If you have a wedding in your near future, you know that looking your absolute best is crucial for your big day. Though slimming down to fit into that perfect gown is important, you know that most guests (and most importantly your spouse-to-be) will focus on your glowing face. Many brides in the Burbank and Westlake areas make the decision to have one or several facial cosmetic procedures before their wedding so they can look and feel amazing when the times comes to walk down the aisle. If you will be a bride in 2019, here are some facial procedures that you should consider and a guideline for when you should ideally book them before your wedding day.
Skincare: Four Months Before
Adopting a quality skincare routine can help you reveal your best skin before the big day. However, this will take some time to work. When you consult with Dr. Hershcovitch, he will recommend the best products on the market to help you deal with issues such as enlarged pores, dryness, fine lines, or dull skin appearance. Start these as soon as possible before your wedding day, though most women will see an improvement within four months if they stick to their new regimen on a daily basis.
Laser Resurfacing or Chemical Peels: Three to Four Months Before
Are you dealing with hyperpigmentation issues or do you have scarring or dull skin that you want to address before your nuptials? Laser resurfacing and chemical peels are both intensive treatments that can have amazing results. However, they also have some downtime associated. To walking down the aisle with a peeling, red face, schedule these treatments three to four months prior to your big day. Just remember that you’ll need to be vigilant about sunscreen as these treatments can often make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Fillers and Botox Injections: Three Weeks Before
Want to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and restore volume and youthful plumpness to your face before you say ‘I Do’? Then you should consider scheduling Botox or dermal filler injections about three weeks before your wedding. Botox can be injected into areas of your face where you commonly develop expression lines such as around your eyes, nose or mouth to smooth out your skin. Dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse can fill in areas of hollowness or lines, and they can also be used to plump lips. Looking refreshed and rejuvenated is important for brides, and a combination of the two types of injectables can be a winning solution. Make sure to get these a few weeks before your actual wedding day so that any minor redness or irritation has a chance to subside.
Don’t Forget the Mother of the Bride:
If you are the mother of the bride and have significant signs of aging on your face and neck such as sagging, hollowness, and loose skin, you may want to have a facelift before the big day. Because a facelift is a surgical procedure that involves some downtime, recovery, and scar healing, Dr. Hershcovitch recommends his patients schedule it at least four months prior to the event. This will give you time to properly heal and for your scars to fade. Dr. Hershcovitch is an expert in performing facelifts and prides himself on leaving only minimal scars after each surgery. Your scars should easily be hidden with your hair, but a few months of healing time will ensure they have faded as much as possible.
