PRE-WEDDING SKINCARE FAQS
When should I start my pre-wedding skincare routine?
It’s best to start your wedding skincare routine at least six to nine months before your wedding day. This will give you enough time to speak to a professional and try out different products and treatments to let your skin settle. It will also give you time to address any skin concerns and make any necessary adjustments to your skincare routine.
Do I need a new pre-wedding skincare routine?
Ultimately, you shouldn’t carry out anything prior to your wedding that isn’t sustainable. This is the case for diets, as well as, pre-wedding skincare treatments.
Most couples don’t drastically change their skincare routine, and really shouldn’t, but it’s a nice time to invest in any treatments which will complement your existing routine and bring out that inner glow.
What skincare products should I definitely use?
The bottom line is that there is no one-solution-fits-all for skincare. You could have the same skin type as your sibling, with the same genetics, and products will still react very differently. You should always speak to a professional and go through a formal consultation to answer that question.
One that we always recommend is SPF. Regardless of the weather, you want to lather on a healthy amount of SPF every morning to protect the layers of your skin.
Is there a way to prevent breakouts before my wedding?
Preventing breakouts is a combination of internal & external skincare. To prevent breakouts, it’s essential to keep your skin clean and hydrated. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt and oil from your skin, and make sure to moisturise daily. Avoid touching your face, as this can transfer dirt and bacteria to your skin, leading to breakouts. Taking part in certain treatments will help you achieve smoother skin and that inner glow. Keep reading for some of the recommended treatments.
SKIN PEELS
What is it?
Often known as chemical peels, skin peels are designed to improve the texture of the skin. They involve the application of naturally occurring acids and active ingredients to the skin, which causes the top layer of the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin beneath – they can be extremely re-energising!
This is an extremely common treatment for brides & grooms prior to their big day. There are different types of peels which can be deemed more surface-level or more intrusive and ultimately need to be customised to suit each client's needs & skin style.
How long does it take?
The treatment takes around 30 minutes.
How long is the skin recovery time?*
The skin may be red, swollen, and sensitive in some cases, however, it is usually immediate. *results may vary

MICRONEEDLING
What is it?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. This process encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, which can improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.
The procedure is commonly used to treat a range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. It can also improve the overall appearance and health of the skin.
How long does it take?
1 hour 15 minutes (including 45 minutes for topical anaesthetic)
How long is the skin recovery time?*
Skin recovery time can be up to 48 hours. *results may vary
How long does it last?*

MESOTHERAPY
What is it?
During a mesotherapy procedure, a qualified skincare professional will use a fine needle to inject a customised mixture of nutrients into the skin. The ‘skin cocktail’ which is injected contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients, which are tailored to each patient’s individual needs and concerns, and the ingredients can vary depending on the desired outcome.
Mesotherapy can be used to address a range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
How long does it take?
30 minutes.
How long is the skin recovery time?*
Skin recovery time can be up to 24 hours. *results may vary

PROFHILO
What is it?
Profhilo is a type of injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid to improve the appearance of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. Profhilo is different from traditional dermal fillers as it does not add volume to the skin. Instead, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin.
How long does it take?
Initially, two treatments are needed spaced four weeks apart. Treatment can then be repeated every six months. Each procedure is 30 minutes long.
What is the skin recovery time?*
Skin recovery time can be up to 24 to 48 hours. *results may vary
How long does it last?*
It can last up to 6 months. * results may vary
What are the risks?*
The most common risks can be redness, skin irritation, pain, swelling, and allergic reactions in some cases, depending on the client & if not carried out by a trained professional.
