As we move into fall and winter, cold and flu season ramps up and so does the demand for aesthetic treatments before the holidays. At Sage Aesthetic Wellness, your safety and results are always our top priority, which is why timing your appointments around vaccinations and illness is so important.
✨ Space Vaccines and Aesthetic Treatments by at Least 2 Weeks
If you’re planning to receive a flu shot, COVID booster, or any other vaccination, we recommend keeping a minimum two-week buffer between your vaccine and your aesthetic appointment. Here’s why:
-
Your immune system needs time to respond to the vaccine without the added stress of a procedure.
-
Swelling and inflammation are more likely if treatments like Botox, fillers, or PRF are done too close to a vaccine.
-
If a reaction does occur, spacing helps us clearly determine the cause, whether it is from the vaccine or the treatment.
This timing helps protect both your comfort and your cosmetic outcome.
🤧 Feeling Sick? It’s Best to Reschedule
Cold symptoms, sinus infections, and even mild illness can impact how your body responds to treatment. Coming in while sick may:
-
Increase inflammation and swelling
-
Heighten discomfort or sensitivity during treatment
-
Slow healing and affect your final results
-
Spread illness to other patients and staff
Rescheduling when you’re under the weather is not an inconvenience. It is part of ensuring the safest and most effective experience possible.
🍂 Plan Ahead for Fall and Holiday Appointments
With holiday events, family photos, and social gatherings around the corner, appointments fill up quickly. If you’re getting vaccinated this season or think you may be fighting off a bug, booking ahead allows us to help you plan the perfect time for your treatment. And as always, please plan treatments at least 2-4 weeks before an important social event or photos.
If you're unsure how to schedule around a vaccine or illness, just reach out. Our team is here to guide you. At Sage Aesthetic Wellness, we want you looking and feeling your best, safely and beautifully, all season long.
