It’s November, and we’re getting down to crunch time for holiday prep! As the weeks tick by and all the dinner gatherings and photo ops get closer, making time for skincare gets even harder—and that much more important!
Especially after the summer we’ve had, our skin (like the rest of us) is crying out for stress relief. But never fear, your favorite Bradenton spa is here! And we’ve got all the stress-relieving, youth-reviving, radiance-boosting, minimal-downtime treatments that will erase our summer stresses and get us glowing in time for Thanksgiving and beyond!
We’re talking hydrating facials, light peels, exfoliation treatments, and red-light therapy (many of which are also on sale at Bellagena through the end of the month).
Here’s what they are, how they work, and why we need them now more than ever.
A Holiday Skincare Philosophy from the Experts
With mere weeks (or less) to go before the holidays hit, we’re focused on enhancing skin’s radiance with treatments that provide immediate glow and freshness without downtime. These qualities actually accomplish a few things you’re going to need this season:
- Yes, quick results. There’s no more time for the long-term skincare approach.
- Summer stress erasure. This is more than just maintenance. On top of our usual summer sun exposure, we’ve all had a lot of stress in recent weeks. Even though they’re non-invasive, these are still treatments designed to make a striking difference.
- Minimal downtime. This goes with No. 1, but it also means there’s less chance of mis-timing your treatment and still being in mid-recovery right in the middle of your giant family dinner or office holiday party.
- A glow that lasts into 2025. As important as any one holiday event is, they all tend to pile on top of each other one after the other. With the right maintenance, these treatments will hold your glow through the weeks ahead.
Bellagena’s Signature Facial
Designed by our own expert estheticians and then personalized for every client, this is a Bradenton facial for Bradenton faces. On top of that, it combines many of the treatments that are ideal in the weeks leading up to the holiday season.
Start with your choice of exfoliation in consultation with your esthetician (microdermabrasion, dermaplane, or a light peel) followed by light therapy. Then you could receive an upgraded mask or even microcurrent to round out the experience.
And as part of our November 2024 spa sale, our Signature Facial comes with a free Sanitas deluxe Natural Moisture Factor Serum—the perfect at-home complement to maintain your post-facial glow all the way to New Year’s.
Hydro-Dermabrasion Exfoliation
Your glow is still there; it’s just hiding. Sun damage, old cells, clogged pores, dehydration, and just general stress all keep our glow from shining through. And that’s what exfoliation is for.
Rather than a traditional dermabrasion scrubber, our hydro-dermabrasion uses water to firmly—but gently—remove the outermost layers of glow-blocking damage, smoothing your overall texture and revealing healthy, youthful cells. At the same time, that water therapy ensures that your skin stays fully hydrated from the outside in.
Through the end of November 2024, when you book a hydro-dermabrasion exfoliation treatment at Bellagena, you’ll receive a free Sanitas Brighten Peel Pads & Vita C Serum duo kit.
Bradenton Light Therapy
LED red light therapy actually started with NASA as a wound-healing treatment for astronauts. That’s one heck of a medical science pedigree.
Today, there are many low-level at-home light treatments delivering little to no real effects. But our med spa harnesses LED light therapy through proven med spa technology. This treatment can be used to promote much faster healing for everything from eczema and acne to wrinkles and sun damage.
Once healed, it will be that much easier to keep your skin young and healthy through all your holiday events.
Bradenton Chemical Peels (Light)
Now is not the time for a deep peel. But today’s chemical peels have been carefully formulated to precision depths. And a light peel before the holidays—performed by a qualified esthetician—can give you the perfect combination of thorough exfoliation without long-lasting redness and recovery time. And even a light peel can even skin tone, smooth texture, and reveal a striking glow that happens to look especially great when illuminated by Christmas lights and crackling fires.
Through November 2024, all Sanitas chemical peels at Bellagena are buy one, get one (of equal or lesser value) for $25 off.
