Laser Hair Removal
We know that for most brides, smooth and hair-free skin is often the key to exuding confidence and grace on the wedding day. Shaving and waxing, while quick and convenient, often results in regrowth within a day or two, leaving brides to deal with the hassle of frequent maintenance. This is where laser hair removal comes in handy.
It is a simple cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles. This procedure is particularly known for its precision, as it removes hairs without damaging the surrounding skin. Brides can choose to treat various areas, including their face, legs, and underarms, depending on their individual preferences and needs. Laser hair removal involves multiple sessions to ensure that there is no hair in the treated area.
When to start this treatment: At least 6 months before the wedding day
Glutathione Injection
Glutathione injection is a popular skin treatment to achieve brighter and more even-toned skin. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally produced in the body. It plays a key role in detoxification of our body. So, an additional dosage of this wonder element is naturally expected to generate a significant positive impact on our bodies. You are right. It helps in brightening and lightening your skin as it inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. End result is a lot more luminous complexion that you can flaunt in front of your wedding guests.
The reason why this is one of the best skincare treatments for brides is that it enhances the results of skin-bleaching and anti-aging products by allowing it to penetrate better. You will need to get a shot one to two times a week in the initial phase. After a few weeks, the dosage will be reduced to one. Most people can see the results in six to eight weeks.
When to start the treatment: At least 2 months before the wedding day
Medifacials
Many brides-to-be consider regular facials at salons as their go-to solution for achieving flawless skin before their wedding day. However, the reality is that standard facials, while enjoyable, often provide only temporary and surface-level results. This is where medifacials stands out as a game-changer in the world of bridal beauty. These medical-grade facials go beyond the surface, working on a deeper layer of the skin to cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish effectively.
In this procedure, a gentle cleansing of your skin with non-irritating cleaners is followed by the removal of dead skin cells using a specialized machine. At the same time, we will hydrate your skin with the help of elements like Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid. Then, we will massage your skin, apply a chemical peel, and use oxy-jet to enhance the effectiveness of this treatment. Lastly, we will clean the face and apply a face mask.
When to start the treatment: 1.5 – 2 months before the wedding day
Microdermabrasion
This non-invasive skin procedure is another popular choice among brides-to-be. In this, we will first rub or spray fine crystals onto the surface of your skin with a hand-held device. This is then followed by the usage of vacuum pressure to suck out the dead skin cells. This will gently remove all the dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, much like how you would brush off debris from your teeth.
Microdermabrasion is primarily done on the face but can be performed on any part of the body. Like most other skincare treatments, microdermabrasion needs to be undertaken in fixed intervals. So, it will need multiple sittings to generate long-term effects.
When to start the treatment: At least a month before the wedding day
Vampire Facial
Popularized by celebrities and A-listers in the film industry, this treatment can be your go-to choice for a refreshed and invigorated complexion. After all, you are the star of your own wedding, and there is nothing wrong with following the footsteps of other popular figures.
In this, a small amount of blood is extracted from your arm. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate into key components, viz. plasma and platelets. After this, we will use 0.5 to 2.5 mm needles to mildly puncture the upper layer of your skin. The goal is to cause minor injury to the skin cells, which triggers regeneration through collagen and elastin production. Finally, the platelet-rich plasma is applied to the skin to boost the speed of healing.
When to start the treatment: At least 2 months before the wedding day.
