Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! It's not too late to get botox injections. Be sure to seek a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who knows the facial anatomy to ensure you're getting the best results. It is usually best to do this procedure 4-6 weeks prior to your special event. Botox injections can take up to 2 weeks for the full effect and there is always a risk of slight bruising with any injections. However, some board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons will have technology (eg: AccuVein) to help avoid bruising with cosmetic injections. This will also give you adequate time to get additional units should you need a touch up at your 2 week follow up.
Thanks for your great question! Your new provider of Botox neuromodulator appears to have taken a conservative approach with the number of units to treat the intended areas.This was done with your best interest in mind. Touch ups are usually done at two weeks because the onset of action for Botox can take up to 2 weeks and to inject before can risk getting too many units which can result in unwanted side effects or a frozen look. Once the neuromodulator is injected it cannot be removed and of course more units can cost you more. If at the two week follow up you find that the units used to treat the intended area have give you the outcome you desire then you can consider it a cost savings as well.
