If anyone knows the best treatments to book in for, it’s our EV Experts—but what would they choose for themselves? From lasers and botulinum toxin, to souped-up microneedling procedures and at-home devices, read on to discover what they will be banking on this festive season and beyond to revive their skin.

This Christmas, I want another Global V+ treatment. Since I have rosacea, which means my skin becomes red, flushes and I get flare ups of small veins on the surface, I’m always on the hunt for suitable treatments for my skin type, and this doesn’t disappoint. The Global V+ treatment is a laser treatment using Cutera’s Excel V+ CoolView, plus Dermastat Laser Genesis and Green Genesis—two different laser wavelengths, one superficial which takes redness from the skin, and the Nd:YAG 1064 which penetrates deeper into the skin to treat redness and pigmentation. The different handpieces deliver laser energy to the surface of the skin, which has the extra benefit of boosting collagen and elastin production. It can be performed on the face and body, and I love it as it settles my redness and flare ups.

I’d love to gift myself the Mesotox/Microtoxin treatment, a cutting-edge combination of mesotherapy and microtoxin. This innovative procedure delivers a diluted botulinum toxin along with nourishing ingredients like vitamins and hyaluronic acid just beneath the skin’s surface. Unlike traditional botulinum toxin injections which target deeper muscles, this treatment focuses on the superficial layers, improving skin texture, tone, and hydration. What excites me most are the natural-looking results. It evens out skin tone and reduces fine lines and pore size without freezing facial expressions, offering a refined yet natural appearance. Plus, the added boost of hydration leaves skin radiant and glowing. With a quick 30-minute procedure, minimal downtime, and almost instant results, it fits perfectly into a busy schedule.

All I want this Christmas is exosome therapy—a transformative skincare treatment that's a secret weapon against the not-so skin friendly festive season. From the cold winter air, and the indulgence of sugar and alcohol to stress, this time of year often leaves skin dull, dehydrated and more prone to inflammation. Exosome therapy cleverly counteracts these effects and keeps skin radiant and resilient. At my clinic I use exosomes derived from salmon dermis stem cells, to deliver growth factors deep into the skin, promoting repair and rejuvenation at a cellular level. I get them where they need to go by microneedling the skin before using the innovative TargetCool device, which releases the exosomes at the speed of light, alongside a cooling CO2 spray. This treatment ensures deep penetration of the exosomes, improves the skin's elasticity and firmness, and offers a glow that will last well into the new year.

Without a doubt, the treatment that I would gift to myself this Christmas has to be HArmonyCa. This regenerating and biostimulating injectable treatment gives me a lasting lift and skin hydration without adding volume where I don’t want it, making it one of my favourite medical aesthetic treatments. The effects are incredibly enduring—I find that it lasts over 12 months! I haven’t had it for a while, so after Christmas would be the perfect time for me to top up. The festive season gets busy for me, so the rejuvenating and firming results I get from HArmonyCa are gratefully received; afterwards my face looks tighter and my fine smile lines are nicely softened. In my experience, it always gives a subtle finish, making it the perfect gift from me to me!

Top of my Christmas wish list is the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2. It offers a quick and easy way to help with skin quality, texture, redness, acne and rosacea in the comfort of my own home. Adding just 10 extra minutes into my “me-time” to use this mask can lead to incredible results over just a few weeks. With plenty of studies behind this second iteration of the brands' LED mask, I totally trust the wavelengths used are what’s needed to make inroads into improving the health of my skin. It has a slightly higher price point than its predecessor, but it can be used multiple times a week all year round, and frankly anything that’s going to tighten, smooth, and even out my skintone makes for the perfect gift in my book.

I’ll be making a full face and neck treatment with PhilArt polynucleotides my Christmas treat. I’ve been using this biostimulator for a while now and I love it because it complements our clinic offerings beautifully, and brings out the best of other treatments and skincare. Within 24 hours, I see an immediate improvement in the firmness, brightness and hydration of my skin, as well as reduced inflammation. It’s the perfect treatment for winter skin concerns, thanks to its multi-tasking benefits that last for months.
