Valentine's Glow: Love Your Skin This Month

February is here, and whether you're celebrating with a partner, your best friends, or simply treating yourself to some well-deserved TLC, one thing is certain: you deserve to feel confident in your skin.
This month isn't just about chocolates and flowers. It's about recognizing that the best relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself. And part of that relationship? Showing up for your skin with the same care and intention you show for the people you love.
At Herasme Beauty, I see February as the perfect reminder that self-care isn't selfish, it's essential. And here's the thing: winter is actually one of the best times to invest in treatments that create lasting results. Less sun exposure means safer healing for lasers and peels. More downtime means you can actually recover properly. And starting now gives you time to glow by spring.
So whether you're prepping for a Valentine's date, celebrating Galentine's Day with your crew, or simply ready to feel more like yourself again, let's talk about how to give your skin the love it deserves this month.
The Valentine's Glow-Up: Treatments That Make You Feel Beautiful
Lip Love: Natural Enhancement That Looks Like You
Give your lips the attention they deserve, not with over-the-top volume, but with natural, beautifully balanced enhancement.
Here's what I hear most from clients considering lip filler:
"I want my lips to look hydrated and defined, not fake"
"My lips have gotten smaller as I've aged"
"I just want a subtle, 'my lips but better' result"
What Strategic Lip Enhancement Can Do:
Restore volume lost to aging
Define your lip border for a more youthful shape
Create subtle symmetry and balance
Enhance your natural cupid's bow
Give lips a hydrated, plump appearance
The Herasme Approach: I use premium hyaluronic acid-based fillers that integrate naturally with your tissue. We start conservatively, build gradually, and prioritize proportion over size. The goal isn't to look "done", it's to look like you, just refreshed. Timeline: Immediate results with minimal downtime. Results last 6-12 months, depending on the product used.

The Date-Night Refresh: Wrinkle Relaxers for a Rested Look
Valentine's Day is coming, and whether you're going out or having a cozy night in, you want to look and feel your best. But here's the truth: looking "done up" isn't the goal. Looking rested, approachable, and like yourself?
That's what wrinkle relaxers are designed to do.
What Wrinkle Relaxers (Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify) Address:
Forehead lines that make you look worried or tired
The "11" lines between your brows
Crow's feet around your eyes
That overall tense, aged expression
What Clients Tell Me After Treatment:
"I look less stressed"
"My partner said I look more rested"
"I still look like me—I just look happier"
The secret? Precision. I don't freeze faces. I soften lines while preserving your natural movement and expressions. Timeline: Results appear in 7-14 days and last 3-4 months.
Best For: Anyone noticing expression lines that make them look tired, stressed, or older than they feel.

The Galentine's Glow: Skin Boosters & PRF for Radiance
Galentine's Day (February 13th) celebrates friendship, self-love, and the women who lift us up. What better way to honor that than with a treatment that gives your skin a visible glow?
EZ PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) and Salmon DNA Skin Boosters are two of my favorite treatments for clients who want natural rejuvenation without synthetic fillers.
What They Do:
Boost hydration and improve skin tone Stimulate your body's own collagen production
Reduce fine lines and improve texture over time
Create that lit-from-within radiance
Why I Love Them:
These treatments work with your body's natural healing process rather than adding synthetic materials. They're perfect for clients who are filler-hesitant or simply want to enhance their skin quality rather than add volume.
Timeline: Progressive improvement over 2-3 months as collagen rebuilds.
Perfect For: "I want natural, glowing skin" goals.

Client Love: What Real People Are Saying
"Michelle is the only person I trust with my Botox and lip fillers, and after my experience, I can't imagine going anywhere else! With her 20 years of experience as a dedicated Nurse Practitioner, she truly brings a blend of medical expertise and genuine care to every treatment.
From the moment I step into her clinic, Michelle makes me feel completely at ease. She explains everything in detail, from the reasons behind her product choices to the procedure itself, ensuring I'm comfortable and informed every step of the way.
What I appreciate most is her honesty—she is not afraid to talk me out of treatments I might want but don't actually need, always prioritizing my natural beauty and well-being over everything else.
Sidebar: When random men that are NOT hitting on you say things like 'you look refreshed' knowing dang well I didn't sleep well… it's her magic!" — Elsi P., Verified Client (From Google Reviews)
Planting Seeds for Spring: It's Not Too Early to Think Ahead Spring always brings events, weddings, graduations, showers, travel, and more photos. If you want to look refreshed (not overdone), late February is the perfect time to start.
Why now?
Because your best results are usually the ones that build gradually and settle naturally.
Smart spring prep options:
Wrinkle relaxer: softens expression lines while keeping movement
Skin-quality treatments (PRF/skin boosters): hydration + glow + smoother texture
LaseMD Ultra or microneedling: tone + texture support with progressive improvement
My advice: Plan early so you’re not squeezing treatments into the last two weeks before an event.

This Month's Topic: Love Languages for Your Skin
We talk a lot about love languages in relationships, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service. But what about your skin's love language?
Here's how I think about it:
Acts of Service: Daily SPF, consistent medical-grade skincare, staying hydrated
Quality Time: Monthly professional treatments that address your specific concerns
Physical Touch: Gentle application of products, never harsh scrubbing or picking
Words of Affirmation: Speaking kindly to yourself when you look in the mirror
Gifts: Investing in treatments that make you feel confident
This month, I challenge you to ask yourself: How am I showing love to my skin?Is it just surface-level quick fixes, or are you investing in long-term health and vitality?
The most powerful beauty treatment isn't a product or a procedure, it's the decision to prioritize yourself with the same care you give everyone else.
Winter Skincare Tips: Keep That Glow Going
February is still peak winter, which means your skin needs extra support.
Here’s what I recommend:
Layer your hydration: Hyaluronic acid serum + a rich moisturizer and Epicutis Hyvia Crème at the studio)
(I carry AlumierMD HydraRich and Epicutis Hyvia Crème at the studio)
Strengthen your skin barrier: If you’re dry, reactive, or easily irritated, focus on barrier-repair first. Epicutis is one of my favorites for post-procedure + sensitive skin support.
Never skip SPF: UV damage happens year-round—even on cloudy February days
Use a humidifier: Indoor heat pulls moisture from your skin fast
Exfoliate strategically: Chemical peels or gentle exfoliants 1–2x/week (skip harsh scrubs)
Drink your water: Hydration starts from within
Pro Tip: If your skin feels tight right after cleansing, your cleanser is likely too harsh. Swap to something gentle and hydrating.

The Bottom Line: You Deserve to Feel Beautiful
February is the month of love, but let's be real: the most important love story is the one you have with yourself.
You don't need to wait for a special occasion to invest in feeling confident. You don't need permission to prioritize your own needs. And you certainly don't need to apologize for wanting to look and feel your best.
Whether you're celebrating Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day, or just "me day," this month is your reminder that taking care of your skin isn't vanity—it's self-respect.
