The Products Professionals Are Quietly Relying on This Month
While injectables and boosters often dominate the conversation, December tells a slightly different story inside clinics. As appointment volumes rise and festive schedules intensify, professionals are increasingly turning to supporting, high-utility products that keep treatments running smoothly and clients comfortable during the busiest month of the year.
At Reliable Medicare, December purchasing patterns highlight a clear shift toward practical, treatment-enhancing essentials — products that support recovery, elevate patient experience, and streamline clinic workflows.
Here’s what’s trending this December, beyond the obvious.
1. Post-Treatment & Recovery Masks
With clients booking treatments closer to social events, there is growing demand for products that visibly calm, hydrate and brighten the skin immediately after procedures.
Trending category:
Professional sheet masks and recovery masks
Products like the Dermaren Lumi Glow Mask are becoming a December staple. Clinics are using them post-treatment or offering them as take-home aftercare to reduce redness, boost hydration, and enhance glow before events.
These masks are particularly popular because they:
-Deliver instant visible results
-Improve client comfort
-Add value to treatment packages
-Work across multiple treatment types
2. Skin Quality & Texture Enhancers (Low-Volume HA Treatments)
Rather than dramatic structural change, December clients are increasingly asking for skin-smoothing and texture refinement — especially in areas like the cheeks, under-eyes, neck and hands.
Trending focus:
Low-viscosity HA injectables designed for skin quality
Products such as Juvéderm Volite (and similar skin-quality-focused formulations) are favoured for their ability to improve hydration, elasticity and smoothness without altering facial shape.
Clinics are using these treatments as:
-Festive refreshers
-Maintenance appointments
-Alternatives for clients avoiding volumisation
3. Clinic Consumables & Treatment Room Staples
December also sees a noticeable increase in orders for everyday clinical essentials — often overlooked, but critical during high-volume weeks.
Trending consumables include:
Sterile needles and cannulas
Syringes
Disposables and treatment-room supplies
As appointment schedules fill, clinics prioritise consistent stock of these items to avoid disruptions. Reliable availability becomes just as important as the treatment products themselves.
4. Retail-Ready Aftercare & Home Support Products
Clients leaving the clinic in December often want something tangible to maintain results between appointments or during travel.
Trending retail categories include:
Calming creams
Barrier-support moisturisers
Hydrating serums
Post-procedure recovery products
These items are frequently recommended after peels, injectables and skin treatments — helping extend results while reinforcing professional guidance.
Clinics offering curated aftercare options often see higher client satisfaction and stronger repeat bookings.
5. Flexible Products That Work Across Multiple Protocols
December is not the time for complex treatment planning. Professionals are favouring versatile products that can be used across:
Facial treatments
Body protocols
Post-procedure recovery
Winter skin management
Products that slot easily into different protocols allow clinics to move efficiently while still delivering high-quality outcomes — a key advantage during peak season.
Why These Products Trend in December
December clinic demand is driven by:
Packed appointment diaries
Clients wanting fast, visible improvements
Increased sensitivity due to cold weather
Limited recovery time between events
Need for reliability and consistency
As a result, professionals prioritise products that support results, comfort and workflow, rather than experimental or high-risk additions.
As part of the RM365 Group, Reliable Medicare supplies far more than headline injectables. Our December demand reflects what clinics truly need
to function at their best — from recovery masks and consumables to skin-quality solutions and aftercare essentials.
By supporting both the treatment and everything around it, we help professionals stay prepared, efficient and confident throughout the busiest month of the year.
