin becomes plumper, smoother, and gains that healthy, natural glow that creams simply cannot achieve. It’s not a filler — it’s long-lasting hydration support that works wonders in the dry winter months.

Botox – the alpha and omega
And when we speak about natural freshness, we must not forget Botox. This is the treatment that many non-experts still perceive as “too much,” while in reality it is one of the gentlest tools when used thoughtfully. Botox relaxes a tense expression, softens harsh lines, and reduces the visual weight of areas that make us look older — while keeping the face alive and natural. The most beautiful part is that the true effect appears after about 14 days, when a person suddenly looks more rested, fresher, less angry or tired. This “revolutionarily fresh” appearance is why Botox remains in first place from January to December.

So what’s the best gift this year?
Treat yourself to something meaningful in all this December rush. And at the same time, you can give confidence and well-being to your loved ones. A gift voucher for care, freshness, and a better feeling in one’s skin is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. The beauty of December isn’t in perfection — it’s in allowing ourselves a little gentleness, a little pause, and a little glow… even on our skin.
