Brighten Up for the Holidays: Toxins, Fillers & EZGEL

The holidays are a time to reconnect, celebrate, and—yes—take a few too many photos. If you’re hoping to look a little more rested or refreshed this season, non-surgical treatments like neurotoxins and fillers, as well as regenerative options like EZGEL, can offer subtle, noticeable results without downtime.

At Dermatology Associates of Plymouth Meeting, we specialize in treatments that help patients look like their best selves. Whether it’s softening fine lines, restoring volume, or improving skin tone, we focus on natural results that help you glow with confidence—just in time for the season’s events.

A Quick Lift Without the Fuss

Neurotoxins like Botox® and Dysport® are the go-to for softening expression lines—think forehead creases or crow’s feet. They temporarily relax the muscles that cause these wrinkles, giving your face a smoother, more rested look. Results kick in within a few days and last for several months.

Fillers like Juvéderm® and Restylane® work differently. They’re used to restore volume in areas that have lost fullness over time, like the cheeks, under-eyes, or lips. They also help soften deeper folds around the mouth. The best part? You see results right away.

These treatments can be used on their own or combined for a balanced “liquid lift”—perfect if you want to refresh your look without committing to surgery or a long recovery.

EZGEL: Your Skin, Reimagined

If you’re looking for something more natural, EZGEL is a standout. It’s a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood—specifically platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)—to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.

Unlike traditional fillers, EZGEL doesn’t just add volume; it also adds structure. Patients love it for delicate areas like under the eyes, where volume loss and crepey skin are common. Because it’s made from your own blood, it’s well-tolerated and aligns with a more holistic approach to aesthetics.

We often recommend EZGEL for patients who want a more natural refresh or who are starting to notice early signs of aging but aren’t ready for traditional fillers yet.

Why Now is the Right Time

If you’re thinking about a touch-up before the holidays, don’t wait. Neurotoxins take a few days to settle in, and while fillers offer instant results, you’ll want a little time for any swelling to go down. EZGEL also benefits from early planning, since the regenerative results build gradually.

The good news? These treatments are fast, non-invasive and fit easily into a busy schedule. Most patients are in and out in under an hour—and ready to return to daily life with a subtle, refreshed look.

Holiday Timing FAQs: When Should You Book?

How soon before a holiday should I get toxins or fillers?

For neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport, we recommend scheduling at least two weeks before your event. Results start to appear in 3–5 days, with full results around day 10–14.

For dermal fillers, you’ll see volume immediately, but it’s best to allow 7–10 days for swelling or bruising to resolve.

When should I get EZGEL if I want results by the holidays?

EZGEL works by stimulating collagen, so the benefits build gradually. Plan to book your appointment 3–4 weeks ahead of any major event for the best skin improvement and glow.

Can I combine treatments in one visit?

Yes—many patients combine fillers with EZGEL or toxins for a more complete refresh. Your provider can recommend the best approach based on your timeline and goals.

Is there any downtime?

Most people return to daily activities right after treatment. Minor swelling or bruising can occur but is typically mild and temporary.
