Let’s talk 𝕘𝕝𝕠𝕨 𝕦𝕡 𝕘𝕠𝕒𝕝𝕤 with the experts at ✨

➡️ Start your aesthetic journey 6-12 months before your big day for optimal results! For example, collagen treatments can take up to 3 months to show full effects.

- Choose your provider carefully — check for board certifications and real examples of their work with clients who share similar goals. Be wary of stock photos that don’t represent a provider’s own work!
- Start small with Botox or fillers. Slow and steady helps products settle naturally, and some treatments require multiple sessions for the best outcome.
- A medical-grade facial combined with dermaplaning 1-2 weeks ahead of your wedding will give your skin a glow and ensure makeup application is as smooth as can be! 💄✨
- Your provider can treat more areas that just your face! Many to-be-weds seek treatments to address concerns like underarm sweating before the big day.

𝑷𝒓𝒐 𝒕𝒊𝒑: Bring mom along — she can benefit from many of these treatments too!
