Why Do I Need a Follow-Up Appointment?
After receiving injectables like Botox or dermal fillers, follow-up appointments play a crucial role in ensuring you achieve optimal, long-lasting results. At Neu Look Med Spa, we schedule follow-ups to assess your final outcome, address any questions, and guide your ongoing aesthetic plan. Here’s why they matter:
1. Full Results Take Time to Appear
Most injectable treatments don’t show their full effect immediately. Here’s what to expect:
- Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Daxxify: These neurotoxins typically take up to 14 days to reach full effect. Our experienced injectors calculate your dose based on your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. While we can estimate the outcome, the final results won’t be visible until at least 10 days after treatment. That’s why we book a two-week touch-up appointment—especially for new patients—to evaluate your results and make any needed adjustments.
- Dermal Fillers: Fillers usually take 1–2 days for swelling to subside and up to 10 days to fully settle. Some bruising is normal. We recommend new patients return after 7 days so we can assess your results, answer any concerns, and make refinements if necessary.
2. Stay on Track with Your Aesthetic Plan
Follow-up visits are also an opportunity to continue your aesthetic journey. Many patients plan their next treatment—like microneedling, laser therapy, or additional filler—during this appointment. Seeing your injectable results first helps us build a thoughtful treatment timeline that supports your overall goals. Plus, it gives you time to budget, plan, and get excited for what’s next!
I Love My Results—Do I Still Need to Come In?
We’re so happy to hear you’re loving your results! Even if everything looks great, we still recommend attending your follow-up. It gives our injectors the chance to evaluate your outcome, make expert recommendations, and continue guiding your aesthetic plan—especially for first-time patients.
Need to Reschedule?
We completely understand life gets busy. If you can’t make your follow-up, just give us a call at 858-538-5665. This helps us manage our schedule and make room for other patients waiting to book.
Our goal is to make sure you leave every appointment looking and feeling your best. Let’s keep that momentum going with your follow-up visit!
