Planning treatments around the event

If you plan to combine the event with treatments, book anything with downtime (fillers, lasers, thread lifts or surgery) at least 1–2 weeks earlier, and keep no-downtime options such as laser toning, Aqua Peel or skin botox for the days around it. See our event-ready skin guide.
