The golden rule: start early, finish early
The single biggest mistake is booking anything new in the final week. Injectables settle over two weeks, lasers can leave temporary redness, and you want zero surprises in the photos. Everything below is built around one idea: your last treatment should be comfortably before the big day, not on top of it.
3 months out — the foundation
This is when to start anything that works gradually or needs a series. Collagen biostimulators (like Sculptra) build over months, so now is the window. Laser resurfacing or a series of Soprano Ice sessions for smooth, hair-free skin also belong here — they need spacing and healing time. If you've never had Botox, a first trial now lets you see how you respond with room to adjust.
1 month out — refine
Botox lands beautifully at this mark: injected now, it's fully settled and natural by the wedding, with time for a two-week review to perfect any asymmetry. Lip or facial filler also fits here — the swelling is long gone and the shape has settled by the day. This is the "refinement" window, not the "experiment" window: stick to treatments you already know suit you.

1–2 weeks out — the glow
Now for the light stuff that makes skin luminous without any risk of a mark: an IV vitamin drip for hydration and energy, a gentle glow facial or skin booster. These have no downtime and are exactly what you want the week your guests arrive and the pre-wedding events begin.
The final days — hands off
No new injectables, no aggressive facials, no first-time anything. Hydrate, sleep, wear SPF, and let everything you planned do its work. If you're flying in from abroad, an IV drip on arrival helps with travel fatigue and puffiness.
Why plan it with one clinic in Tulum
Doing this well means sequencing several treatments around one date — which is far easier with a single clinic that maps the whole timeline with you. At your complimentary consultation we build a calendar backward from your wedding day, so each treatment lands at its best moment. Care is bilingual and follow-up is by WhatsApp, useful when half the planning happens before you land.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I start?
Ideally three months for anything that builds gradually or needs a series, and one month for Botox and filler. The last thing to do is a glow treatment one to two weeks out.
Can I get Botox the week of my wedding?
We don't recommend it. Botox needs about two weeks to fully settle and for any fine-tuning. Book it a month ahead so it's perfect on the day.
What's safe in the final days?
Only no-downtime glow treatments like an IV drip or a gentle facial, and ideally nothing brand new. Save experiments for well before.
