Your Holiday Treatment Timeline in Englewood, NJ: Tell Me When Your Event Is and We'll Work Backwards
Once November hits, my phone starts lighting up with the same question. "I have a party in two weeks. What can I do?" And I love that question, because the answer is almost always yes, we can do something. It just depends on how much time we have. That is why this month I put together your holiday treatment timeline here in Englewood, NJ. Think of it as your plan for looking rested and refreshed for every party, photo, Christmas morning, and NYE toast, without the last-minute panic.
And trust me, I get it. Right now my own calendar is a juggling act: my daughter’s schedule, walking the dog, figuring out with my husband who’s hosting what, holiday prepping, and somehow planning my own big birthday in between.
Your Holiday Treatment Timeline: When to Book What
I'm not saying book early just because my calendar fills up (although it does). Every treatment needs its own amount of time to settle, and knowing that is what gets you to your event looking like yourself, just more rested.
Wrinkle relaxers (Botox, Daxxify, Dysport, Xeomin): Ideally 2 to 4 weeks before your event. That gives everything time to fully kick in and settle, so you walk in soft and natural, not still waiting on results.
Filler: Ideally 3 to 4 weeks or more before an important event. That leaves room for any swelling or bruising to calm down and for everything to settle in naturally.
PRF under eyes: This is one I really want you to know about. Regenerative treatments are such a big part of what I do, and the holiday season is exactly when we all start looking tired. PRF under eyes takes a little more planning, since some swelling can happen and your results keep developing over time. If you want to look rested for the holidays, this is one to start now.
Perfect Derma Peel: A beautiful option for refreshed holiday skin, but we plan ahead for it because you will actually peel. Once that process is done, your skin is ready to shine.
LaseMD Ultra and SkinPen Microneedling: These two are a little different because I customize them to your skin, your goals, and how much downtime you have. For the right patient, we can do a glow-focused treatment even 1 to 2 weeks before an event. If we're working on more corrective concerns or going more aggressive, I want more time.
That customization piece matters. Not every treatment has the same downtime, and not every patient needs the same intensity. Two people can sit in my chair with the same party on the same night and leave with two completely different plans.
Your Holiday Countdown: What Can We Do?
Is your event 4 weeks away? This is the sweet spot. We have room for Botox, dermal fillers, facial balancing, PRF under-eye treatments, and even a Perfect Derma Peel, with time for results to settle. If you've been considering facial balancing with dermal fillers, planning ahead is especially important. Whether we're restoring volume, enhancing facial contours, or creating better overall balance, I prefer allowing at least 4 weeks, and ideally longer for more comprehensive treatments. If you're coming to Herasme Beauty from anywhere in *Bergen County, NJ, this is the window I'd love to see you in.
Is your event 2 weeks away? We still have options. Wrinkle relaxers can still work in this window, and a customized LaseMD Ultra laser treatment or SkinPen Microneedling session may give your skin a beautiful holiday glow. We just choose a little more carefully based on your skin and how much downtime you can accommodate.
Is your event is next week? Let's talk realistic glow, not aggressive treatments. I'll always be honest with you here. This isn't the time for anything with significant downtime. Instead, we'll focus on gentle, glow-focused skincare and treatments that have you looking refreshed, not recovering.
This is exactly why I'd rather build a personalized treatment plan with you than have you randomly book something the week of your party.
The plan is what protects your results.
Book your holiday treatments early. Leave the last-minute shopping to me.

What My Clients Are Saying
Nothing makes me happier than hearing how my clients feel after they leave the studio. This one truly touched my heart.
“I’ve had such a great experience with her aesthetic injection services! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and informative, takes the time to explain everything, and pays so much attention to detail.
Her bedside manner is amazing. She’s warm, patient, and genuinely makes you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Booking is super easy, and she’s always very responsive whenever I have questions. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I’ve been a few times now and will absolutely continue coming back. Highly recommend.”
Vivien Macias, Google Review
Thank you, Vivien! This is exactly how I want every client to feel, heard, cared for, and confident in their plan. If you’re ready to feel that way too, let’s sit down and talk about your goals before the holidays.
Recap: The Latina Voices Panel
On October 6, I had the honor of sitting on the 4th Annual Latina Voices Panel, presented by the 100 Hispanic Women Rockland County Program in collaboration with Dominican University of New York, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
I’ll be honest, I was definitely nervous going in! Public speaking isn’t something I do every day. But once the conversation started, I felt so comfortable, and it turned out to be such an enjoyable experience. I was genuinely honored to share the stage with so many strong, accomplished Latina women.
I shared a little about my upbringing as a first generation American, the values my mother instilled in me, and how my career has evolved over the years. I’ve been in healthcare for over 20 years, and eventually I took a chance on pursuing my passion for aesthetics and opening my own business. My journey hasn’t been a straight line, and that’s okay. You can reinvent yourself, keep learning, and pursue something new at any stage of life.
What stayed with me most was hearing the other women’s stories. We all came from different backgrounds and took different paths, yet we had so many shared experiences. I left inspired by each of them, and reminded of something I strongly believe in, both as a nurse practitioner and a business owner: never stop learning, stay open to different perspectives, and surround yourself with people who inspire you to grow.
So if you’re thinking about saying yes to something outside your comfort zone, say yes! You don’t have to have everything figured out before you take that next step. Don’t let fear stop you from trying something new. Some of the best things in life happen when you step outside your comfort zone.
Next Month
Didn't plan ahead? Don't worry, I've got you. In December, I'll share what we can still safely do when your event is right around the corner, plus something really personal I've been waiting to tell you about. Let's just say it's a big birthday, and I'm celebrating by giving instead of receiving.

Behind the Beauty: A Little Gratitude
November is always a reminder to slow down a little. Do I actually slow down? Not really! But between running Herasme Beauty, family life, and everything in between, it's a good time to stop and appreciate how much there is to be thankful for. And this year, I have so much to be grateful for.
My family, our health, our new home, and being able to do something I genuinely love every day. It's been a year of growth, change, and a little chaos! Between running a business, being a wife and mom, and everything else life throws at us, I'm constantly juggling something. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm also incredibly grateful for all of you who continue to trust me with your faces, your confidence, and your time. I don't take that lightly. Many of my clients have become more than just clients. We catch up, share stories, laugh, and sometimes our appointments feel like little therapy sessions for both of us!
A Little Something Extra, Just for You
And because November is all about gratitude, I have a little something special planned for my existing clients. I'm not giving away all the details just yet, but let's just say it's my way of showing a little extra appreciation for the trust and support you've given me throughout the year.
You'll just have to come see me to find out! Consider it a little thank-you from me to you.
And as for Thanksgiving...
I love the holidays because they give us a reason to get together with family, enjoy good food, and just be present. Although, let's be real, between running a business and managing a household, I'm not sure I actually know how to slow down! But I'm working on it.
Wishing you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, good food, and a little time for yourselves. And truly, thank you for being part of my journey. It means more than you know.
