The Ultimate Guide to Your Best Skin on Wedding Day
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable occasions of your life, and naturally, you want to look and feel your absolute best. Achieving radiant and flawless skin is a vital part of this process! With the right skincare routine and timeline, you can ensure that your skin is glowing and picture-perfect on your big day. This ultimate guide we put together with Engaged Vendor, Village Dermatology, will walk you through a comprehensive timeline, providing tips and tricks to help you achieve your dream skin for your wedding!
7 Months+ Prior to Wedding Day
The journey to beautiful wedding-day skin begins well in advance. One year to seven months before your wedding, it's time to establish a solid skincare routine. Step one is easy! Start by booking an appointment at Village Dermatology for an initial facial and consultation to identify your skin type and discuss specific concerns, such as acne, hyper-pigmentation, or sensitivity.
6 Months Prior to Wedding Day
As your wedding date approaches, it's time to focus on addressing any specific skin concerns you may have. We recommend starting at least 6 months in advance to allow your skin to see the full benefits of a strong skincare regimen. Ideally, we would start with the following: BBL, Moxi, or SKINPEN and start a personalized skincare regimen (recommending products and schedule facials).
BBL (BroadBand Light): Your skin is exposed to all types of environmental and aging factors. This exposure can cause our skin to manifest different qualities that make us look older than we are, or at the very least feel. Age spots, wrinkles, and poor skin tone/texture are a result of this exposure. Thankfully, we have modalities like the BBL that can help us treat all the signs of aging mentioned above with little to no downtime. Village Dermatology uses Sciton’s BBL. The device is unparalleled by its counterparts in advanced technology, quality, safety, and consistency. Their highly skilled, trained and experienced laser technicians will tune the BBL to the correct setting and use the band of light energy to target different skin conditions. The heat generated from the light pulses will stimulate your skin cells to generate new collagen to replace the old skin cells in the treated area.
Moxi: Moxi Laser Skin Rejuvenation is at the forefront of innovative, non-invasive skincare treatments. This state-of-the-art procedure is meticulously designed for individuals aspiring to revitalize their skin’s texture and appearance without the extensive downtime associated with more aggressive treatments. Moxi addresses a variety of skin concerns, making it an ideal choice for those who wish to combat the early signs of aging, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Whether you are in your 20s looking for pre-juvenation, taking a proactive approach to skincare, or in your 40s and beyond seeking to restore your skin’s youthful vitality, Moxi is your gateway to a rejuvenated, radiant complexion.
SKINPEN: Microneedling is all about stimulating collagen production by using the body’s natural healing process in response to tissue injury. Our ability to produce new collagen decreases over time, and microneedling can help. Microneedling “bridges the gap” between microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing and is celebrated for its versatility in addressing a wide array of skin concerns.
5 Months Prior to Wedding Day
5 months out from wedding day, Village Dermatology recommends a DiamondGlow facial and Tox (Wrinkle-reducing filler). If you’ve never had Tox, this is a good amount of time to experience it, then tweak for next time!
DiamondGlow: Some skin treatments exfoliate, others clear debris from your pores, and yet others hydrate your skin. DiamondGlow does all three! This is a transformative non-invasive skin treatment that is performed using a patented instrument with a diamond tip (hence the name). The DiamondGlow device is essentially a dermabrasion instrument that gently removes the damaged upper layer of skin to reveal fresher, radiant, more youthful skin underneath. The treatment is combined with the infusion of advanced skincare serums from SkinMedica to replenish your skin with nutrients and hydration.
Tox: Village Dermatology uses Jeuveau, Botox, and Dysport. Injectable Fillers (also referred to as Dermal Fillers) is a term used to describe a broad use of products designed to increase volume, minimize folds, and enhance facial features with no surgery. Injectable fillers continue to increase in popularity as more products enter the market and as more patients understand how these amazing products can help complete their medical aesthetic goals. Obviously, selecting the right provider to perform your procedure is paramount in obtaining a natural, more youthful, improvement with fillers. Village Dermatology ranks in the Top 1% of practices across the country in volume. That means that Village Dermatology does more injectables than 99% of practices in the United States!
4 Months Prior to Wedding Day
As you get closer to wedding day, our next step would be BBL (Broadband Light), or SKINPEN (Microneedling), depending on your specific concerns. BBL is great to targets pigmented spots, vascular lesions, acne, age spots, and other skin conditions, making BBL a “best all around” in our armamentarium of anti-aging procedures! By addressing various aspects, microneedling (SKINPEN) stands out as a multi-faceted treatment capable of transforming the skin promoting a healthier, more youthful appearance. Whether it’s fighting the signs of aging, smoothing out skin texture, or correcting pigmentation issues, microneedling offers a safe, effective solution. With either route you choose, rest assured Village Dermatology will have your skin looking great!
3 Months Prior to Wedding Day
With your wedding just a few months away, it's time to fine-tune your skincare routine. Focus on maintaining the progress you've made while introducing any final tweaks. This month we recommend another DiamondGlow facial and Illuminize peel to kickstart the final stretch!
2 Months Prior to Wedding Day
Only 2 months to go! This is the perfect time for your last BBL, SKINPEN, and tox/filler appointment at Village Dermatology.
1 Months Prior to Wedding Day
As the big day approaches, it's crucial to avoid making any drastic changes to your skincare routine. Stick to the products and treatments that have been working for you, and resist the temptation to try new products that could potentially irritate your skin. If you've been consistent with your routine, you should already be seeing positive results. Focus on maintaining your skin's health and radiance by getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels. Consider booking a facial treatment, such as a DiamondGlow facial, to give your skin an extra boost, as well as any final tox-filler touchups.
1-2 Weeks Prior to Wedding Day
With just two weeks to go, it's the final countdown. Continue following your established skincare routine, and pay extra attention to hydration. Drink plenty of water, avoid excessive sun exposure, and be diligent with your sunscreen application. Lastly, we recommend a DiamondGlow HA5 serum facial at Village Dermatology as your final treatment prior to wedding day!
Get Married!!
In the week leading up to your wedding, focus on simplicity and stress-free skincare. Stick to the basics: cleanse, moisturize, and protect. Avoid trying any new products or treatments that could cause unexpected reactions. Prioritize relaxation and rest, as stress can negatively impact your skin's appearance. Be confident that you have taken all the right steps to look and feel your best on the big day. Finally, go get married!!
