Plan Ahead for Holiday Radiance: When to Book Your Injectable Treatments Before Christmas
Learn when to book Botox® and filler treatments before the holidays to achieve smooth, natural results in time for Christmas photos and year-end celebrations.
The holiday season brings connection, celebration, and more photo ops than any other time of year.
Whether you’re heading to an office party, a family gathering, or a winter escape, many patients come to us wanting to look refreshed and confident before the festivities begin.To help you time your treatments just right, our physician-led team has created a simple guide on how far in advance to schedule your injectables, so you’re camera-ready when it matters most.
Why Timing Matters for Injectables
Injectable treatments like Botox®, Dysport®, and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers work beautifully, but not instantaneously.
Your skin and underlying tissues need time to respond, settle, and reveal their most natural results. Proper planning ensures:
- Results look smooth and harmonious
- Any minor swelling or bruising has fully resolved
- You feel confident and refreshed for the holidays
Botox® / Dysport® For a Smooth, Refreshed Look
If you’re hoping to soften lines around the eyes, forehead, or between the brows before the holidays, plan at least 2 weeks ahead, though 3–4 weeks is ideal. Here’s why:
- Botox® / Dysport® results become visible around 5–7 days after treatment
- Full effect takes about 14 days
- At 3–4 weeks, everything has settled beautifully, the perfect timing for your best look
Pro tip: Book your appointment in mid-to-late November to be photo-ready for every December event.
Filler Treatments For Lift, Definition, and Glow
HA fillers restore structure and volume while enhancing facial balance. Depending on the areas treated, timing can vary slightly:
| Treatment Area | Recommended Timing Before Holidays | Notes |
| Cheeks, Jawline, Temples, or Full-Face | 4 weeks | Allows time for swelling to subside and results to integrate naturally |
| Lips or Tear Trough (Under-Eye Area) | 2 weeks | Mild swelling resolves within days; results refine beautifully by the two-week mark |
This ensures you’ll look fresh, not “just treated,” and that your results appear natural, refined, and effortless, as they always should.
