Tips to look your best on your wedding day.

Now that Brotox is a thing, brides and grooms are spiffing up before they head to the alter. For such an important and memorable occasion, taking the time to work on your skin and ease a wrinkle or two is well worth the effort. It can be challenging to know where to start, so we’ve put together our top tips for Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge and Southern Ontario brides and grooms to prepare for their big day here.

Tip 1 Consult the experts.

A visit to The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic will provide you with access to our team of facial rejuvenation experts and skincare specialists. We will work with you to develop a plan that suits your individual needs and meets your aesthetic goals. Since our clinic provides plastic surgery and non-invasive cosmetic treatments, we’re well equipped to address a wide range of concerns from head to toe.

Tip 2 Start early.

You’ll want to begin working on your skin at least three to six months before your wedding day, as this will give you ample time to realize your goals. Leaving a laser, botox or filler treatment to the last minute just isn’t feasible, as each of these treatments requires a minimum of two weeks for optimal outcomes to be achieved.

Treatments to consider:

• BOTOX Cosmetic® and filler – The Beauty Nurse will work with your features to smooth away wrinkles and add volume where necessary to achieve a rested, rejuvenated and harmonious result.
• Stay dry – With everything brides and grooms have to think of, they’ll have one less thing to worry about with a hydperhidrosis treatment to eliminate underarm, palm and forehead sweat. Our team can keep you dry with a few quick BOTOX injections.
• Laser and light therapy – Most anyone can benefit from the rejuvenating power of a laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment. Whether you’re looking to even out your skin tone, reduce redness, or smooth acne scars, in Nurse Natalie’s hands, your skin will be transformed. A series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is usually required to attain the best results, so make sure to book in for this early.

• Chemical peels – A series of peels is a simple and easy way to refresh your skin and get your wedding day glow. This is also an excellent treatment to help clear and manage acne. Start with a series of 4-6 peels every two weeks and then transition to once a month for optimal outcomes.

• CoolSculpting® – This fat-freezing phenom is THE sure-fire way to be rid of those extra bits of fat that just won’t budge with diet and exercise. This treatment can address a variety of areas where unwanted fat resides – think love handles, bra-line and tummy fat, buttocks and thighs, upper arms, and even under the chin. Our clinic uses the CoolAdvantage system, which provides a more comfortable treatment in half the time of previous methods. Our CoolSculpting expert, Beauty Nurse Lauren, will guide you towards your ideal shape in only one to two treatment sessions, with final results achieved in 6 to 8 weeks as the body fully eliminates the treated fat

Tip 3 Up your at-home routine.

Taking extra time to mask, exfoliate and moisturize your skin at home will help you to maintain the results you’ve achieved with in-office treatments. For brides, if your wedding gown exposes your chest and back, making that extra effort to care for these areas will be essential. When you visit us, we will make recommendations for an ideal skincare routine to achieve your best all-over glow.

Some of our favourite pre-wedding skincare must-haves include:

>Brides will definitely want to put LATISSE®, an eye-lash enhancement treatment, on their list. Applying this nightly treatment over a period of 12-18 weeks extends the growth cycle of the lashes, allowing them to grow longer, fuller and darker for your wedding day. No more worrying about lash extensions falling off.  

>Glo minerals are a must for bridal makeup. These skin-friendly cosmetics have staying power while looking perfectly light and natural. Mineral cosmetics also happen to be excellent for photographs as they reflect light, giving your complexion a luminous appearance.
