The holidays are one of the busiest times of year for Botox at Aesthetic Beauty Lab, and timing makes all the difference. Book too late and you may still be waiting for your results at the party. Here is how to plan so you look rested and refreshed, not just treated.
How long Botox takes to work
Most people start to notice a difference in 3 to 5 days, with full results at about 14 days. Results typically last about 3 to 4 months, so a fall or early winter appointment can carry you through the whole holiday season.
When to book for holiday events
- Book at least 2 weeks before any event so your results have fully settled.
- For Thanksgiving (November 26), book by about November 10.
- For mid-December parties and family photos, book by late November.
- For New Year's Eve, book by about December 15.
- If it is your first time, give yourself 3 to 4 weeks so there is time for a follow-up visit if you want one.
Holiday weeks fill up fast. If you have a date in mind, book early and put your event on the calendar at least two weeks after your appointment.
Popular areas before the holidays
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows (the "11s")
- Crow's feet around the eyes
- A lip flip for a softer upper lip
- A full face refresh with Tox Confetti
Pair it with a glow facial
For photo-ready skin, many clients add a HydraFacial or Glass Glow facial before their event. Your provider will help you plan the timing of your facial and your Botox so everything is settled before the big day.
