How Soon Before an Event Should I Schedule Botox or Fillers?

Are you planning for a big event in Toronto—perhaps a wedding, corporate gathering, or an important party—and wondering when you should book your injectable appointment? Achieving a fresh, radiant look with Botox or dermal fillers requires not just expert technique but also perfect timing. At The Scene | Medical Beauty Bar, we provide guidance on precisely when to schedule your Botox or filler treatments so you can shine with natural confidence at every milestone.

Understanding How Botox and Fillers Work

Injectables like Botox and dermal fillers are popular, non-surgical procedures for reducing fine lines, restoring facial volume, and refreshing your overall appearance. Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, while dermal fillers—often composed of hyaluronic acid—smooth and plump targeted facial zones. Understanding how these treatments work helps you plan ahead for optimal event-ready results.

Timing Matters: When Should You Book Botox?

Botox in Toronto typically takes about 3-7 days to start working, with full effects visible at around two weeks post-treatment. Because results can vary slightly depending on individual skin and muscle response, scheduling is crucial if you want to showcase your best self at an event.

For the best outcome, schedule your Botox appointment at least 2-3 weeks before your special event. This timeline allows:

- The neurotoxin enough time to relax facial muscles and smooth lines.

- Any minor swelling, redness, or bruising to fade completely.

- Ample opportunity for a follow-up or minor adjustments, if needed.

For those new to Botox, we recommend an initial consultation at The Scene Medical Beauty Bar to tailor the treatment plan to your unique needs and lifestyle.

Best Timing for Dermal Fillers Before an Event

Dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm restore youthful plumpness to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under eyes. Fillers provide visible results almost immediately, but some minor swelling or bruising may occur after your session.

To look flawless for your event, book your dermal filler appointment 3-4 weeks in advance. This ensures:

- Adequate time for minor swelling and bruising to diminish.

- The filler to fully integrate and settle, revealing the most natural-looking contours.

- Room to book a touch-up if you desire any refinements.

If you’re preparing for major Toronto occasions like galas, holiday celebrations, or milestone birthdays, this lead time will guarantee you enjoy your refreshed appearance without stress.

Factors That Influence Your Ideal Injectable Schedule

Your individualized treatment plan and timeline may be influenced by:

- The area(s) being treated: Larger or more sensitive areas may need extra time to settle.

- Your skin’s unique healing response and history with injectables.

- The type of filler or neurotoxin used (some may process or settle faster than others).

- Your event plans—consider if you’ll be photographed, exposed to flash, or meeting people outdoors in daylight.

Consider these extra tips locals love:

- Schedule your appointment for earlier in the week if your event is on a weekend, for maximum healing time.

- Avoid alcohol, high-sodium foods, and intense workouts a day or two before and after treatment to minimize swelling.

- Be gentle with your face; avoid facials, massages, or waxing in the days leading up to your injectable appointment.
