Holiday Prep: When to Schedule Your Med Spa Treatments for Maximum Impact
During the transition from summer to fall, the holidays are right at the forefront of everyone’s minds. For many, the holiday season is packed with back-to-back parties, plans, and obligations. It can be difficult to remember to schedule med spa treatments, but before you know it, you may have gone weeks or months without a maintenance visit.
Many med spa treatments – including dermal fillers, Botox, and laser treatments – are better when scheduled ahead of time. You don’t want to take Christmas photos with redness or swelling from the laser treatment you scheduled at the last minute or have tender lips when you sit down for Thanksgiving dinner.
This is your reminder to think ahead for the holiday season. Take some time to plan out your med spa treatments now so you go into the holidays feeling beautiful, confident, and fully prepared.
Benefits of a Med Spa Consultation
Before you book any treatment at Stadia Med Spa, you are fully welcome to come in for a free consultation. The free consultation is designed to answer any questions, address concerns, and allow your Med Spa experts to discuss your options.
The med spa consultation also has many other benefits. After they discuss your goals, your Med Spa expert can create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and desired results.
The consultation is especially beneficial for clients that:
- Want to optimize the results of their treatments
- Have existing medical conditions that may affect their treatment
- Want to combine aesthetic treatments and need to plan recovery time for each of them
- May need several treatments and maintenance visits to maintain their appearance
- Have busy schedules and don’t want to get behind on their treatments
The holidays are a stressful time without worrying about your treatment schedule. If you take the time to plan your med spa treatments, you set yourself up for success.
Plan Ahead
Botox, dermal fillers, and laser therapy are popular treatments in the months leading up to the holidays. If you wait until the last minute to schedule, you may be disappointed.
When you plan ahead, you ensure that you receive the best time slots for your schedule.
Everyone wants to look and feel their best to fully enjoy holiday gatherings. If you know you will want a confidence boost this holiday season, start thinking about scheduling your treatments as soon as possible.
The holidays are also a particularly stressful time for everyone. A vast majority of people feel like they don’t have enough time to get everything done during the holiday season. You can reduce your stress by planning ahead now and making sure you schedule all of your maintenance and self-care treatments ahead of time.
Many med spa treatments require multiple sessions for optimal results, laser therapies included. Discuss your exact treatment plan during your consultation so you can make sure you schedule all of your appointments before the busy holiday season.
Perfect Timing
So, now you know why you need to plan ahead for your med spa treatments for maximum impact, but how far ahead should you book?
Many med spa treatments – including Botox and dermal fillers – take time to show their full effects. Depending on the treatment and your goals, you may need to wait a few weeks before you see the desired results.
Here are Stadia Med Spa’s general recommendations. (Keep in mind that everyone’s reactions are a little different, so it’s better to be on the safe side.)
Dermal Fillers
Injectables like dermal fillers commonly cause some minor swelling and bruising. For clients who receive regular injections, you know that you may look or feel puffy for a few days after your treatment. Scheduling your dermal fillers 2 to 4 weeks before an event allows for any potential bruising or swelling to subside.
Botox
First-time Botox users should leave 3 or 4 weeks of recovery time before an event to give the treatment time to work. It also ensures you have plenty of time to recover if you react to the injections themselves.
Botox is injected into the muscles to prevent dynamic wrinkles, and the first treatment doesn’t provide instant results. It may take anywhere from a week to two weeks to see maximum results.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy treatments, including skin resurfacing and chemical peels, leave your skin temporarily red and irritated. You want to schedule them a few weeks before your holiday parties to give your skin time to heal. On average it takes between 1 and 2 weeks for your skin to heal.

Don’t Forget Follow-Up and Maintenance!
When you are planning your med spa treatments in advance for your ideal holiday look, don’t forget to schedule follow-up and maintenance visits. Many clients overlook the fact that they may need several visits to achieve their desired results, assuming that one session will be enough.
But most treatments, including dermal fillers, Botox, and laser therapy, require maintenance for optimal and sustained results.
Booking your first treatment in advance is the first step. But to keep your results looking fresh, consider scheduling a follow-up session as recommended by your Stadia Med Spa provider. Your time is important – especially during the holidays – and you don’t want to miss out on a touch-up or adjustment because your schedule is full!
Don’t let the busyness of the holiday season catch you off guard. By planning both your initial treatments and follow-up sessions ahead of time, you can enjoy a stress-free holiday season with glowing skin and plenty of confidence!
