The Ultimate Pre-Holiday Injectable Timeline: When to Book for the Best Results
The holiday season is just around the corner! That means photos, parties, and plenty of reasons to look and feel your best. If you’re planning on getting injectables like Botox or filler, timing is everything. Treatments take time to settle, and a little planning right now ensures you’ll have natural, refreshed results right when you want them.
Here’s a timeline breakdown of when to schedule each treatment so your glow peaks just in time for the holidays.
3–4 Weeks Before Your Events: Filler
Filler treatments, such as lip enhancement, cheek contouring, or under-eye correction, typically require a few weeks to settle fully.
- Week 1: Expect mild swelling or bruising that fades within days.
- Week 2: The filler integrates and begins to look more natural.
- Week 3–4: Your results soften and balance — this is your best look!
2 Weeks Before: Neurotoxin Time (Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin)
Neurotoxins work gradually. You’ll start noticing smoother skin about 5 to 7 days after treatment, with full results in about two weeks.
If you’re a regular patient, now’s the perfect time for a touch-up before your December visits and photos.
Avoid scheduling too close to big events — rushing it can mean your results won’t have time to peak.
1 Week Before: Skin-Polishing Enhancements
Once your injectables have settled, it’s the perfect time to give your skin a polished, radiant finish before the holidays. These non-invasive treatments add hydration, brightness, and glow — all without downtime.
Hydrafacial
Our HydraFacial uses patented vortex technology to deeply cleanse, extract, and infuse the skin with antioxidant-rich hydration. In just one visit, it delivers smoother, more luminous skin that’s makeup-ready and camera-ready. Enhance your results with a customized booster to target specific concerns like fine lines or dullness, or a lymphatic drainage massage add-on to promote circulation and reduce puffiness.
Salt Facial
This three-step treatment delivers a radiant, post-vacation glow that looks effortlessly natural. The Salt Facial begins with gentle exfoliation using organic sea salt to smooth texture and brighten tone, followed by ultrasound infusion to deeply hydrate and plump the skin. It finishes with LED light therapy to calm, rejuvenate, and bring out your most luminous complexion. You’ll leave with visibly refreshed, glowing skin that lasts through the week’s festivities.
Dermaplane Facial
For the ultimate finishing touch, the Dermaplane Facial leaves skin smooth, bright, and silky. Using a specialized medical-grade blade, your provider gently removes the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) and surface buildup of dead skin cells. This allows your skincare products and makeup to apply flawlessly and enhances the penetration of post-treatment serums and moisturizers. Followed by a nourishing mask to calm and hydrate the skin, and finished with LED light therapy to stimulate collagen and boost your post-treatment glow. The result is a refined, polished complexion that feels as fresh as it looks — perfect for last-minute events or photo days.
