Once a bride has selected the date, here begins the endless list of things to do. A task that is often overlooked is her beauty preparation. While some brides may consider more drastic surgical procedures to reach their aesthetic ideal, at Cosmetic Ink, we provide a timeline of non-invasive cosmetic procedures a bride may consider and when they should be scheduled so she shines on her wedding day.
BOTOX
Botox is the most popular non-invasive treatment brides often consider in the lead up to their big day. If you are being treated for the first time, it is advisable to have your first treatment six months before your wedding day. This allows your doctor to assess the results. Then at three months you may have a top-up. Your final treatment should be administered no later than two weeks before the big day. This allows time for bruising and swelling to subside. Remember Botox should reduce lines and wrinkles while still allowing you to keep facial expressions in your gorgeous photos.
MICROBLADING
Microblading is a manual semi permanent eyebrow tattoo that mimics the natural hair strokes of eyebrows. Eyebrows frame the eyes so having the perfect arch can really make a bride sparkle on their wedding day. The process takes about 2 hours to complete both brows, and it is recommended your initial treatment is followed up by a touch-up treatment 4-8 weeks after your first procedure. Vivian from Cosmetic Ink Sydney suggests brides give themselves three months before their wedding day to have microblading done. An added bonus of microblading is your beautiful brows will allow you to enjoy your sun-bathed honeymoon with brows that want wash off and last far beyond the honeymoon phase.
FILLERS
Fillers are another popular option for brides who are seeking to enhance facial contouring and youthful features. Whether it be filling the cheeks, lips or hallows under the eyes, dermal fillers can help brides look their absolute best on their wedding day. Procedures should be scheduled two months prior to your wedding day and results last between six months and two years depending on the type of filler.
SWEAT REDUCTION
Stay sweat free on you wedding day with injections that ensure that you are feeling fresh and
odour free on what can be a stressful day. While silk is a beautiful fabric for wedding gowns it is also the enemy of sweat. Botox is injected into the skin to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating. It is advisable that injections should be administered six to eight weeks prior to your wedding day.
As the star of the show, it’s important that you make it a priority to get yourself ready for that spotlight as a beautiful bride. It is essential you consult with professionals when considering these types of procedures to ensure optimum results are achieved. Organisation is key to a successful beauty timeline that leaves you feeling beautiful on the day you marry your soulmate.
