What to Know Before Getting Injectables Before the Holidays

Summary: Want to look refreshed and radiant at holiday gatherings? Don’t wait! Whether you’re considering Botox, dermal fillers, or Sculptra®, it’s important to plan ahead to allow time for results to settle and any potential swelling to subside. This guide covers key timelines, recovery tips, and booking advice so you radiate, not stress, this season.

Why Holiday Planning for Injectables Matters

From festive dinners to family photos, the holidays are filled with FaceTime. Injectables like Botox, dermal fillers, and Sculptra offer fast, effective enhancements, but even non-surgical treatments need a little recovery time.

Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned aesthetic client, a little planning ensures you’re event-ready with natural, smooth results, not post-injection puffiness.

Timeline: When Should You Book?

Here’s a cheat sheet for when to schedule your treatment:

TreatmentWhen to Book Before EventsWhy
Botox/Dysport/Xeomin2-3 weeks in advanceTakes 3–7 days to start working, full results by 14 days
Dermal Fillers3-4 weeks in advanceSwelling/bruising is common for 5–10 days; allows time to settle
Sculptra6-8 weeks in advance (or earlier)Results build gradually by stimulating collagen

Pro tip: If you’re mixing services, give your face even more cushion time so everything looks beautifully blended.

What About Downtime?

Injectables are minimally invasive, but your face may still need time to adjust.

Common (but temporary) side effects:

  • Redness at injection sites
  • Mild swelling
  • Bruising
  • Tenderness

To reduce downtime:

  • Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, or intense exercise 24 hours before/after
  • Apply cold compresses post-treatment
  • Sleep with your head elevated

Holiday Booking Tips

  • Don’t wait for last-minute cancellations: The closer it gets to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the more calendars fill up.
  • Weekday bookings are often quieter: Book mid-week if your schedule allows.
  • Pair treatments with self-care: Combine injectables with a Relaxing Facial or Cryotherapy for a whole-body refresh.
