Because flawless skin doesn’t happen overnight—it happens on purpose
Big day coming up? At KnoxGlow Aesthetics Med Spa in Knoxville, TN, I believe in planning your skincare journey like any other part of your event: early, intentionally, and with experts guiding every step.
Below is a clear, effective beauty timeline based on real clinical strategy—not guesswork.
I’ve built in recovery time, treatment intervals, and my favorite glow-boosting products, so all you have to do is follow the plan.
9–12 Months From Event: Start Strong
🧑⚕️ Skin Consultation
Book a full skin consultation with me! I am a 20 year experienced CRNA and skin care professional. I’ll assess your goals, skin concerns, and timeline, then build a plan that fits you—not just the calendar.
Whether your focus is texture, tone, scarring, or glow, this first step ensures your treatments build on each other.
🌙 Tretinoin
Start using a tretinoin (if you’re not already). Tretinoin speeds up cell turnover, improves fine lines, fades dark spots, and helps refine skin texture.
Because it can cause irritation when you first start, this early window gives your skin time to adjust gradually.
6–9 Months From Event: Test and Build
💉 Botox (First-Timers: 7–9 Months Out)
If you’ve never had wrinkle relaxers before, this is the perfect time to try.
Botox or Daxxify works by temporarily relaxing muscles that cause expression lines—think forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet. Trying it now gives you time to see how your face responds, how long it lasts, and what dose gives you the results you like.
💧 Dermal Filler (6 Months Out)
Filler can restore lost volume in the cheeks, lips, jawline, or under-eyes. Results are immediate, but swelling can last a few days and it may take time to adjust to the new look.
At 6 months out, you’ll have a refreshed, natural contour—and plenty of time for tweaks if needed.

🔬 Microneedling
Microneedling boosts collagen production by creating tiny controlled injuries in the skin. Over the following weeks, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even.
A series of 3+ sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is ideal for long-term texture improvement.
3–6 Months From Event: Target + Transform
✨ Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful treatments for texture issues like deep wrinkles, scarring, and sun damage.
It removes damaged skin layers and stimulates collagen renewal. Downtime can range from a few days to a week or more, depending on the depth. Doing this 3–6 months out gives your skin time to heal and regenerate.
🔬 Morpheus8 Radio Frequency Microneedling
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, reduce fine lines, smooth texture, and improve acne scars.
It works deep in the dermis to remodel collagen and boost skin elasticity. Expect visible improvement within weeks, with continued results over months.
For best outcomes, plan a series of treatments starting 3–6 months before your event.
💥 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is your go-to for pigmentation problems: sunspots, redness, broken capillaries, and general discoloration.
The pulses of light penetrate beneath the skin’s surface, targeting melanin and blood vessels without harming surrounding tissue. Most people need 2–3 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart—so start early.

🔄 Obagi Nu-Cil™ Lash Enhancing Serum
Healthy lashes take time to grow.
This conditioning treatment strengthens your lash cycle and enhances growth naturally—no extensions needed. Start at least 3 months out to enjoy your full lash potential.
1–3 Months From Event: Refine + Maintain
💉 Botox (Final Round – 6 Weeks Out)
If you’ve done Botox before, this is the ideal time for your final treatment. It kicks in after 7–14 days and lasts 3–4 months. Schedule it 6 weeks out so you have time for a follow-up touch-up if needed.
💥 IPL Follow-Up
If your provider recommends another IPL session, this is the window to do it. By now your skin is looking clearer and brighter, and one final round can perfect that even-toned glow.
🔬 Microneedling Follow-Up
Already seeing smoother skin? One last microneedling session will amplify your results and give your skin that plump, hydrated finish.
🍊 Chemical Peel
A mild chemical peel can be added at this stage (if your provider recommends it) to exfoliate dull skin, fade lingering spots, and boost brightness.
Done right, it requires minimal downtime and leaves skin smooth and glowing.

Week of the Event: Lock It In
🧖♀️ Dermaplaning
This exfoliating treatment gently removes dead skin and peach fuzz, allowing makeup to lay flawlessly. It’s painless, quick, and gives instant radiance.
💧 Aquagold Microchanneling with Customized Cocktail
If your skin’s looking tired, dull, or textured, Aquagold is a game-changer.
This micro-infusion treatment delivers a potent blend of skin-boosting ingredients just beneath the surface using gold-plated, hair-thin needles—no pain, no downtime, all glow.
Why I Love It
I always recommend adding Tox to your Aquagold cocktail. Why? Because microdosed neurotoxins (like Xeomin or Jeuveau) work differently here—they don’t freeze muscles like traditional injections. Instead, they smooth fine lines, tighten pores, reduce oiliness, and give your skin that soft-focus, filtered look.
Paired with B12 for a healthy glow and Hyaluronic Acid Filler for deep hydration, this cocktail gives you the kind of luminous, plump skin that gets compliments.
“I tried the Aquagold last week and I’m OBSESSED! My skin feels smoother, looks really glowy and fresh. I can’t wait for my next appointment!”
— JuliAna ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Day Before: Chill and Chill Some More
Time to take a deep breath. You’ve done the work. Your skin? Glowing. Your vibe? Immaculate.
- Do a hydrating sheet mask if your skin loves them
- Avoid heavy makeup the night before
- Sleep on a clean pillowcase (seriously, it makes a difference)
- Ice roller in the morning = your puff-busting, pore-tightening bestie
Day Of: Showtime, Baby!
You’re ready. Your skin is luminous, even, smooth, and you’re radiating that confident energy that only comes from knowing you prepped like a pro.
Wear what makes you feel amazing, snap all the photos, and let your glow do the talking.
