Because looking your best for the holidays (or any big event) takes more than a last-minute glow-up.

In this episode of Making the Cut, Dr. Patrick Basile and Hope Gulley, APRN break down how to plan your treatments so you’re event-ready — whether it’s for the holidays, a wedding, or that big vacation you’ve been counting down to.

This episode is all about timing, strategy, and setting yourself up for the best results.

Together, they cover:

✨ Quick fixes like facials, some lasers, Botox, and more for those last-minute touch-ups
 ✨ Medium-term treatments like fillers, CoolSculpting, and chemical peels — and why you should plan 1–3 months ahead
 ✨ Longer-term plans including surgery and laser resurfacing that need recovery time (and a calendar)
 ✨ Why “backwards planning” from your event date is the secret to avoiding panic-prep

Because confidence isn’t just about the treatment — it’s about giving yourself the time to heal, settle, and shine.

Whether it’s the holidays, a wedding, or a milestone trip, this episode will help you plan with confidence (and skip the stress).
