When Should You Schedule Botox Before an Event?

Perhaps you were planning on attending a small wedding ceremony, class reunion, or special occasion in the spring that has now been rescheduled for late summer or fall. Or maybe that annual fundraiser you attend every year is instead now being held virtually. The new normal will include wearing masks to gatherings, so it’s even more important for your forehead and the area around your eyes and between the eyebrows to look flawless and fabulous!

When Should You Schedule Botox?

So when is exactly the right time to schedule a Botox appointment before an event? At least one month or more before any event is recommended, say experts, to see the full results, for redness to fade (usually 10-14 days), and to allow time for aftereffects, such as swelling or bruising. It’s important to give yourself adequate time before a life event, such as a wedding because while Botox lasts about four months, pictures last forever! 

Botox is the perfect treatment for lines between the brows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Although the needle may look intimidating, the 10-to-15 minute procedure is painless. The best part? There is no downtime and the side effects are almost non-existent! After the procedure is done, it’s important to avoid exercising, lying down, and putting on makeup.

The Botox Timeline:

Because average patients see Botox Cosmetic results 1-2 weeks after treatment and those results last 3-4 months after the treatment, we recommend that any patient planning Botox Cosmetic before an event go to a provider 3 weeks to 1 month before the event.

How Do I Get Longer-Lasting Results? Try DAXXIFY.

DAXXIFY is one of the new injectable that provides similar to results to Botox with one MAJOR difference. The results from DAXXIFY last much longer than Botox Cosmetic. On average, patients who receive DAXXIFY have long-lasting results for 6-9 months. DAXXIFY is perfect for patients who have received Botox Cosmetic in the past, loved their look, and thought to themselves that they just wish it lasted a little longer. We highly recommend DAXXIFY for anyone who has received injectables like Botox and Fillers in the past, however, if it is your first time we might recommend Botox Cosmetic to start. Unlike fillers, Botox & DAXXIFY effects cannot be easily undone. For that reason, Botox is recommend to newer patients. 

What You Need To Know Before A Botox Cosmetic or DAXXIFY Appointment

But before undergoing this popular treatment, it’s important to do your research and turn to a trusted and highly qualified provider to see if this procedure is right for you. This is where Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery comes in. Schedule a consultation at their Hyannis or Plymouth offices, where a team of highly trained providers, including Master Injectors Malia McCoy and Zara Bogorff, will sit down with you to discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. The staff will put you at ease and answer your questions open and honestly. If the consultation goes well, the procedure can be performed right after the consultation—during the same visit.

Once the Botox kicks in within two weeks, you will look refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to show off your GORGEOUS new look! People will be asking you, “What is your secret to your youthful, well-rested look?” No one will ever have to know!
