Big Event Glow-Up Guide: Med Spa Treatments for Your Big Event – Novel U Wellness

We’ve all been there – the wedding, the reunion, the milestone birthday, the vacation of a lifetime, or that once-in-a-career gala. A Big Event is coming, and you want to look like your very best self. You want to walk in feeling confident, glowing, and refreshed, inside and out!

At Novel U Wellness and Med Spa, I completely understand. I’ve had those big moments too, and I know how important it is to feel like your most vibrant, empowered version of you. Long Beach is a city buzzing with life and big events. Whether you’re getting ready for a wedding, a class reunion, or a Big Night out with friends, you’ll want to look and feel your best. That’s why I created a Glow-Up Schedule – a thoughtful roadmap to help you prepare step-by-step, and look and feel ready and refreshed, whether you have six months or just a few days before your big event.

Flexible Glow-Up Planning for Any Timeline

Our approach is always personalized, holistic, and loving. Every treatment is chosen with care to honor your natural beauty, enhance your confidence, and prioritize your skin and body’s long-term health. I want you to know that no matter when you start, you can still create a meaningful, confidence-boosting glow-up!

If your big event is just a month away, we focus on quick, safe treatments like Botox (with time to settle), hydrating facials, and light resurfacing.

If your event is only a week away, we stick to instant-brightening services-hydration facials, lymphatic drainage massage, and pro skincare tips-while avoiding anything that may cause redness or peeling.

Even if some treatments take time to fully bloom, there are always options to look and feel your best. And remember: your confidence is the most beautiful glow of all.

FDA-Approved Cosmetic Treatments

At Novel U Wellness and Med Spa in Long Beach, our treatments are FDA-approved. Here is a quick explainer of how these treatments are used:

• Neuromodulator Injections – these treatments (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Jeauveu) soften frown lines while keeping expressions natural.
• Dermal fillers – these treatments offer exceptionally subtle enhancements for jawlines or cheeks without going overboard.
• PRP Therapy – Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or rejuvenation facials restores youthful texture and vibrancy by harnessing the natural healing properties of your own blood to rejuvenate and restore vitality to your skin and hair. It is a versatile solution for a variety of issues, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and other blemishes, skin tone and texture improvement, as well as hair restoration for thinning hair or receding hairlines.
• Exosome Therapy – a new, pioneering approach to health and beauty that utilizes the body’s ability to repair and renew itself, using exosomes, tiny vesicles that facilitate communication between cells for tissue regeneration and recovery.
• NouvaDerm Hair Restoration Laser – we’re pleased to offer this cutting-edge, non-invasive hair regrowth treatment that uses Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and advanced fractional resurfacing technology. This is a proven system to stimulate dormant hair follicles, boost scalp health, and promote sustainable hair growth without painful procedures or lengthy recovery time.
• Plasmage Non-surgical Blepharoplasty Treatment – Plasmage offers a state-of-the-art treatment to rejuvenate the delicate skin around your eyes to achieve a refreshed and rested appearance without undergoing traditional surgery.
• Microneedling – I’m pleased to announce that we have TWO treatment options for microneedling.
  
  • Agnes RF Microneedling is clinically proven acne and acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin and jowls, under-eye fat bags and fatty deposits, and even submental (double chin) fat and “bra” fat on the body – all with minimal discomfort and post-procedure recovery time.
  • Scarlet SRF Microneedling addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including reducing fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing skin tightness and elasticity, minimizing pore size, improving skin tone and texture, as well as jawline contouring, stretch marks, and even cellulite.
• Healthy Weight Loss – No two bodies are the same. That’s why we start with a comprehensive health assessment, including lab work, metabolic testing, and a medical history review. We offer personalized weight loss programs that include the latest FDA-approved treatments such as Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic), Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), and other cutting-edge therapies designed to help you lose fat, control cravings, and improve your metabolic health.

