Pre-Wedding Beauty Plan.

Pre-Wedding Beauty Plan.

Wedding celebrations are back in a big way in 2022, after two long years of cancellations and restrictions because of the Covid's 19 pandemic. Booking your cosmetic appointment to get your skin health needs taken care of is one of the most important aspect of preparing for your big day theses days.

So, to help simplify the journey to achieve your skin goals, here is a nice plan on which treatments, procedures, and products to consider–and when.

18-12 months before the wedding:

3 things have to start this early or even earlier

1) Laser hair reduction. It's just one less thing to worry about while honey mooning.

2) Smile enhancement, (makeover)

Consult a certified cosmetic dentist to take through all the options available: veneers, crowns, Invisalign, teeth whitening and dental implants,

Plan this as early as possible (if you have over 12 months, even better), but if your tooth misalignment is mild to moderate in severity, then 12 months should be enough time to perfect your smile

3) Treating skin condition such as acne, melasma, dermatitis and rosacea.

If you have serious skincare concerns or troublesome skin, now's a good time to speak to us. We will advise you on your pre-wedding beauty regime, laser treatments, as well as oral medication. Sometime acne treatments can aggravate the skin before clearing acne, and might need to be taken for 6-12 months.

You can address any concerns about acne scarring once acne is treated.

9 months before the wedding:

Antiwrinkle and Beautification treatment are getting more and more popular these days.

Ranging from lip, chin, cheek and jawline enhancements, eyebrow lift with antiwrinkle injection and some fine lines treatment to prevent the make up from sitting in them

these treatments can help you look more contoured and balanced or to prevent volume loss in the face that comes with years.

As long as they are within the natural proportions and not overly done, it can really give you that picture perfect look on your wedding day.

Having them gradually done as early as 9 months before the wedding would give you enough time to ensure you are happy with the subtle changes to your appearance. Add more, if needed, thought out the months ahead of the wedding.

6 months before the wedding:

Try Out Laser Treatments

If your primary concern is eradicating sun spots or hyperpigmentation before your wedding, speak with us about the possibility of laser treatments.

Laser treatments work by sending pulses of highly concentrated light to the affected area—they penetrate the skin and heat and destroy the hyperpigmentation. This results in the hyperpigmentation spot turning into a scab, flaking off, and revealing brighter and more even-toned skin underneath.

Because of this, we recommends coming in for a laser consultation about four to six months before your wedding. This gives you enough time to assess how your skin reacts to the treatments—and gauge how long the downtime will be for your particular skin type—while also having the flexibility to tweak the treatments as needed.

This is also the time where I would introduce a high-strength retinol into your skincare routine, twice a week. It will give you long enough time to see the product take effect, and for your skin to respond.

We can advise you of skin peels, facials, skincare products to leave the skin tighter, clearer, plumper and more glowing in appearance. Topical vitamin C can brighten the skin and even out skin tone. It’s good to start early enough with this. That way, if you don't respond well to anything, you have enough time to make changes before the day itself.

 4 months before the wedding:

This is a good time to have the first session of three skin boosters treatments. The one we offer is a unique anti-aging, poly-revitalizing complex (HA, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and antioxidants) that nourishes the epidermis by providing the ingredients that it needs to thrive. It creates the optimal environment for fibroblasts, which handle the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. We injected this solution into the very top layer of your skin (epidermis). This treatment has no downtime, and it’s done once every 4 weeks.

You can also choose to mix this solution with some of your own PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). Platelets release growth factors that assist the human body in repairing itself by stimulating cells to regenerate new tissue.

We can easily separate the platelet rich plasma from the blood through a process of centrifugation. Using your concentrated plasma allows the body to heal faster and more efficiently.

2 months before the wedding:

The last thing you would want is a big bruise on your wedding day. If you would need any tweaksments as injectable treatments, this would be the best time.

Treatment this far out allows plenty of time for your skin to settle in the unlikely event that your skin has a mild reaction to treatment.

Your dentist will offer you an in-chair whitening treatment.

7 days before the wedding:

Ditch Acids and Focus on Hydration

In order to avoid any skin irritation on the day of your wedding, some dermatologists and aestheticians may recommend that you stop using exfoliators or retinoids about a week prior to your wedding.

2-3 secessions of LED light therapy in the last week before the wedding is a good idea followed by our fantastic HA hydrating mask.

48 hours before the wedding:

This would be your last session of LED followed by a good HA mask before the wedding.

