Botox For Brides: The Wedding Ready Timeline
Your wedding day is one of the most photographed moments of your life, and every bride (and groom!) wants to feel like their best self. If you're considering Botox or Dysport before your wedding, timing is everything. These wrinkle-relaxing treatments smooth fine lines and prevent makeup from settling into creases, giving you a fresh glow. But when should you schedule your appointment for optimal results? We’ve created the ultimate timeline to help you plan your pre-wedding treatments with confidence.
Why Get Botox Before Your Wedding?
Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved neurotoxins that temporarily relax facial muscles, softening wrinkles and fine lines. They are commonly used to treat:
Forehead lines – Smooth horizontal lines for a flawless, camera-ready look.
Frown lines – Soften the deep creases between your eyebrows.
Crow’s feet – Reduce fine lines around your eyes for a more youthful expression.
Jawline slimming & TMJ relief – Create a more sculpted, relaxed jawline.
Lip flip – Subtly enhance the upper lip for a fuller appearance.
Whether you want to prevent stress lines from showing up in photos or achieve a refined, natural look, Botox and Dysport are the go-to solutions for brides and grooms prepping for their big day.
6 Months Before the Wedding: Consultation + First Treatment
If you’ve never had Botox or Dysport before, schedule a consultation about six months before your wedding. This allows you to:
Discuss your goals and create a customized treatment plan.
Try a test round of injectables to see how your body responds.
Adjust your dosage or treatment areas as needed.
Pro Tip: If you’re also considering dermal fillers for cheek enhancement, jawline definition, or lip enhancement, this is the ideal time to start planning those treatments as well.
1-2 Months Before the Wedding: Treatment + Refinement
By now, you’ll have a clear understanding of how Botox or Dysport works with your facial expressions. This is the perfect window to schedule your second treatment, ensuring a natural, long-lasting look.
If your first treatment was a success, your injector can replicate or slightly tweak your results for optimal balance.
If you need any adjustments, such as refining asymmetry or targeting additional areas, this is the time to do it.
This round of treatment will carry you flawlessly through the wedding and honeymoon.
3-4 Weeks Before the Wedding: Final Botox Touch Up
This is your last opportunity for injectables before your big day. Most clients prefer to have their final treatment about a month before the wedding to:
Allow full results to settle (Botox & Dysport peak at 10-14 days).
Avoid any potential bruising or swelling.
Make sure movement looks natural and expressions remain balanced.
Pro Tip: Avoid trying any new treatments too close to the wedding. Stick with what you know works for you!
The Week of the Wedding: Glow + Relax!
By now, your Botox or Dysport results will be fully set, and your skin will look smooth, radiant, and refreshed. Focus on hydration, skincare, and stress management to ensure a healthy glow on your big day.
Continue using a moisturizer and SPF to keep your skin in top condition.
Get plenty of rest and hydration—dehydration can make skin look dull.
Consider getting a Hydrafacial treatment to leave your skin hydrated and glowing.
