February is the month of love, fresh starts, and glowing confidence and at our Hawthorn East Skin & Laser Clinic, we’re leaning into all of it. With Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year both landing this month, it’s the perfect time to show your skin some love, reset your routine, and start the year feeling confident in your own skin. Whether you’re booking treatments for yourself (self love is always in season 💖) or preparing for events, dinners, and celebrations, here’s how to make February your glow up month.
Valentine’s Day Skin: Fall in Love With Your Glow 💕 Valentine’s Day isn’t just about roses and chocolates, it’s about feeling confident, radiant, and comfortable in your skin. Our most loved pre Valentine treatments:
• Hydrating treatments & skin boosters - For plump, fresh, date ready skin
• Laser rejuvenation - Improve tone, texture, pigmentation and redness
• LED light therapy - A no downtime glow boost (perfect before events)
• Medical grade skincare plans, Long term results beyond one night ✨
Pro tip: Book treatments 2–3 weeks before Valentine’s Day for optimal results and minimal downtime.

Chinese New Year: Renew, Reset & Restore Your Skin 🐍. Chinese New Year symbolises new beginnings, renewal, and prosperity and your skin deserves the same fresh start. This is one of the most popular times of year for:
• Resetting pigmentation and sun damage
• Treating acne, scarring and congestion
• Strengthening the skin barrier after summer
• Starting laser and corrective skin journeys
Why February is ideal for skin correction:
• Less intense sun exposure than peak summer
• Perfect timing to start laser & pigment treatments
• Skin responds beautifully to collagen stimulating procedures
💡 If you’ve been putting off your skin journey, Chinese New Year is your sign to begin.
Summer Skin Hangover? We’ve Got You ☀️➡️🌿 Australian summers are harsh on skin. By February, we commonly see:
• Pigmentation & melasma flare ups
• Dehydration and dullness
• Increased redness and sensitivity
• Post holiday breakouts
Our approach is results driven, medical, and tailored, especially for Asian skin and darker skin tones, where expertise matters. We focus on:
• Safe laser settings for all skin types
• Pigment safe protocols
• Strengthening and repairing the skin barrier
• Long term skin health, not quick fixes
