The Holiday Countdown: When to Book Your Botox and Filler Before Party Season
Because great skin deserves its moment under the mistletoe!
Timing Is Everything (Especially for Your Face)
The holidays are right around the corner, which means the next few weeks are about to fill up fast! Both your calendar and our schedule. If you’re planning to get Botox or dermal filler treatments before the festivities, now’s the time to think about your timeline.
Even though these treatments are quick, your results (and healing) take a little time to settle.
Here’s your inside guide to looking fresh, not frozen, at every holiday gathering.
Botox: Plan 2–3 Weeks Ahead
Botox takes about 10–14 days to fully kick in, with peak results showing around the 2-week mark. That means if you’ve got Thanksgiving dinner, holiday parties, or photos coming up, aim to book at least two to three weeks before your event.
A little insider tip: you might experience slight redness or minor injection marks for a day or two, totally normal and easy to cover with makeup.
Fillers: Give Yourself 3–4 Weeks
Fillers are incredible for restoring volume and softening lines, but they do come with some temporary swelling or bruising (especially around lips or cheeks). We recommend scheduling at least three to four weeks before your event to allow everything to settle beautifully.
Pro tip: A little ice, arnica, and hydration go a long way. And while bruising is normal, you’ll thank yourself later for building in healing time.
The Perfect Pre-Event Plan
4 weeks out: Book filler treatments
3 weeks out: Botox and touch-ups
1 week out: Light facial or peel (no downtime options)
The night before: Hydrate, sleep, and skip experimenting with new skincare
By event day, your glow will look effortless, even though it was strategically planned.
