Schedule the procedures you want early on.
If you think that getting a facial a couple of days before the event is a good idea, you better move the appointment two weeks before the big day. Facial can cause breakouts as it cleanses your pores. Extractions, on the other hand, can cause redness and dark spots on parts of your face. Give your face the time to recover. As a matter of fact, the best time to see the effect is two weeks after. Surely, you will be sporting that post-facial glow.
The same can be said if you want to get certain procedures like botox and fillers. To avoid looking like a bruised fruit, get the procedures not later than two weeks before. Talk to the doctor about the options you have, if the product that will be used is FDA approved or CE marked. In Salt Lake City, lip fillers vary, depending on the result you want.
