Dr Tanvi Vaidya from Derma MD Clinic recommends

As the wedding day approaches, brides and grooms seek the perfect glow for their special day, and one pre-wedding treatment gaining popularity is the "medifacial." A medifacial combines the pampering of a traditional facial with the advanced benefits of medical-grade skincare treatments. Tailored to individual skin needs, medifacials often include a combination of exfoliation, deep cleansing, and the infusion of potent serums or clinical-grade products. These facials go beyond surface-level relaxation, targeting specific skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne. We prefer to up it further and combine traditional hydra facials with picosecond laser toning or radiofrequency skin tightening for that added boost.

Another extremely popular treatment for brides is skin boosters. Skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain moisture and plumpness. By delivering a controlled and precise amount of hyaluronic acid beneath the skin's surface, these boosters work to hydrate, smoothen, and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment is known for its ability to address fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture, offering a subtle yet noticeable improvement in skin quality. The natural-looking results make them a popular choice for individuals seeking a refreshed and youthful complexion without the need for more invasive procedures.

Skin treatment for brides for glowing and flawless skin on their wedding day. One such treatment is the Synergy Hydrafacial.

This facial includes aqua suctions followed by an infusion of glycolic serum, lactic serums, and hyaluronic serums in a step-by-step process. Infusion is followed by hydration using hydrafacial creams which give an intense burst of hydration. The next step is Oxygeno where a capsule generates CO2 on the skin surface which leads to higher absorption of oxygen, thus, oxygenating the skin, and making it look brighter and healthier. 

The next step is Radio Frequency Collagen Rejuvenation and Skin Tightening for the best-looking skin on their D-day. These treatments are highly recommended as they are safe and highly effective. They make one look their best selves on The D day that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

I believe in minimalistic skincare & makeup, so my aim for my upcoming brides on the wedding day is that there is minimum make-up and natural skin glow and blush. So, if my bride has the time then I plan it in 2 steps or else we just opt for the instant glow IPL treatment

Step 1. Microneedling (don't get fooled by the word needle, this is painless)

Step 2: Combination of IPL light therapy and a hydrating Aqua facial (it’s just a light therapy that instantly makes your face light up)

So, in the Micro-needling procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the face, and then with a pen-like device, we run it all over the face. It induces tiny injury in the face which makes the skin produce growth factors needed for skin rejuvenation and stimulates the production of collagen. It helps-

1. Improve the appearance of open pores
2. Evens out skin tone texture
3. Reduces pigmentation
4. Tightens the Face
5. Gives a natural blush & glow to the face

IPL and Aqua facial: It’s a light-emitting device that targets specific areas of the skin. It has no downtime and leaves your skin super hydrated and with an instant natural glow on the face

Many brides may consider opting for a HydraFacial as part of their pre-wedding beauty regimen, attracted by the procedure's increasing popularity.

However, I believe that alternatives such as milder chemical peels, like lactic acid or enzymatic peels, might be more suitable. For those prone to acne, a Q-switched carbon laser could be a beneficial choice. These options are less likely to induce reactions and offer a more naturally radiant and healthy glow. My recommendation is always to test these procedures a few times before the wedding day to ensure there are no last-minute flare-ups or adverse skin reactions. It's crucial to find the right balance between achieving the desired results and minimizing the risk of unexpected skin responses, ensuring that the bride looks and feels her best on this special day.

Taking a cautious and personalized approach to skincare treatments ensures that the bride's skin is well-prepared, radiant, and free from any unwelcome surprises when the big day arrives.

Please note that everyone’s skin type and skin issues are different. Please consult a dermatologist before getting any treatment.
