Congratulations, Austin brides and grooms-to-be! As you plan for your special day, you're likely considering every detail to ensure you look and feel your best. Among the many decisions to make, you might be wondering about cosmetic procedures like Botox. If you're thinking about enhancing your natural beauty with Botox injections before your wedding, timing is crucial. So, when exactly should you get Botox and filler before your big day? Let’s dive in below:
Botox Before Your Wedding, Planning is Key: Start Early, Not Last Minute
Here's the secret, ladies and gents: don't wait until the week before your wedding to consider Botox. While it might seem like a quick fix, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Botox, a neuromodulator, takes around two weeks to show its full effects and lasts roughly 3-4 months. So, planning is crucial to achieve the natural, radiant look you desire.

Embrace the "Trial Run": 8 Months Out is Your Sweet Spot
Ideally, start your Botox journey at least 8 months before your wedding, what we like to call a “trial run”. This gives you ample time for:
- Consultation: Discuss your goals and concerns with a practitioner like the experts at The Piazza Center. They'll create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs.
- Trial Run: This initial appointment allows you to see how your body reacts to Botox and tweak the dosage or injection sites if needed. Remember, everyone's different!
- Fine-Tuning: With a few months buffer, you can schedule touch-up appointments to ensure the perfect results for your wedding day.
- Timing: this allows you to have a trial treatment at the eight-month mark, followed by a treatment three months later for consistency, and then your last treatment a month before your wedding day.
When to get Filler before your Wedding
If you’re also looking to add filler to your regimen, we recommend your first filler treatment at the six-month mark and then your last filler treatment a maximum of one month out before your big day to allow for downtime from bruising and or swelling.
One Month Out: The Final Botox Touches
Around one month before your wedding, schedule your final Botox appointment. This ensures:
- Optimal Timing: The effects will kick in just in time for your big day, leaving you with a refreshed, natural look.
- Buffer Room: If any minor side effects like temporary bruising or swelling occur, they'll have time to fully resolve before your photos and ceremony.
Remember, Austin brides and grooms:
- Safety First: Always choose a qualified healthcare professional experienced in Botox injections. The Piazza Center's team of expert nurse injectors prioritizes your safety and satisfaction.
- Realistic Expectations: Botox isn't a magic wand, and communication is key. Discuss your desired outcome openly with your provider to ensure realistic expectations.
- Holistic Approach: Botox can be a great tool, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper hydration, sleep, and a balanced diet for a truly radiant glow. For our full recommendations for prepping for your wedding day, check out our bridal packages.
