The holidays bring plenty of reasons to celebrate — family gatherings, office parties, and countless photos you’ll be tagged in. If you’d like to look a little more rested and radiant before the festivities begin, you don’t have to schedule surgery to get there.
At Rick J. Smith, MD, we specialize in subtle, natural enhancements that fit your lifestyle. Dr. Smith’s extensive background in facial aesthetics means he understands how to create balance, softness, and confidence — no scalpel required.
Here are six of his favorite nonsurgical treatments to help you step into the holidays looking and feeling your best.
Botox remains the go-to treatment for smoothing expression lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. In just a few minutes, tiny injections relax overactive facial muscles, softening wrinkles while preserving natural movement.
Results typically appear within a few days and last 3-4 months — perfect timing for the holiday season and beyond. Dr. Smith’s technique is precise and conservative, ensuring you look refreshed, not “frozen.” (Learn more about Botox)
If you’ve noticed slightly saggy or sunken facial features or deeper lines around your mouth, cheeks, or lips, Juvéderm can help restore a smooth and lifted look. These hyaluronic-acid fillers add structure and hydration beneath the skin’s surface, creating natural-looking fullness instantly.
Juvéderm treatments are quick, require little to no downtime, and can last up to a year depending on the formula used. It’s one of the easiest ways to refresh your appearance before the holidays. (Learn more about Juvederm)
Lasers are the secret sauce behind many flawless complexions. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, redness, fine lines, or an uneven tone, our laser therapy gently resurfaces the skin, stimulating new collagen for a smoother texture.
At Dr. Smith’s office, laser treatments are customized to your needs, including mild polishing sessions and deeper corrective resurfacing, all with minimal downtime and impressive results. (Learn more about laser skin rejuvenation)
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to calm inflammation, speed up healing, and promote collagen production. It’s completely non-invasive and feels more like a spa treatment than a medical procedure.
Blue light helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, while red and near-infrared light target aging concerns like fine lines and dullness. The result is skin that looks clearer and more radiant — just in time for your holiday photos. (Learn more about LED light therapy)
PRP therapy uses your own platelets drawn from a simple blood sample to rejuvenate and repair your skin naturally. Once the plasma is processed and injected, it releases growth factors that boost collagen, improve texture, and enhance tone over time.
Often combined with microneedling, PRP is a powerful way to stimulate renewal from within. Because it relies on your body’s natural healing abilities, the results look authentic. (Learn more about PRP)
