Work backward from your first big date
Some treatments look great within days. Others build over weeks, and some need a quiet recovery window. Here’s when to book so you’re not scrambling the week of an event.
Plan your visits
Circle your must-look-good dates and choose the treatments you’re curious about.
Start Sculptra®
Results build gradually over a series of visits, so it’s the first one to begin.
Book injectables & peels
Wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, peels and the MicroLaser Peel, so results and recovery can settle.
Thanksgiving
Aim to already be settled into your look.
Clinic closed
Christmas
Clinic closed
New Year’s Eve
Closed Fri, Jan 1
Book-by dates leave about two weeks for results to settle. Sculptra® builds gradually, so start the series by Nov 1 for any of the holidays.
| Treatment | ThanksgivingThu, Nov 26 | ChristmasFri, Dec 25 | New Year’s EveThu, Dec 31 | What to plan for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wrinkle relaxers | Results often begin in about 3–5 days, with full effect around 7–14 days. Leave room for a follow-up visit. | |||
| Dermal fillers | Filler typically settles over about 1–2 weeks; bruising, if any, often resolves in about 3–7 days. | |||
| Sculptra® | A series of about 2–3 sessions, 4–8 weeks apart. Results build gradually over about 4–12 weeks. | |||
| VI Peel® | About 5–7 days of recovery, with peeling most noticeable around days 3–5. | |||
| Perfect Derma Peel | Peeling often begins around days 3–4 and can last through about day 7. | |||
| MicroLaser Peel | About 1–3 days of downtime at lighter depths, 4–5 days for a medium peel. |
“I always tell patients to plan backward from the event. Booking a couple of weeks ahead gives your skin time to settle, and because everyone responds a little differently, it’s smart to leave room for a follow-up visit.”
— Pegi Stewart, MSN, ARNP, NP-C
Leave room for a touch-up
Neuromodulators and fillers sometimes need a small adjustment after results settle.
Stack carefully
Peels, laser and injectables can often be sequenced in one season, but not always on the same day. Your provider will say what’s safe for your skin.
Leave a buffer
Life (and Eastside traffic) happens. A little extra time beats a last-minute squeeze.
Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, with Christmas and New Year’s close behind. Plan your treatments now so every result has time to settle before the gatherings and the photos.
Book the treatment, right from here
Each button opens online booking for that treatment. Your provider will personalize the plan to your skin and your calendar.
Botox®, Dysport®, DAXXIFY® & Letybo®
Neurotoxins that soften forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet.
Dermal fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers for lips, cheeks, chin, jawline and under-eyes.
Sculptra®
A collagen biostimulator for gradual, natural-looking volume.
VI Peel®
A medium-depth peel for acne, dark spots, fine lines and sun damage.
Perfect Derma Peel
A medical-grade glutathione peel for dark spots, melasma, acne and fine lines.
MicroLaser Peel
Light laser resurfacing for texture, fine lines, acne scars and sun damage.
Considering CO₂ resurfacing? Plan further ahead.
Our CO₂ pages describe about 5–7 days of downtime for Renew CO₂ and about 10–14 days for deeper Restore protocols, plus prep in the weeks before. Ask your provider whether CO₂ still fits your calendar, or whether a lighter peel or MicroLaser Peel is a better match this season.
