Quick Answer
Photoshoot skin prep at Banyan & Bamboo in South Austin (3005 S Lamar Blvd, 78704) is a dated plan that works backward from your session: an AI 3D Skin Analysis ($75) as early as possible, Dysport or Botox two to three weeks out, filler four weeks out, a light peel ten days out, and a DiamondGlow facial with facial lymphatic massage two to four days out. Answer three questions below and the plan builds itself, with pregnancy-safe and under-18 versions.
Build Your Timeline
Photographers tell us clients book anywhere from six months to one month out. Three questions, and the plan works backward from your session. Anything without enough runway is set aside rather than rushed.
Built for the Way You Are Being Photographed
The session
Close crops, studio light, and a forehead that does most of the talking.
The plan
Dysport at the two-week mark, then a DiamondGlow with dermaplane and facial lymphatic massage two to four days out so eyes read rested.
Runway: 2 weeks or more. Under 2 weeks, we skip tox and lean on the facial.
The session
More than one face in the frame, and you are the one who planned it.
The plan
Your plan plus a Modern Man Facial for your partner and a Rapid Results facial for teens, all landing the same week.
Runway: 2 weeks or more for everyone in the frame.
The session
Rested, even skin with nothing on the plan you have to ask your OB about.
The plan
A pregnancy-safe Banyan Signature Facial with facial lymphatic massage and dermaplane. No injectables, peels, or microneedling.
Runway: 1 week is enough.
The session
Breakouts the week of graduation photos, and a teen who does not want a routine.
The plan
An Acne Protocol Facial with Celluma LED as a short series, a light peel if there is time, and a Rapid Results facial in the final days. No injectables under 18.
Runway: 6 weeks for a series, 1 week for a single visit.
The Part Retouching Cannot Fix
Why Timing Beats Product
Dysport and Botox take about three days to start working and fourteen to reach full effect, so a shoot booked two weeks after the appointment lands at the peak. Filler swells for up to two weeks and looks its most natural at four, with time left for a refinement visit. Those two facts alone decide the middle of the calendar.
Peels and microneedling work by controlled injury, which means flaking or pinkness for a few days and improvement that builds for weeks. They belong early. Exfoliating facials like DiamondGlow do the opposite: skin is at its smoothest two to four days later, so they belong last.
The final facial also handles fluid. The facial lymphatic massage built into it moves puffiness out of the face and jawline, which is why it sits two to four days out rather than a week. On camera day, nothing new touches your skin.

How It Works
Step 1
Answer three questions above. The builder returns a phased plan with windows for each treatment, sets aside anything without enough runway, and lets you text the plan to us.
Step 2
The AI 3D Skin Analysis maps tone, texture, pores, and hydration. We confirm the order, answer the OB or under-18 questions, and book every visit in one sitting.
Step 3
Tox settles by day 14, the peel has finished flaking, and the final facial leaves skin at its smoothest. Nothing is healing when the lights come on.
For Photographers
You control the light, the location, and the direction. Skin is the one variable your client has to start weeks ahead, and it is the one retouching handles worst. This page gives them a dated plan in thirty seconds, for any kind of session you shoot, and gives you fewer "can you fix this?" conversations at the edit.
Finance this treatment with PatientFi. No hard credit check, instant decision.
