Timing your beauty treatments correctly is crucial for looking your best at a big event. Book too close and you risk swelling or adverse reactions. Book too far out and results may have faded.

- Schedule a consultation for any new procedures
3 Months Before
- Get a trial run of your event hair and makeup
- Begin facial treatment series (monthly facials)
- Start teeth whitening treatments
- Consider microblading (allows full healing)
1 Month Before
- Final Botox touch-up
- Dermal filler adjustments
- Deep conditioning hair treatments
1-2 Weeks Before
- Final facial (nothing aggressive)
- Eyelash extension full set
