Cosmetic Treatment Trends in Bridal Makeover

The new age bridal cosmetic treatments stand as an epitome of a contemporary wedding style. Long gone are the days when people used to pull off the no-makeup look in weddings - but the bridal trends have drastically changed over the past few years. Many people have been shifting towards the concept of non-surgical cosmetic treatments before their weddings to enhance their beauty. The most popular treatments that the brides-to-be are in the look out for include dermal fillers, chemical peels, skin tightening and cosmetic laser treatments. These procedures add an extra glow to the skin, making the bride-to-be look gorgeous and radiant. 

Great make up can be a good fix but it requires more than just a regular makeup and skin care routine to flaunt a smooth and flawless skin. We certainly understand the amount of effort that goes into planning a wedding, but we’re also here to remind you about taking care of yourself and show all the love your skin deserves before your big day. 

Types of Bridal Cosmetic Treatments

Let us give you a gist of some of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures that both men and women avail; 

Dermal Fillers 

Dermal fillers are a good option for both men and women who do not want to undergo an invasive surgical procedure, but would prefer to have a youthful glow on their wedding day. The plus point about minimally invasive procedures like dermal fillers is that they help rejuvenate the face and smoothes out fine lines quickly and effectively. 

It is recommended that the brides or grooms who are considering to get injectables or fillers must ideally get them done a couple of weeks before the big day. This is to avoid any swelling or bruising that may resurface a few days before the wedding. Getting these procedures done a couple of weeks before your big day can also allow some room for any touch-ups that are required to be performed without the redness.

Doctors ideally suggest to get the fillers anywhere from three months to two weeks before the big day. The earlier you go, the more time you have to find a certified dermatologist or an  aesthetician who is not only fully qualified, but has an aesthetic you like, because dermal fillers are really a form of art. 

Facial Treatments 

From a basic clean up to advanced professional skin treatments, there are definitely plenty of fishes in the pond that you can choose from. Your facial treatment journey will start with a consultation by the expert who will analyse your skin intricately to find out what your skin really needs. Based on the skin type and concerns your aesthetician will suggest the best suited bridal facials. The ideal final facial must be done one to two days before your wedding ceremony because you must refrain from applying makeup for the next 24-48 hours after the treatment.

Here are some of the most sought-after facial treatments that are done before the bridal makeover;

• De-tanning 
• Skin lightening treatment
• Skin tightening treatment 
• Wrinkle-free skin
• Anti-aging treatment 
• Spot removal procedure
• Laser treatment for hair removal

Bridal Peels 

Bridal Peels are a cosmetic treatment technique that is performed predominantly to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. These peels are an exclusive skin care treatment that gives your skin a luminous glow on the wedding day. A bridal chemical peel is completely a different type when compared to that of a basic regular peel in its  concentration and efficacy. Some of the most common peels include chemical peels, fruit peels and whitening peels.

This is said to be the best bridal makeover treatment that can be applied to the hands, neck and the face. These procedures satisfy the concerns of any damages on the outer layers of the skin, by removing them with the process of peeling, wherein the texture of the skin instantly gets enhanced. If there are any other skin concerns like softening the dark spots and wrinkles, getting rid of blemishes, acne scars, uneven tone, etc., a bridal peel is the best suited option before wedding. While being one among the traditional cosmetic procedures, the bridal peel treatment focuses on providing immediate results and is henceforth the best pre-bridal makeover treatment.

Which cosmetic treatment is the best suited for your skin? 

The answer to this question would differ from person to person and also depend on various factors like skin type, irregularities, medical history, and how your skin reacts to treatments. Your dermatologist takes all of these concerns into consideration before examining the skin, and advises you on the best suited treatment..

To make this even easier, we’ve segregated a timeline that you can take into consideration before your big day. Here’s how to schedule your treatments based on what your skin concerns may be, starting a year from now!

12 months 

Schedule your appointment with a reputable aesthetician. Facilities that are predominantly centred around procedures like cosmetic treatments for dark circles, skin tightening or anti-aging treatments are the most suitable for someone who is looking for a long-term skin care. You will be suggested the perfect skincare treatment plan that will lead up to your wedding day.

During your initial visit, don’t forget to mention what type of results you are clearly expecting by the end of the treatment - a radiant skin? Tighten saggy skin? Soften dark spots and wrinkles? 

It’s best to also mention your plans at the time of your wedding that includes vacation plans. This is to avoid any sudden effects due to extreme heat or cold, sun exposure, and wind chill that can negatively impact the skin when you are receiving any deep chemical peels, laser treatments, IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments and microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), laser.

9 months

9 months to go and you are still going in circles? Worry not. At this stage, you can absolutely undergo treatments that include a time-out, such as:

Chemical peels or bridal peels that are subtle yet effective, where this procedure  activates the skin’s exfoliation process and encourages a better and faster skin cell turnover—which means you’re just a step away from a blemish-free, smooth, and young glowing skin! Another great option for you is microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma - This procedure is not as complicated as it sounds because it works just fine for everyone. It makes use of cellular elements from your own blood in order to promote growth of the cells for an even-toned complexion.

6 months

Have you missed out any treatment from the above? You can still undergo some skin rejuvenating cosmetic treatments like microneedling with PRP, laser treatments, or an IPL. Your initial treatment may need more downtime - say around 6 months for giving an ample amount of time to shock your skin and then receive one to two extra peels before your wedding day. But we suggest that during this time, you should mostly be focusing on treatments that improvise the results you get from dermaplaning or chemical peels, where the skin needs to be regenerating and healing at this stage.

3 months 

We are so close! Getting so close to your big day means that you should be focusing on treatments that you have already received and also refrain from introducing anything new into your perfectly set skin care routine. 

1 month

Your big day is nearing and you probably have a lot on your plate! So we suggest that you reduce the stress of your bridal makeover and instead have a rejuvenating facial that not only awakens the luminous glow but also brings to you a sense of relaxation and calmness . We suggest that you do not try any new professional treatments.

Avoid any intense procedures like extractions or deep peels; hop on to exfoliating treatments and using hydrating facials that nourish and enrich your skin. Approach your medical professional for specific bridal makeover tips on how to prep your skin the week before your wedding.
