Many brides want to look perfect for their wedding day. As such, they are willing to undergo cosmetic procedures such as cosmetic Botox to look their best. If you want to hide wrinkles or lines on your forward, near your eyes or around your mouth, you too may be planning on getting a Botox treatment for your special day. However, if you have never had this done before, you may have many questions. Here are a few questions you may have about Botox and the answers.
What Timeline Should a Bride Follow When Getting Botox Before a Wedding?
Ideally, you will want to get your first Botox treatment six months before the wedding. Botox lasts for four months, so getting the first treatment six months out allows a doctor to determine how much you need, how Botox settles into your face, and any side effects you may have. It is then recommended you have your next treatment about two months before your wedding, when your initial treatment fades. This way, your face will still look fresh for the wedding and honeymoon, and the Botox will have had time to settle.
If you didn't realize you should get treatment that far out, yet you want Botox for your wedding, make an appointment at least six weeks before your wedding. It takes Botox two weeks to settle. So if you get a treatment six weeks out, you have time to visit a doctor and have any corrections made before your wedding and still have time for those corrections to settle as well.
How Quickly Can I Wear Makeup After Getting Botox?
Prior to your wedding, you may meet with a makeup artist if you are having a professional do your makeup for the big day. However, if you have just had Botox, you may wonder how soon you can put makeup on your face. Fortunately, you only have to wait a matter of hours after getting Botox to put makeup on. Most professionals recommend waiting about four hours. If you plan on getting Botox, meet with your makeup professional after the Botox has settled so they can get a good feel for what products work best with the elasticity and firmness in your facial skin.
Are There Any Special Precautions to Take on My Honeymoon After Getting Botox?
There are myths out there that you may be more prone to sunburns if you have Botox or that you need to follow a different skin care regime with Botox. However, this is not the case. As such, whether you have had Botox or not, you will want to take care of your facial skin in the same manner. Ensure you wear a hat and sunblock to protect your face, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and use a mild facial cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt and other residue from your face before you go to bed.
If you are interested in cosmetic Botox for your wedding day, consult with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon as soon as possible. They can help you determine if this treatment is best for the issues you want to correct, or if there are other treatments that may better meet your needs. They can also answer any additional questions you have.