Let me take a moment to be very frank about what you’ll find when you visit Novel U Wellness. I understand talking about your cosmetic concerns can be intimidating. I take great pride in having created Novel U Wellness and Med Spa as a judgment-free zone where your comfort and privacy are our top priorities. You’ll never need to explain yourself here; I’m here to listen and help you achieve your goals.

We can help you create a personalized beauty schedule that will ensure you’ll shine by the time your special day arrives. We offer everything from anti-aging and skin-tightening treatments to hair restoration and medical weight loss, including GLP-1 therapies.

Here’s a straightforward Glow-Up Guide to help you look your absolute best self. If you have months to prepare, count yourself lucky! And if you only have a few days to prepare, don’t despair! Remember that we have ways to still help you look and feel your best self!

6 Months (or More): Build Your Foundation

If you’re planning ahead, congratulations! This is the best time to focus on treatments that create lasting transformation while giving your body and skin time to heal, renew, and thrive.

Skin Rejuvenation

Microneedling (Agnes RF or Scarlet SRF): Improves texture, softens fine lines, shrinks pores, and boosts collagen.

VAMP Salmon DNA Treatment: Restores skin with deep nourishment and bioactive peptides.

PRP Therapy: Harnesses your own plasma to smooth scars, brighten skin, and promote healing.

Hair and Scalp Health

NouvaDerm Hair Restoration Laser, Exosome Therapy, and PRP Hair Therapy all encourage natural growth and fullness over time.

Body and Contouring

Medical Weight Loss (Semaglutide or Tirzepatide programs) for safe, gradual results, if needed.

Agnes RF for Tightening and Fat Reduction in areas like the under-eye, jawline, or bra fat, if needed.

A Special Note About Acne, Hyperpigmentation and Skin Texture Concerns

If your goal is to treat acne breakouts, soften scars, fade dark spots, minimize enlarged pores, or smooth uneven texture, early planning is essential:

• 3-6 months before: Begin microneedling, RF treatments, or PRP therapy for collagen remodeling and scar improvement.
• 2-3 months before: We will introduce pigment-focused treatments for gradual fading of spots and smoother texture.
• Ongoing skincare: Combine medical-grade products with in-office treatments for optimal results.

By starting early, you’ll give your skin the healing and remodeling time it needs for a healthy, camera-ready glow.

3 Months: Fine-Tuning and Mid-Phase Maintenance

At this stage, we refine your results and focus on facial harmony and skin radiance.

Face and Skin

• Botox or Dysport: For softened lines and a refreshed appearance with time for touch-ups.
• Dermal Fillers: Restore youthful volume in cheeks, lips, or under-eyes.
• Continued Microneedling or PRP Sessions for collagen-building and overall glow.

Complexion Care

• Professional Facials such as VAMP Salmon DNA Treatment for hydration and brightening.
• Treatments for pigmentation and texture (laser or microneedling), ensuring enough healing time before your event.

1 Month: Glow and Maintain

Stick to treatments that polish, hydrate, and brighten without downtime:

• Light Microneedling for gentle refresh
• Hydrating Facial such as VAMP Salmon DNA Treatment for instant luminosity
• Teeth Whitening and grooming to complete your look

1 Week (or Less): Final Touches

Enjoy mindful moments, knowing you’ll glow from the inside out as you continue your regimen:

• Beauty maintenance
• Hydrating Facial such as VAMP Salmon DNA Treatment
• Brows, Manicure and Pedicure
• Gentle Exfoliation for a smooth makeup canvas
• Hydrate, rest, and avoid excess salt or alcohol.

Embrace Your Radiance

When the Big Event Day arrives, you won’t just shine; you’ll be radiant! This glow won’t come from changing who you are, but from the powerful investment you’ve made in self-care and self-love.

At Novel U Wellness and Med Spa, we design every treatment plan to celebrate your inherent beauty, ensuring you step into life’s most significant moments feeling confident, empowered, and truly luminous. You might even find yourself loving your healthy, vibrant look so much that every day becomes a “Big Event,” inspiring you to continue your personalized beauty regimen.
