Is there a beauty equivalent of a "one off clean"?

I have in the past had a one off clean for my house which gives a reset and feels better and gave me the energy and inclination to do deeper/cleaning and sorting

I am feeling very low about personal appearance at the moment, need to do something drastic about my weight. Bmi is approaching 30 and finding clothes harder to fit.
But funds are low, morale is low and I live in an affluent area with lots of very swishy hair and Russian lashes and just feel like such a frump

What beauty treatment/home or salon would make an impact??

My hairdresser does some beauty treatments, so I book myself in for a brow shape, lash dye and curl, nails and hair and I always leave feeling so much more positive and able to keep things up.
The brow/ lash bit really makes a massive difference

It really depends on your budget and what you want to achieve.

I am a similar BMI to you and feel a bit meh about all my clothes (I put on weight during covid/repeated pregnancy loss/infertility/fertility treatment/pregnancy)

Obviously, long-term I’ll feel better when I get the excess weight off. But in the short term, I’ve went to vinted and got myself lots of clothes which flatter my “new” body.

I get my nails done every three weeks and I’ve started taking more care of my skin.

Im getting Botox shortly too, so that although I’m quite fat I have a pretty nice face.

An eyebrow wax and some (basic) makeup make me feel better on a day to day basis.

It's probably not quite as straightforward as the one off clean but maybe a spa day package? Gym/swim/jacuzzi etc and a couple of treatments? Massage/mini manicure/eyebrow shape or whatever. Won't get you a haircut or everything waxed or whatever.
