As summer approaches, so does the season of family vacations, beach weddings, pool parties, and more! If you’re planning to look your best for these occasions, it’s crucial to time your facial procedures correctly. From Botox to facelifts, each treatment has an optimal window for achieving peak results. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you plan and prepare for a radiant summer.
Understand the Downtime
Different facial procedures have varying recovery times, and knowing this can help you schedule treatments effectively:
– Wrinkle Relaxers and Fillers: These treatments are minimally invasive that typically require little to no downtime. You’ll want to plan these treatments at least two weeks before your event to ensure any swelling or bruising has time to subside.
– Laser Treatments: Laser resurfacing treatments significantly improve skin texture and tone. We offer several types of lasers with varying downtime: ClearLift, IPL, and Baby CO2 – No Downtime | Erbium – 7 to 14 days | CO2 Laser – 2 to 6 weeks.
– Facelifts: Although our facelift procedures are minimally invasive and follow the safest techniques, there is still downtime involved due to the incision points and the nature of the procedure. The Mini Imagelift requires a minimum of 4-7 days. The Mid Imagelift, Male Imagelift, Imagelift, and Deep Imagelift all require 7-10 days of social downtime; however, there will still be recovery time after this period as your incision points heal and swelling and bruising subside.
Consult with a Professional

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
Your lifestyle can greatly impact the results of your facial procedures. Ensure you’re:
- Hydrating: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
- Eating a Balanced Diet: Consume foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants to support skin health.
- Avoiding Excessive Sun Exposure: Too much sun can harm your skin, so wear protective clothing and seek shade when possible.
Post-Procedure Care
Follow all post-procedure care instructions provided by your surgeon or injector. This may include avoiding direct sunlight, refraining from certain skincare products, and being gentle with your skin to ensure optimal healing and results.
