We recommend starting 12 weeks (3 months) before your event for optimal results. This allows time for 3 microneedling sessions with proper healing between each. If you have less time, we can create a condensed 8-week protocol, but results may be less dramatic. Last-minute (4 weeks or less)? We focus on Dysport and vitamin support only—no microneedling.
Expect 1-3 days of redness, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients are comfortable going out the next day with mineral makeup if needed. Avoid direct sun, retinols, and active skincare for 5-7 days post-treatment. We schedule your final session 2-3 weeks before your event so you're fully healed with maximum glow.
Absolutely—many brides and event clients combine Radiance with Align for a total transformation. We'll coordinate your protocols so you're losing weight while improving your skin. Starting both 3-4 months out gives you the best results. We offer package pricing for combined programs.
Microneedling results (collagen improvement) can last 6-12 months with proper skincare. Dysport typically lasts 3-4 months. To maintain your glow, we recommend quarterly microneedling and Dysport touch-ups. Many clients transition to our Evolve program for ongoing longevity and skin health.
