We have already mentioned cosmetic procedures “on the go” with a short rehabilitation period. And now, on the contrary, we propose to find out which techniques should not be used before important events. They asked Tatyana Gapeeva, dermatovenerologist and beautician at Sensavi Beauty Institute.

Fractional photothermolysis
Fraxel is a legend in the laser world. It can even out the skin while simultaneously combating wrinkles and sagging. After the first encounter with the device, the process of producing new collagen and elastin in the deep layers of the skin begins. However, you need to wait 10-14 days to see the result; for five of this period the face will remain swollen, darkened and peeling. Preliminary preparation will help you cope with rehabilitation faster – several sessions of biorevitalization or plasma therapy. However, it is not recommended to use this combination right before social events.
Microneedling RF lifting
Radiofrequency lifting is one of the most popular rejuvenation methods today. Ellisys Sense and Scarlet S devices work at a depth of 3-3.5 mm and stimulate the powerful neocollagenesis process without damaging the skin surface. And Ellisys Sense is an excellent alternative to surgical blepharoplasty. The device has a built-in vacuum grip technology so it can treat the entire area of the upper eyelids, right down to the lash margin. The beautician has the opportunity to adjust the power, and if an important event is approaching, the parameters can be reduced to a minimum, but in this case you should not expect a wow effect. If you operate at normal power, swelling, redness and peeling of the skin may last up to three days.
photo rejuvenation
The most popular devices for photorejuvenation are BBL and M22 – a threat to deep wrinkles and vague facial contours. It’s no secret that phototherapy is a lifesaver for any beautician, because the devices are equipped with different attachments to solve various problems. They are also suitable for treating post-acne scars, eliminating age spots and smoothing skin texture. But it is better to plan your session at least 2-3 weeks before the party. After all, if we are talking about pigmentation, for example, after the procedure the spots will darken within a week and only then peel off. Swelling and redness are also possible but usually do not last longer than 1-2 days.
The classic BBL protocol should not be confused with the Skin Tyte procedure using the same device. It falls into the “Cinderella effect” category and is recommended just before going out.
Biorevitalization and biological repair
Here we are talking about the drugs we apply using the papular method. After these, bumps (papules) remain on the skin for about two days, and there is also a risk of bruising at the injection sites.
But there is an alternative – drugs injected into bioaesthetic points located around the face: near the ears, in the corners of the chin, under the cheekbones and under the chin. In this case, small tubercles may remain at the injection sites, which dissolve faster than a day. In any case, they are much easier to hide with make-up than papules from classic biorevitalization.
thread removal
If you want to give a clear line to your face or tighten the skin in the chin, neck and décolleté area, thread lift is one of the best tools. This is a minimally invasive method, meaning it requires minimal downtime, especially when compared to surgical removal methods. But you will still have to be patient – the procedure requires 5-7 days of facial rest, that is, no smiling or other signs of emotion. You should also prepare for swelling.
botulinum treatment
Yes and no. On the one hand, there are no visible scars left after botulinum treatment. On the other hand, the drug is not very friendly with alcohol, so taking it before a party is not the best idea. Botulinum toxin must be given time to take full effect. Therefore, it is better to introduce it at the beginning of December and come for “refueling” in the middle of the month.
