Finally, your big day is just around the corner. You’ve spent months, or maybe years, ensuring that every detail is perfect.
The last thing you want is to neglect yourself. You know that there will be photos from every angle, and that they’ll be pictures you’ll see around your home every day for the rest of your life.
You want to look and feel your best. You want to be the best version of you. To feel confident in every photo, just as you deserve to feel.
When it comes to having dermal fillers and other cosmetic treatments before your wedding, timing is everything. Too soon, and the results may not be at their best. Too late, and the swelling and potential bruising may not have settled, and there won’t be time for a touch up in the rare case it is required.
The following are the most important things you need to know when preparing for you wedding:
1. Anti Wrinkle Injections cannot be reversed, therefore a conservative approach is always preferable to minimise the risk of appearing frozen and having a droopy eyebrow or eyelid.
Anti wrinkle injections take about 2 weeks to fully kick in, with the effect gradually wearing off over 2-5 months. You should avoid having anti wrinkle treatment for the first time before your wedding. A trial run 6-12 months out will allow your injector to find your ideal dose, adjusting based on your results as needed.
When it comes to having treatment before your big day, have treatment at least a month before to allow the results to kick in, and the effect to soften slightly so that you have some movement and expression.
2. Dermal fillers should be done no later than six weeks before your wedding.
What if you bruise? Or have a lump? Or need slightly more, or the filler dissolved When it is such an important day, you should allow for unforeseen circumstances, and prepare for the worst case scenario. The vast majority of the time, your results will look great after two weeks. But it is always better to play it safe.
3. If you’re reshaping your nose, have your first treatment at least three months before so that if you need a second stage, this can be done at least six weeks before your wedding.
Timing is critical when it comes to the nose. Get it wrong, and the results won’t be at their best.
4. When it comes to your skin, start as early as possible, as the skin takes time to improve.
Trying to optimise your skin a few weeks before just isn’t going to work. Get started on high quality skin care and skin tightening treatments at least a year before your big day. Oh, and avoid anything in the few weeks prior, just in case your skin decides to purge.
5. When it comes to double chin fat dissolving injections before a wedding, remember that usually more than one treatment tis needed, and that the area will look worse for up to 6-8 weeks before seeing the final results.
To put it simply, the earlier the better. And never within 2 months of your big day.
Many people often wonder when the best time to get dermal fillers, anti wrinkle and other cosmetic treatments before a wedding is. Having a good relationship with your cosmetic doctor will ensure that you can work together to time your treatments, and pivot as needed.
Finally, just remember that it isn’t all about how you look. No-one is perfect, so trust in the process, and focus on enjoying one of the best days of your life, and creating memories that will last a life time.
