Every bride envisions walking down the aisle with a radiant glow, and achieving that flawless complexion often involves a bit of preparation. Before embarking on any pre-wedding skincare regimen, it’s crucial for brides to consult with a licensed skin care professional. This ensures that the chosen treatments align with their skin type and specific concerns. And once you have the right advice, from rejuvenating facials to advanced treatments, here’s a guide to the top skin treatments you can consider before your big day.
Korean Glass Skin Facial
The Korean Glass skin Facial, inspired by the glass skin trend, is a skincare treatment that combines exfoliation, deep hydration, and brightening serums to achieve a luminous and flawless complexion. “Ideal for Indian brides, it addresses dryness, uneven skin tone, and provides a smooth base for makeup. The facial imparts a radiant glow, smoothes skin texture, and offers relaxation through a gentle facial massage. With long-lasting results, it ensures brides showcase a dewy and natural radiance, enhancing their beauty throughout wedding celebrations and beyond,” shares Dr Pooja Chhabra, who is a certified trichologist and cosmetologist.
Victorian Glow Boost
For brides seeking instant results, this treatment is a game-changer. Dr. Preeti Seth, Founder and mentor Pachouli Aesthetics and Wellness recommends this treatment, and adds, “ This procedure is an exquisite blend of nine transformative steps meticulously crafted for the brides-to-be. It begins with a Hydra-Dermabrasion and Diamond Abrasion fusion, gently exfoliating the skin. The subsequent infusion of Oxygen using OxyGeneo Gen X technology revitalises the skin from within, followed by electroporation and deeper Radio Frequency inducing collagen synthesis and fostering skin elasticity. For the final step, we offer a hydration extravaganza with skin boosters and ultrasonic mesotherapy, which ensures a luminous, velvety-smooth skin.
NY Facial 4D
To cater to the modern bride’s need for Instagram-worthy, photo-ready, and makeup-friendly smooth and radiant skin, Dr Kiran Sethi, founder Isya Aesthetics, recommends this facial. “The treatment includes customised exfoliation, de-tanning benefits, and a personalised mask, followed by the extraordinary 4D laser treatment (CL4D) to address specific skin concerns painlessly and without downtime,” she says, adding, “The final step involves an LED light treatment to boost collagen production, making the New York Facial a three-step solution to various skin issues. Each treatment lasts approximately 2 hours, providing immediate and continuously improving results over the week.” The benefits extend beyond the wedding day, with the effects lasting for months, ensuring your skin remains smooth, glowing, and healthy for post-wedding events and the honeymoon.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels play a crucial role in pre-wedding skincare by addressing concerns such as uneven skin tone, acne scars, and fine lines. Dr Seth agrees and adds, “These peels exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion. Brides can opt for chemical peels to achieve a fresh canvas for makeup application and to enhance the skin’s texture, resulting in a radiant and polished appearance on their special day. However, they should consider scheduling a peel well in advance to allow for any potential redness or peeling to subside.”
Microneedling
For brides with concerns about pigmentation, acne scars, or fine lines, microneedling can deliver remarkable results. Dr Jamuna Pai, Founder, SkinLab, shares, “Wedding shenanigans can mentally and physically exhaust the bride. This also makes the skin look very dull and tired. Procedures like microneedling along with infusion of vitamin C and/or GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) can make the skin feel more youthful and fresh. GFC utilises the individual’s own plasma and helps to revitalise the skin cells. Being busy coordinating for wedding arrangements may make one forget about having enough water. Dehydrated skin is yet another cause of dullness and tiredness on the skin. Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid gel are great skin boosters. They reinstate the plumpness and youth of the skin – bringing about added radiance.”
