Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I start planning?

For the best outcome, begin 6 to 12 months before your event. That stretch of time lets surgical procedures heal properly and gives treatments like Sculptra the months they need to build collagen gradually, layer by layer. Even with just 4 to 6 weeks, injectables and skin treatments can still make a real difference.

Can I combine multiple treatments?

Yes. Most treatments can be combined safely. Your provider will build a coordinated plan that spaces each one out properly, so downtime periods never overlap.

What if my event is less than 2 weeks away?

You still have options. HydraFacial, AquaFirmeXS, and light facials can bring instant glow with no downtime at all. This close to your event, we recommend holding off on anything new that could cause swelling or bruising.

Is this timeline personalized to me?

This planner gives you a sensible starting point, based on typical treatment timelines and recovery periods. At your consultation, Dr. McGovern's team will refine that plan around your own skin, health history, and goals.
