All treatments at a glance
| Botox | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | Neither toxin label we read states a downtime period. They list effects such as eyelid drooping, headache and bruising or swelling at the injection site. |
|---|---|---|
| Filler | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | The FDA says swelling and bruising usually appear soon after injection and many resolve within a few days to weeks. It gives no exact figure. |
| Skin Botox (baby Botox) | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No source gives a routine downtime. If toxin reaches deeper muscle, one review says the temporary muscle weakness usually settles within 2 to 3 weeks. |
| Skin booster | Up to 7 days | The Skinvive label (one hyaluronic-acid booster) says injection-site reactions generally resolve within 1 week. For polynucleotide boosters no period is given. |
| Rejuran | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No source gives a downtime period. Reported effects are local swelling, discomfort, slight bruising and small raised bumps (wheals). |
| Juvelook | Up to 2 days | One lower-eyelid case series of PDLLA (the polymer in Juvelook) reported mild bruising and swelling resolving within 48 hours. Reviews name firm nodules as the main concern. |
| Exosome skin treatment | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | We found no label or maker statement of a downtime for exosome skin treatments. Ask the doctor. |
| Thermage | Up to 5 days | The maker reports little to no downtime: redness typically resolves within 24 hours and swelling within 5 days, though swelling can remain up to several weeks. |
| Ultherapy | Up to 1 days | The maker reports no downtime and says flushed skin should fade within a few hours; mild, temporary swelling, tingling or tenderness may occur. |
| Shurink | Up to 2 days | The maker reports no downtime and says slight redness and swelling can last from a few hours to a few days; in a 12-person study they resolved within 2 days. |
| Onda lifting | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No source gives a number of days. An advisory-board paper says mild effects usually resolve within a few days and advises avoiding direct sun for two days. |
| Sofwave | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | The maker says downtime is minimal and daily activities can resume immediately, with no number of days. Two studies report mean treatment pain of 5.6 and 6.6 out of 10. |
| Oligio | Up to 2 days | In a 30-patient Thai study, 83% had redness right after treatment that cleared within 1 to 2 days, and patients could resume normal activities immediately. |
| Volnewmer | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No source states a downtime period. In a 22-patient split-face trial, mild redness and swelling were temporary and resolved on their own. |
| Titanium lifting | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No maker, label or journal source we found states a downtime for the lifting protocol; only clinic pages do, and we do not use them. Ask the clinic. |
| Potenza | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No source states a downtime period. The maker lists temporary redness, tingling and burning during treatment; published series report mild, transient side effects. |
| Pico toning | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No number of days is given. A Korean case series of a 755 nm picosecond laser reported minimal downtime and no visible redness after treatment. |
| Laser toning | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No source gives a downtime in days. A review advises sunscreen afterward and says creams can usually resume after 1 to 2 days; mottled pale patches are the main risk. |
| LaVieen | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | LaVieen-specific downtime is not confirmed. Across 17 studies of 1927 nm thulium lasers of any brand, side effects were mild and transient, though melasma sometimes relapsed. |
| Thread lift | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | Swelling, bruising and local pain are expected. In a Chinese series of patients treated for complications, swelling lasted 2 to 4 months in some, and 4 hematoma cases recovered in 10 to 21 days. |
| Double eyelid surgery | 10–14 days | Mayo Clinic: bruising and swelling generally lessen in about 10 to 14 days; scars can take months to fade. ASPS: stitches are removed within one week. |
| Rhinoplasty | 7–28 days | Mayo Clinic: plan about a week off work; most activities resume after a week and all after 2 to 4 weeks. The nose splint stays on about a week. |
| Face lift | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | No source we read gives a return-to-work time. Mayo Clinic says stitches come out about a week after surgery and follow-up visits last about two months. |
| Liposuction | 8–21 days | ASPS puts return to work in weeks 2 to 3 depending on the job (Mayo Clinic: after a few days). A compression garment is worn for a few weeks. |
| Dental implants | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | Done in stages with healing between them, so the whole process can take many months. Gums need at least two weeks to heal after the abutment is placed (Mayo Clinic). |
| Dental crowns | No published figure. Ask the doctor. | Usually two appointments, with a temporary crown between them. The sources we read state no time off or recovery period. |
| Scaling | Up to 2 days | For scaling and root planing, Cleveland Clinic says most people can return to their normal routine the same day and gums may be sore for a couple of days. |