24 hours before the wedding:

GIVE YOUR SKIN A REST, avoid the temptation to use any new skincare products on your skin, just in case you’re sensitive to them.

Lots of experts also recommend you drink two litres of water the day before your wedding, just to help flush out any toxins in your skin and ensure it's looking as glowy and full as possible on the morning of your wedding.

Relaxation and meditation helps by increasing the oxygen, which rejuvenates the skin, balancing your body and mind while transforming your body’s cells and tissues.

The day of the wedding:

It is the time to have fun, leave all the worry behind you and pretend you are going to someone else’s wedding, you want to enjoy it more than anyone else. It is you big day and you want to remember how much fun it was, nobody knows about all the little details that was planned before (flower arrangements, centre pieces, lighting and so forth), it does not matter if they don’t go to plan.

Enjoy that cooling HA mask for 15 minutes before the make-up session starts and don't forget to drink your water to add to the glow from within.

FAQ

How does muscle relaxing toxin injection work?

It works by relaxing facial muscles, thereby temporarily reducing and smoothing dynamic frown lines and wrinkles, i.e. those lines caused by movement of the muscles.

Who should not take botulinum toxin?

  • Had an allergic reaction to any of the botulinum toxin products or their ingredients.
  • Have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
  • A disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease], myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome).
  • Had any side effect from the product product in the past.
  • A breathing problem, such as asthma or emphysema.
  • Swallowing problems.
  • Bleeding problems.
  • Plans to have surgery.
  • Had surgery on your face.
  • Weakness of your forehead muscles, such as trouble raising your eyebrows.
  • Drooping eyelids.
  • Any other change in the way your face normally looks.
  • Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
  • Are breast-feeding or plan to breastfeed.

Do treatment results differ?

Yes, individual results may vary. To get the best results, it's important to go to a doctor who is experienced in administering these injections.

What conditions can be treated effectively with laser therapy?

  • Vascular lesions

Well-defined lesions (abnormalities of the tissue, in this case the skin) that contain blood are usually amenable to laser therapy. These include unwanted blood vessels (‘broken capillaries’) on the face, and birth marks such as port wine stains. Depending on the size of the lesion, the number of laser treatments that are needed can range from 2 to 10 or more.

Laser therapy is also sometimes used for small varicose veins and spider veins.

  • Pigmented lesions

Pigmented lesions that can be treated include: freckles; solar lentigos (liver, or age, spots); flat, pigmented seborrhoeic keratoses (age warts); and café au lait spots (light-tan spots). Laser treatments for pigmented lesions are generally spaced 6 or more weeks apart, to allow your body to get rid of the dispersed pigment.

  • Tattoos/Not currently available

The principle of laser tattoo removal is basically the same as that of the removal of pigmented lesions, but the wavelength of the light beam needs to vary depending on the different ink pigments used in the tattoo. In general, homemade Indian ink tattoos and black tattoos respond most readily to laser removal. White tattoos do not usually respond to treatment. Red is relatively easy to remove, while yellow, orange and green are more difficult.

Skin that has been stained from nasal piercing or from iron injections also usually responds well to laser treatment.

  • Hair removal

Laser-assisted hair removal is both efficient and long term. It works best on thicker, darker hairs, as these hair follicles absorb more light than do smaller, paler hair follicles. Most people find that the amount of hair is reduced by 70 per cent or more after the course of treatment. Laser hair removal also avoids the possibility of ingrown hairs. Sweating changes are sometimes noticed in the treated area.

  • Signs of ageing

Laser resurfacing is used to help reverse the signs of ageing caused by sun damage. Signs of ageing include fine wrinkles and crinkly skin. Resurfacing is also useful in reducing the appearance of acne scars. Following treatment, your skin often takes several weeks to recover.

Laser resurfacing is a safer and more refined procedure than it used to be, but it is still not recommended for people with olive or pigmented skin because of the possibility of uneven skin tone or loss of colour from the skin after treatment.

  • Scars

Whether scars of previous surgery, acne or post burn scar, can all be minimised by laser resurfacing, CO2 fractionated laser is in particular useful for these conditions.

Who can be a good candidate for PDO Lift?

PDO procedures are safe for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity, who keep up with healthy lifestyles and have maintained their weight for at least three months.

Who can be a good candidate for Double chin Treatment ?

The best candidate is an adult 18 years or older with moderate to severe fat beneath the chin. You might not be a good candidate if you have had or are planning to have facial surgery, if you have trouble swallowing, are pregnant or nursing, or have an infection or medical condition in or near the planned injection site.
