How Far In Advance Should I Get Botox Before My Wedding?
Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life, so naturally you want to look and feel your best. For many brides (and even grooms), preparation includes smoothing fine lines or refreshing their appearance with Botox. But before you book an appointment, here’s what you need to know about getting Botox before your big day.
Botox is a popular, minimally invasive treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of lines, especially those on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. It can give you a fresher, more rested look without changing your natural expressions when done properly. Botox can soften lines for a smoother complexion in wedding photos, knock the stress of wedding planning off your face and even reduce excessive sweating at your summer afternoon wedding.
If you’re considering Botox for your wedding, the most important factor is when to get it.
Plan your first treatment at least 3–6 months before the wedding, especially if you’re new to Botox. This gives you time to see how your body responds to treatment, make adjustments to locations and amounts, let swelling or bruising resolve and leaves you time for touchups.
Botox results typically start to appear within 3–7 days, with full results visible by 2 weeks. Results will last about 3-4 months. Schedule a touchup 4-6 weeks before the big day so you’ll be looking your best, but not at risk of the treatment wearing off. With the right timing, it’ll even last you through your honeymoon!
