The best skin of your life doesn’t happen overnight. It happens over time, with the right treatments, in the right order, for your skin!
We love being part of that journey — whether you’re the bride, the mom, or the guest of honor. Wedding skin prep looks different for everyone, depending on your timeline, budget, and goals. Our team of advanced practice providers is here to help you figure out what makes sense for your skin, every step of the way.
The earlier you start, the more we can do. Think of what follows as a guide, not a strict schedule, to help you make the most of every treatment between now and the big day.
9-12 MONTHS OUT:
Start with a plan – and a reset.
This is the most valuable window you have — don’t let it slip by! Now’s the time to establish a treatment plan and build a good at-home skincare routine. Not sure where to begin? Here are three easy ways to get started with us:

Depending on your concerns, a facial or PRX peel is a great way to start — it’s like hitting a ‘reset button’ for the skin. Whether you’re looking for acne-targeting treatments or want to reduce pigment, our aestheticians can guide you on the next steps for your skin. They can also introduce membership savings for your unique treatment plan.
If you’re interested in laser resurfacing, hair or tattoo removal, or body sculpting — which can have longer downtime and may require multiple treatments for best results — now’s the time to start those, too.
Once you’ve got a solid base, it’s time to layer in more targeted treatments.
6-9 MONTHS OUT:
Add injectables and start stacking.
Consider injectables here! You don’t want to do your first treatment right before the wedding — give yourself time to tweak, adjust, and get used to your results.
This is also a great time for a combination treatment like an IPL/BBL photofacial and SkinPen microneedling. Together, these target dark spots, overall texture, and tone, while also tightening and brightening.
Combining or “stacking” treatments accelerates your results and may be more cost-effective with our Laser Membership savings. If your budget only allows for select treatments, choose the concern that bothers you most and start there.
Your skin is building momentum — now we start thinking about the full picture, including areas beyond your face.
3-4 MONTHS OUT:
Filler, biostimulators, and body prep
Time for filler! This gives you plenty of time for swelling to go down, with room to adjust if needed — touch up, add another area, etc. We often use filler to restore lost volume or add structure to the temples, cheeks, lips, jawline, and chin.
Our patients are also loving biostimulatory treatments like Sculptra, Skinvive, and hyperdiluted Radiesse for rejuvenation without adding volume. You can never start too soon with these — the results only get better over time as they boost your natural collagen production.
If needed, now’s a good time to follow up on those initial Botox treatments, too. You could also think about stacking with another laser or a facial treatment.
Also consider your back and chest — two areas commonly exposed in a wedding dress. A VI Peel series or IPL/BBL photofacial can work wonders for both.
You’re in the home stretch. Time to protect your results and lock in that glow.
4-6 WEEKS OUT:
You’re almost there — and your skin shows it
By this point, months of consistent treatments are paying off — and it shows. This is your last window to freshen up with Botox and complete any treatments with downtime, like a final IPL/BBL or microneedling session, before your skin is fully settled and glowing.
You likely have a skincare routine you love and trust by now. Stay the course — the consistency you’ve built is exactly what delivers that lit-from-within result on your wedding day.
One last step — and it’s our favorite one.
1-2 WEEKS OUT:
Your bridal glow moment
Last but certainly not least — a proven, relaxing facial treatment like our Luxe HydraFacial or JetFusion. We’ll infuse a cocktail of good-for-you ingredients onto your skin for the perfect bridal glow. This will refine texture, tighten pores, and hydrate your skin with minimal downtime before your big day. You’ll be radiant!
