The holiday season has officially taken over New York City-and Christmas 2025 is just around the corner. While you’re picking outfits, wrapping gifts, and scheduling dinners, there’s one thing you cannot leave for the last minute: your skin.
Whether you want flawless microbladed brows or smooth “velvet skin,” every beauty treatment has a healing period. Book too late, and you may end up with peeling skin or scabbing brows during your holiday celebrations.
To make sure you look glowing and confident in every photo, here is the updated December 2025 beauty timeline curated by experts at Karmina Beauty Clinic NYC plus an exclusive 20% OFF Holiday Offer.
Microblading Timeline for Perfect Brows Before Christmas 2025
Microblading creates soft, fluffy, natural-looking brows-but it must be booked on time so the skin can heal properly.
As of today (December 9, 2025), here’s the accurate holiday timeline:
Microblading Booking Timeline
✔ Dec 9-12 – Best Time to Book (Highly Recommended)
If you book within this window, your brows will be:
-
Past the scabbing phase
-
Settled and natural looking by Christmas
-
Fully presentable for holiday events
This is your perfect time window for Christmas-ready brows.
✔ Dec 13-17 – Last Acceptable Window
You may still be in:
-
Light fading (ghosting phase)
-
Mild healing
But brows will still look good enough for gatherings and pictures.
⚠ Dec 18 Onward – Not Recommended
If you book microblading after December 18:
-
Peeling/scabbing may still be visible
-
Color may look faded
-
Brows won’t be at their best for Christmas photos
Book ASAP if you want holiday-perfect brows.
Microneedling Timeline for Velvet Skin by Christmas
NYC winters are harsh-cold air, indoor heating, and wind make skin dull and dehydrated. This is why Microneedling is trending in NYC for Winter 2025.
It helps with:
-
Rough texture
-
Enlarged pores
-
Acne scars
-
Dull winter skin
And compared to chemical peels, microneedling has short social downtime.
🗓 Microneedling Booking Timeline
✔ Dec 9-20 – Ideal Window for Christmas Glow
Microneedling requires:
-
24-48 hours downtime
-
5-7 days to reach full glow
This gives you:
-
Brighter, smoother skin by Christmas Eve
-
Glass-skin glow for New Year’s Eve
You still have plenty of time to book and look radiant.
