Juvederm
Juvederm 2 Weeks Before a Christmas Party?
2 weeks might be sufficient time to have Juvederm done and to have time for healing from the possible swelling and bruising that may result. The swelling normally reduces after 2-3 days. The bruising can last anywhere from 5-10 days. The only thing that may prevent you from healing in time for your event is the small possibility that you may need a touch up if anything is uneven, which may start the healing process over again. If you are thinking about having Botox or Dysport done, keep in mind that the product takes 3-7 days to start seeing the effects and it takes its full effect at 2 weeks, so you might want to allow yourself more time if you need a touchup.
Clinical Context
Two weeks is generally enough time for the areas typically treated with Juvederm, like lips, cheeks, or nasolabial folds, since these regions have looser tissue that swells and settles faster than thinner-skinned areas like under the eyes. Bruising depends on whether a needle happens to nick a small vessel, which is somewhat unpredictable but usually fades within that window. The gel itself integrates and adds volume right away, so the main variable before your party is simply how your skin resolves swelling and bruising, not how the filler settles.
