Bridal Beauty With Dr. Shaw!

As a bride, you want to look your best on your wedding day. After all, the memories (and especially the photos) from that day will last a lifetime. When you look through the photo album, you want to see memories from when you looked and felt your best! 

This is why bridal beauty plans were made. By scheduling the right treatment beforehand, you can look your absolute best on your wedding day. In this blog, you can find out everything about bridal beauty treatments and the best moments to get them done so that you are ready to shine on your big day!

Things to Consider When Getting a Bridal Beauty Plan

When it comes to choosing a bridal beauty plan, there are certain things that you should consider first, including the timing and the effect(s) that each treatment will provide. Here is what Dr. Shaw recommends:

  1. Timely Consultation Scheduling

When you schedule a consultation for a bridal beauty plan, you should be as timely with it as possible. Ideally, the consultation should be about nine to 12 months before the wedding. This can help you and Dr. Shaw come up with a good treatment plan for your needs. That being said, custom plans can be made even if you don’t have that time on your hands.

You should also get the treatment done a few months before the wedding, to avoid any potential side effects. For instance, while rare, dermal fillers can lead to a series of complications, including redness, bruising, and more. By getting the treatment early, you give the area enough time to heal.

  1. Treatment Goals

When you set up a plan, you should also determine your ultimate beauty goals. Do you want to eliminate wrinkles? Or perhaps you want to remove some excess fat from certain problem areas. Regardless, you need to keep in mind that each goal may require a different timeline. Knowing this will help you determine when you should undergo the treatment.

  1. Time of the Wedding

Depending on the time or season when the wedding is planned, your treatment might not have the effect or longevity that you are waiting for. For instance, if you have a winter wedding, you can easily get a BOTOX® Cosmetic injection a couple of months before the event. However, BOTOX® Cosmetic gets metabolized faster during summer, which is why it may be smart to plan the injections closer to the wedding. By discussing your wedding date and goals with the professionals at Synergy, we can help you choose the correct date and time for your aesthetic treatments. 

Injectables You Can Get for the Perfect Bridal Beauty Glow

A bridal beauty plan may have one or more treatments included in the package. Some of the most common services you can benefit from are: 

  1. Wrinkle Relaxers

Many of the wrinkles on your forehead, around your eyes, or between your eyebrows are caused by excessive facial movements. Wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX® Cosmetic, temporarily immobilize and relax the muscles in the treated area, revealing a smoother aesthetic. 

  1. Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® can help you restore volume in areas where it has been lost, and they can also enhance your features. Fillers can be injected into the wrinkles to reduce creases, and they also enhance the cheeks and lips, if desired. When used correctly, dermal fillers help reduce scar depressions, including acne scars.

  1. KYBELLA® 

If you are dealing with excess fat in the chin area (i.e., a double chin), KYBELLA® can also help you. KYBELLA® uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to break down fat in the injected area. After the treatment, your body will naturally flush out the damaged cells, leaving you with a smoother chin contour and jawline.

Look Your Best on Your Special Day

As a bride, it may be important to you to be in top shape on your wedding day. At the same time, you want to look as natural as possible, without requiring any heavy editing on the photos.
