Bridal Aesthetic Treatment Timeline: Atlanta Brides, This One’s for You

Your Special Day, Your Perfect Glow

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable (and most photographed!) days of your life. Our exclusive bridal treatment packages are designed to ensure you look and feel your best on your special day. A well-planned beauty regimen including in-office treatments and an at-home skincare regimen will leave you radiant, confident, and camera-ready. 

The days right before your wedding are not the time to try out a new product or treatment! Just like you do a makeup trial, we recommend a “test run” in the months leading up to ensure you are happy with your results and allow for any adjustments if needed. Here’s a general timeline to give you an idea of a treatment schedule so your skin looks its best on your big day.

Our General Bride Timeline

✦ 1 year out - Consultation and Game Plan

First things first, congrats!

We can’t wait to celebrate with you, and the first step is an in-depth consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, skin concerns, and collaborate on a comprehensive custom treatment plan and timeline leading up to your wedding. We’ll discuss in-office treatments, skincare regimen, and more! The earlier the better for skincare to get on a consistent routine and achieve radiant, glowing skin. Consistency is key for addressing stubborn issues like acne, dullness, hyperpigmentation, or wrinkles.

This is also a good time to start any treatment series with downtime like Sculptra or Kybella. Kybella usually requires 2-4 treatments to permanently dissolve any stubborn fat in the “double chin” area. Sculptra is a biostimulator for collagen production and skin quality. It’s recommended in a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart and lasts 2 years, so it’s a great choice to jumpstart early!

✦ 9 months - Wrinkle Relaxers

If you’re considering wrinkle relaxers like Botox and Dysport, around the 9-month mark is a perfect time for your first treatment. These treatments last roughly 3-4 months, so this gives plenty of time to dial in your perfect dose. Not to mention, you’ll be wrinkle-free for any engagement parties, family holidays, showers, and bachelorette trips along the way! Sculptra is great here, too!

✦ 6 months - Skin Treatments

6 months out is the ideal time for skin treatments. At Skinship, we typically recommend a series of microneedling treatments, chemical peels, or even a combination of the two to get your skin clear and glowing for the main event. Every makeup artist will tell you that good skin is the key to the best makeup looks. It’s the true foundation (under your foundation!) Microneedling improves tone, texture, pores, wrinkles, and sun damage while chemical peels brighten, smooth, and tackle acne, sun damage, and fine lines and wrinkles. If wedding planning stress is starting to show with under-eye darkness or bags, PRF injections are a natural, regenerative treatment using your body’s own growth factors that improves darkness, fine lines, and hollowing to brighten and ensure you look well-rested on your big day! Microneedling, peels, and undereye treatments are best spaced about a month apart and can have some minor downtime. 6 months out is an ideal time to get your skin on track and still allow for any extra sessions if needed. If you’re getting your Botox and Dysport every 3-4 months, this can be stacked and done the same day!

✦ 3 months - Filler

3-4 months out is the time to do any filler! A little subtle, well-placed filler enhances and balances your natural features for the best version of yourself. Skinvive is one of our favorites that’s used in a microdroplet technique for glass skin and a hint of hydration in the lips will give you the perfect pout. Filler lasts anywhere from 6 months to over a year, so a few months before the big day allows for any bruising or swelling to resolve and for your results to settle in perfectly. This also gives you time for any additions or touchups before your big day.

✦ 6 weeks-1 month - Final touches!

You’re in the home stretch! 6 weeks to a month out we recommend your last Botox or Dysport treatment. You can also stack your tox with a final microneedling or chemical peel treatment for plenty of downtime to recover and lock in that glow.

✦ 2-4 weeks out - Skin prep with Skinship Signature Facial

Time for a Botox/Dysport touch up if needed and your Skinship Signature Facial—the ultimate pre-wedding skincare experience! This medical-grade no-downtime facial infuses your skin with a custom cocktail of medical-grade ingredients, followed by a nourishing, deep hydration mask.  It’s the perfect last step treatment to ensure your skin looks flawless without irritation or downtime. If you have any stubborn blemishes, we’ve got your back with a little acne injection to help it vanish before the main event.

✦ Week of - Glow

Rest, hydrate, have FUN! Oh, and don’t forget to wash off your rehearsal dinner make up before you go to bed! You’ll thank us in the morning ;) No new products or treatments this week, just stick your tried and true routine. Time to let that gorgeous skin shine and cherish your special day!
