Gearing up for your big day? Know which treatments are best suited for your skin and which ones will make you look bold and beautiful in your wedding festivities. Pre-wedding skin treatments need to be started at least 3 months before your wedding for best results.
Pre-bridal Treatment Recommendations by Dr. Reema Baxi
Here’s your ready reckoner for pre-bridal treatments:
1. Chemical Peels
Glycolic and salicylic peels can be done to replenish dull and damaged skin. Sequential peel sessions can be started at least 2 months before your wedding. Chemical peels form an inexpensive skin treatment that can give you the radiant look that you have always wanted before your wedding. Back acne and back tanning can always be treated very well with peels. Tanning over forearms and uneven skin tone over arms and forearms can be treated very well with chemical peels, Qs switched laser, and Intense Pulse Light.
2. Laser Toning and Carbon Facial
For people with dark spots or sun-damaged skin, getting carbon facials done can help to a great extent. In this treatment, carbon solution is applied over the face and it is removed with Nd YAG Laser. This absorbs excess oil, and sebum and leads to lightening of dark spots. At least 3 sessions at an interval of 3 weeks are ideal for optimum results. This is also known as laser toning/ laser facial/ carbon peel or carbon facial.
3. Hydrafacials and Medi Facials
Medi facials done just before your wedding can give the perfect glow that you have always wanted. These involve mechanically removing comedones from your face and application of a skin-lightening gel. Skin is then massaged with a special vibrator to improve lymphatic drainage and remove toxins. The procedure is ended with radiofrequency skin tightening which can tighten the pores and give you the perfect contouring. There are various types of Medi facials that can be done according to your requirements. Oxygeneo facial is the most popular medifacial which can enrich oxygenation to the skin. It can help in giving you the perfect pre-wedding glow. You will experience a more youthful look and a lightening of skin complexion.
4. Microdermabrasion
Also popularly known as body polishing, this involves removing superficial dead layers of your skin and helps in mechanically exfoliating your skin. It can be done over your face, neck, arms, and back. Microdermabrasion and dermaplaning can remove the superficial stratum corneum and can give you the radiant look that you have always wanted.
5. Laser Hair Reduction
Rather than going for a full body wax, laser hair reduction offers a safer alternative to conventional waxing. It needs to be started at least 6 months before your wedding. Waxing over the bikini area can damage the skin and can lead to complications like superficial burns. Waxing over the back and arms can lead to post-wax folliculitis. Laser hair reduction is quite safer compared to waxing/shaving. Laser hair reduction requires 6- 8 sessions at monthly intervals. It is a much safer and better option compared to waxing/shaving.
6. Treatments for Acne and Hair Fall
Makeup and skin care products given by your beautician can aggravate acne and, therefore should be thoroughly discussed with your dermatologist. Use mineral-based makeup products to prevent acne. Hair fall can get aggravated if you get hair straightening/ smoothening treatments often. For severe hair fall, consult your dermatologist immediately. You can undergo various treatments like platelet-rich plasma therapy(PRP), Growth Factor Concentrate( GFC), and microneedling over the scalp to stimulate hair growth. Your dermatologist may also prescribe you oral multivitamins and solutions containing Minoxidil, anagain, redensyl, and procapil.
