How to Look & Feel Your Best for the Holidays: Book These Treatments Now at The Rae Clinic in Evans & Augusta, GA
The holidays have a way of sneaking up on you. One minute it’s October and you have all the time in the world and the next it’s the week before Thanksgiving and you’re wondering why you didn’t book that Botox appointment two months ago.
We see it every year. And every year we say the same thing: the patients who look the most radiant at holiday parties, family photos, and on New Year’s Eve are the ones who started planning in October.
So here’s your sign.
At The Rae Clinic in Evans, Georgia, October is one of our busiest and most exciting months because it’s the month where smart, proactive patients lock in their holiday treatments and set themselves up to walk into the season feeling genuinely confident from head to toe. Not rushed. Not scrambling. Just glowing.
This is your complete holiday treatment guide from everything to book, when to book it, and how to feel as good as you look all season long.
Why October Is the Magic Month for Holiday Aesthetic Prep
Here’s the thing about aesthetic treatments: most of them need time to work their magic before you’re camera-ready. Botox takes 3-7 days to settle. Filler swelling needs 1-2 weeks to fully resolve. Laser treatments and chemical peels require healing time before revealing their best results. And wellness protocols like peptides and weight loss build momentum over weeks and months.
October is the sweet spot. Book now and you’ll be fully healed, settled, and glowing by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, with plenty of time for touch-ups before New Year’s if needed.
Wait until November? You’re cutting it close. Wait until December? You’re stressing yourself out, and stress is terrible for your skin.
Book in October. Thank yourself in November.
The Holiday Treatment Checklist: What to Book at The Rae Clinic This October
Neurotoxins - Book by Mid-October for Thanksgiving
Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Daxxify are the ultimate holiday prep treatments that are quick, effective, and deliver results that last straight through the New Year. Book your neurotoxin appointment by mid-October, and you’ll be perfectly settled and refreshed for Thanksgiving. If you’re due for a touch-up before Christmas, schedule that for late November.
From $10/unit | Results last 3-4 months | Zero downtime
Dermal Fillers - Book Early October for Best Results
Filler is one of the most requested treatments heading into the holiday season, and for good reason. Whether you’re refreshing your lip filler, restoring cheek volume, or booking a full facial balancing treatment, early October gives your filler plenty of time to fully settle before the cameras come out at Thanksgiving. Swelling after filler can take 1-2 weeks to fully resolve, so the earlier you book, the better.
From $400/syringe | Results are immediate with full settle in 1-2 weeks
Vi Peel Chemical Peels - Start Your Series Now
October is peak peel season in Augusta, Georgia, and if you want your skin looking its most luminous for the holidays, now is the time to start. A series of 3 Vi Peel treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, started in early October, delivers dramatic improvements in skin tone, texture, and radiance right in time for December events. Sun damage from summer, uneven tone, fine lines, acne scarring… Vi Peel addresses all of it.
Starting at $350 | Series of 3 recommended for best results
Laser Treatments - October Is Prime Time
IPL, fractional resurfacing, and carbon facials are most effective in the fall, when UV exposure is lower, leading to safer treatment, better healing, and more dramatic results. A laser treatment or package booked in October gives your skin time to fully resurface and reveal its best self before holiday events begin. Our Full Face IPL & Carbon Facial package, priced at $600, is one of our most popular holiday prep treatments.
From $75 per session | Packages from $600
Microneedling - Collagen Results Take Time, Start Now
Microneedling results build over time as collagen production increases, which means the treatments you book in October show up most beautifully in November and December. If you want visibly smoother, tighter, more radiant skin for the holidays, your microneedling series starts now. Add PRP for amplified, genuinely next-level results.
Kybella - Your Last Chance for Holiday Results
If you’ve been thinking about Kybella for double chin reduction, October is your last realistic window for holiday results. Kybella works gradually; results build over 6-8 weeks per session, meaning treatments booked in early October will be showing up beautifully by late November and December. Don’t wait until November and wish you’d started sooner.
$1,200 per session | Most patients need 2-4 sessions for optimal results
Holiday Wellness Prep, Feel As Good As You Look
Looking your best for the holidays is only half the equation. Feeling your best, energized, clear-headed, healthy, and genuinely well, is what makes the season actually enjoyable rather than just survivable. Here’s how The Rae Wellness Concierge supports you through the most demanding time of the year:
IV Therapy - Your Holiday Season Secret Weapon
Between travel, late nights, holiday food, and the restless schedule of Q4, your body takes a beating during the holiday season. IV therapy is one of the fastest, most effective ways to replenish, recover, and keep your energy and immunity up all season long.
Our most popular holiday drips:
The Energy Drip | $150 — B-Complex, B12, and Magnesium for when the holiday schedule has you completely depleted.
The Immunity Drip | $175 — Vitamin C, Zinc, and Hydration Fluids to keep you healthy through cold and flu season.
The Glow Drip | $175 — Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Biotin for that lit-from-within radiance that shows up beautifully in holiday photos.
The Glow Protocol - Your Skin’s Holiday Supplement
Start The Glow Protocol in October and your skin will be noticeably more radiant, smoother, and more elastic by December. GHK-cu, BPC-157, and TB-500 work at the cellular level to support collagen production, improve skin tone, and address cumulative summer sun damage from the inside out. Pair it with your aesthetic treatments for results that go deeper than any topical product ever could.
The Metabolic Reset - Don’t Wait Until January
Here’s the truth about New Year’s resolutions: the patients who show up in January already seeing results are the ones who started in October. If medical weight loss with semaglutide or tirzepatide has been on your mind, starting now gives you 3 months of momentum before the new year so you’re celebrating results in January instead of just starting your journey.
The Repair Protocol - Recovery Through the Chaos
The holiday season is genuinely exhausting, and The Repair Protocol was made for exactly that. BPC-157 and TB-500 support recovery, reduce inflammation, and help your body keep up with the demands of the busiest time of year. Think of it as your body’s holiday insurance policy.
Wellness Concierge Membership - The Gift That Keeps Giving
October is a great time to start a Rae Wellness Concierge membership, which gives you consistent access to your provider, priority scheduling, and discounted services through the holiday season and into the new year. Premier members get one free IV drip per month, which alone makes the membership worthwhile during cold and flu season.
From $129/month.
