Pre-wedding skincare: treatments that can help your skin look its best
With so many different things to manage in the build-up to your wedding day it can be easy to overlook yourself. Outfits will have been sorted along with hair and makeup, and some of us will set goals for ourselves with our physical appearance. Skincare, however, can be something that is forgotten about and only considered if a surprising spot pops up on your cheek the week before the big day.
Making your skincare a priority in the weeks and months before your wedding can really help, not only on your big day but also by establishing good habits which you can carry forward for many years. While there are many different skincare treatments available, and we will highlight a few below, making sure you do the right things for your skin on a daily basis with how you treat and look after your body will help keep your skin in good condition for years to come. But what treatments can you look at in the run-up to your wedding, that can maybe give you an extra confidence boost and help your skin look its best? Want That Wedding partnered with Aesthetics Lab, an award-winning and highly respected clinic in London to find out.
Osmosis Facial with RevitaPen
Some treatments are more well-known than others, so you’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard about this one yet. The Osmosis Facial with RevitaPen is well suited for those preparing for their wedding. The treatment delivers active ingredients that will benefit your skin, and depending on your needs these ingredients can be changed and tailored to you.
The treatment itself works by using the RevitaPen, which contains single-use surgical-grade anti-bacterial stainless-steel tips with 100 nano-sized circular-shaped pyramids to create channels in your skin to deliver the active ingredients. Thanks to this, your skin can absorb the active ingredients much more effectively, and while this is happening all you feel is a gentle vibration on your skin.
This is one of the most accessible skin treatments available today as it is suitable for all skin types and colours and can even be enjoyed by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding along with oncology patients!
Clear + Brilliant
This treatment uses fractional laser technology to help combat signs of ageing along with other issues people may be having with their skin. This includes the appearance of pores and fine lines, while also helping improve the tone and texture of your skin.
Another benefit to this, and the other treatments mentioned above and below is that they are non-invasive. This means they require very little recovery time and allows you to get on with your day, which as we all know when planning a wedding is often very busy.
Clear + Brilliant uses fractional laser technology to create millions of microscopic treatment zones in your skin. This allows the damaged skin to be naturally replaced with healthy and younger-looking skin.
Microneedling
A treatment that is probably much more well known to many of you is microneedling. Unlike the two treatments above, microneedling has been a really popular and well-known treatment for many years thanks to the results it provides and high-profile endorsements from celebrities.
If you’re not familiar with how microneedling works, the treatment uses (as the name suggests) micro needles to create micro punctures in the skin in specific areas that a client wishes to target. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response along with encouraging collagen production which is vital for healthy and youthful looking skin.
All of this helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage or even scars. We can all be self-conscious about issues such as this, and on a day like our wedding day, it can be magnified with all the eyes on you. For women who may want to wear a dress that is cut in a specific way, such as a low cut back, but are worried about a scar on their back, this could be a solution that really helps reduce the visibility of the scar.
Whenever considering a skincare treatment it’s important to discuss the options with a professional. The experience of providing these treatments every day and understanding exactly what goes into it can only be found with professionals. Some clinics, including Aesthetics Lab, will organise a complimentary consultation before any treatment to ensure it is the right option for you and your health.
Hopefully, the information above has helped give you a better understanding of some skincare treatments to look out for in 2022 and that could really help you feel your best on your wedding day.
