When it comes to wedding prep, brides-to-be pay close attention to their beauty regimen, trading in their one-step cleansing routines for an array of products that promise glowing skin by their wedding day.
And for those who really want to step up their skincare game, there are the splurge-worthy beauty treatments at the dermatologist’s office.
From lasers to micro-needling, the skin-perfecting options are seemingly endless, so we chatted with some of our favorite dermatologists to see what beauty treatments are trending among their bride-to-be clientele.
“This is my number one laser treatment for brides-to-be,” says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
“The laser punches microscopic holes in the skin to create a controlled wound. It takes advantage of the skin’s ability to repair itself, creating new healthy collagen and improving skin tone, texture, and radiance.”
While there is some discomfort during the treatment, it’s temporary, and so is the virtually zero downtime. Dr. Zeichner explains that you will be red for a few hours after the treatment and afterward, you’ll have minimal redness and a sandpaper-like feel to your skin for about a week.
“The laser safely can be performed two weeks before the wedding to give your skin a glowing appearance on your big day,” he says.
He typically recommends a series of three treatments one month apart (the last one being 2 weeks before the wedding) and adds that the cost per treatment can range from $500 to $600.
Laser hair removal has always been popular among brides-to-be, and with new lasers hitting the market like the Lumenis LightSheer Desire recommended by New York City dermatologist Dr. Estee Williams, it’s never been easier.
