When to Book Your Tox Appointments for the Holidays
Smooth skin takes time—here’s exactly when to schedule your Botox or Dysport to glow your brightest this holiday season.
Whether you’re planning family photos, a holiday party, or just want to feel refreshed heading into the busiest time of year, your timing matters. Neurotoxins like Dysport and Botox aren’t instant—they work gradually, with peak results showing up a few weeks post-treatment. That means if you want to look your best for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Eve… the time to plan is now.
Here’s a breakdown of the ideal timeline for holiday tox, and how many days you have from October 13th to each key event.
Ideal Event Dates for Holiday Tox
Halloween: October 17
Thanksgiving: November 13
Christmas: December 11
New Year’s Eve: December 31
If you’re aiming to be in your glow phase for any of these events, plan to book your appointment 2–6 weeks ahead of time for best results.
Understanding the “Glow Phase”
Most neurotoxins take about 10–14 days to fully kick in. But the magic doesn’t stop there—clients consistently report that weeks 3 to 5 post-treatment are when they feel their most radiant.
Here’s what makes that sweet spot so special:
Skin appears tighter and more luminous
Fine lines are softened
Expression is still natural and dynamic, not frozen
You look like you — just a bit more rested, lifted, and confident
That’s why we often refer to weeks 3–5 as the glow phase — and it’s the ideal time for holiday photos and events.
Tox Timeline: What to Expect After Injection
0–3 days: Tox is binding to receptors — no visible change yet
4–7 days: Subtle muscle relaxation begins
10–14 days: Full effect sets in
3–6 weeks: Peak results — smooth, soft, radiant
8–10 weeks: Gradual return of movement
12–16 weeks: Results fade — time to refresh
Want to Look Your Best in Holiday Photos?
The golden photo window is Days 21–35 after your tox treatment. That’s when your results are fully visible but still natural-looking, and your skin looks smooth, plump, and glowing — without makeup filters or heavy edits.
