One of my favorite things about summer is how many fun events happen! Then before you know it, wedding season is upon us. Many of my clients come to me with a big event in mind wanting to look and feel their best. So what is the best plan to get you event-ready?

Of course there is no right answer for everyone, and the best treatments will be customized based on your needs and goals, but here are a few of my favorite pre- event services and a good timeline for how to plan out your treatments:

Your Pre-Event Aesthetic Plan

6 Months Pre-Event

· Perfect your skincare regimen: If you are not already using a solid skincare regimen, this is a great time to start. Getting your skin looking its best involves a daily commitment at home, so come on in for a complimentary skincare consult and let’s work out a great routine for you!

5 Months Pre-Event

· Consider Microneedling: If your skin is looking dull or saggy, get a collagen boost by starting a series of microneedling 5 months before the big event. Microneedling is best when completed in a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Since this is a regenerative treatment, you will want to give yourself plenty of time before the event to ensure you see your best results.

· Consider PRF injections: a perfect pairing with microneedling, PRF injections can further improve your skin texture and overall appearance. This is also a regenerative treatment so giving yourself plenty of time before the event will allow for the best result.

· Get your Tox: If you have never had tox (Botox, Dysport) before, this is a great time to start. For some clients with deep etched in lines, more than 1 tox treatment will be necessary to improve these. You must wait a minimum of 90 days between treatments, so come in now and we can re treat you shortly before your event!

4 Months Pre-Event

· Medium depth/Spicy peels: If discoloration or texture are an issue for you, this is the right time to start a series of ZO 3 Step Peels. The healing process for this peel is 7 days, and most people experience significant peeling during days 3-5. Sometimes I recommend a series of multiple peels for best results.

3 Months Pre-Event

· Filler Time: This is a great time to address any volume loss or enhancements you’d like to make. Depending on your needs, this could range from full face filler (the Bevel Up Lift) to a smidge of lip filler. Bruising and swelling is normal for 2 weeks after the procedure, so make sure you do not have any vacations/pictures/other events scheduled during that healing period.

· No Downtime Peels: This is also a great time to start a series of no downtime or AlphaRet Pro Peels if you are not doing the medium depth peels. This will ensure you have the glowing skin you are working so hard for!

6 Weeks Pre-Event

· Final Tox treatment: This is the ideal time to get Botox/Dysport before the event. This ensures the toxin is working but has also had time to “loosen up” so you look your most natural.

2 Weeks Pre-Event

· Consider a HydraNeedle Facial: This special blend of filler, vitamins, and toxin will be lightly stamped into the skin giving you the perfect pre-event glow. The face is mild to moderately red the day of treatment and typically resolves by the next day. This is the ultimate pre- event treatment to give you a significant result in a short period of time.

1-2 Days Pre-Event

· Come in and relax with a no downtime peel. This peel will leave you radiant and glowing and perfect your skin for the big event. The deep exfoliation also ensures your makeup sits flawlessly! 

If time flew by and you are starting your aesthetic journey last minute, we can still make improvements before your event. Come in for a consultation as soon as possible and we can put a plan in place to get you feeling amazing in no time!
