Planning a wedding involves countless details, from the venue and dress to food and entertainment. Amidst all the logistics, don’t forget one crucial aspect: your pre-wedding beauty prep. Achieving a smooth, radiant complexion is a top priority for any bride-to-be, and it requires careful planning. Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate your face with injectables or elevate your skincare routine, starting early is key. Here’s our ultimate beauty countdown to ensure you glow with confidence on your big day.
Twelve Months Before: The Foundation
Comprehensive Consultation
Book a consultation with an experienced medical practitioner. Discuss your goals, concerns, and the range of treatments available, from injectables and skin boosters to nutrition and body treatments. Evaluate your current skincare regimen and identify areas for improvement to ensure your complexion is glowing by your wedding day.
Nine Months Before: Body Focus
CoolSculpting and Fat-Dissolving Treatments
Start targeting stubborn pockets of fat with CoolSculpting, focusing on areas like the arms, flanks, abdomen, back, thighs, and chin. Consider fat-dissolving injections for a refined jawline or Sofwave treatments to tighten skin.
Six Months Before: Skin Quality
3. Exercise and Activity
Enhance your skin’s hydration with Profhilo treatments for the face, neck, and décolletage, perfect for a low neckline dress. Combine this with Sofwave for skin tightening, Profound RF for resurfacing, or brightening peels. An active skincare regime will help maintain these improvements and ensure radiance.
Injectable Treatments
If you’re considering lip fillers, non-surgical nose jobs, or chin and jawline contouring, now is the time to start. This allows for a trial period to ensure you’re happy with the results. Remember, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if necessary, although this is a last resort.
Three Months Before: Complexion Boost
HydraFacial Course
Embark on a course of HydraFacials, which combine deep cleansing and exfoliation with lymphatic drainage and skin solutions to boost radiance. This treatment addresses issues like acne, rosacea, and pigmentation, leaving your skin plump and clear, perfect for flawless makeup application.
6-8 Weeks Before: Final Adjustments
Anti-Wrinkle and Filler Refinement
Schedule your last anti-wrinkle treatment to smooth lines around the eyes and forehead or correct a gummy smile. Final tweaks to your fillers will balance and harmonize your facial features. A concluding Profhilo treatment will ensure your skin is in peak condition.
2-7 Days Before: Last-Minute Prep
Final HydraFacial
A last HydraFacial, with added LED light therapy, will hydrate, plump, and refresh your skin. This final treatment ensures a healthy glow and prepares your skin as the perfect canvas for your wedding makeup.
The Day Before: Relax and Hydrate
Final Tips
Avoid trying new skincare products or face masks to prevent unexpected reactions. Drink plenty of water, relax, and ensure a good night’s sleep to feel refreshed and radiant on your big day.
