Bridal Beauty Countdown
By: Radhika Trivedi, MD at Dermatology Specialists of GA & Aqua Medical Spa
Congratulations! You are officially engaged. Now is the perfect time to focus on your skin. Start by making an appointment for a consultation with our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Radhika Trivedi, for an evaluation and treatment plan.
Cosmetic Injectables and Dermal Fillers: 6 Months Before the BIG DAY!
Dermal fillers and neuromodulators like Botox offer noticeable improvements – restoring volume and fullness, softening wrinkles, and helping to reverse signs of aging. With Dr. Trivedi’s experience and knowledge of the face, patients experience minimal discomfort with these injections. Starting treatments around six months before the event allows for the results to settle and appear natural by the big day.
Aerolase Laser: 5 Months Before the BIG DAY!
“Aerolase laser is a powerful yet gentle option for improving skin tone and clarity, making it an ideal choice for addressing hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven texture before a wedding.” Its advanced technology targets pigment deep within the skin resulting in a brighter, more even complexion with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Starting treatments several months ahead of the big day allows the skin to gradually clear and renew, so you can enjoy a smooth, radiant glow that looks flawless in person and in photos!
Chemical Peel (Series): 4 Months Before the BIG DAY!
Chemical peels exfoliate the skin and help reduce fine lines, improve the appearance of scars, diminish dark marks, and enhance your skin’s texture. Be warned that they can cause your face to physically peel, for weeks after, depending on the strength of the peel and how your individual skin reacts. There are many different peels, so it is best to meet with Dr. Trivedi to get a customized plan.
Emsculpt: 3 Months Out Before the BIG DAY!
Emsculpt is an excellent option for wedding prep because it helps tone and strengthen muscles while also reducing stubborn fat – perfect for achieving a more sculpted, confident look in your wedding attire. It’s a non-invasive treatment with no downtime, making it easy to fit into a busy pre-wedding schedule. Starting Emsculpt about five months before the big day allows for a full series of treatments and gives your body time to respond and show optimal results, so you look and feel your best for photos and when all eyes are on you!
Custom Blend Facial and Dermaplane: 2 Months Out Before the BIG DAY!
Making time for yourself prior to the big day is important. A facial treatment can target specific needs, increase skin health, and enhance appearance leaving your skin feeling clear, bright, and revitalized. Dermaplaning is a facial exfoliation treatment that carries the added bonus of removing fine vellus hairs, often referred to as “peach fuzz.” A straight edged blade is used to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing the brighter, smoother skin underneath.
Diamond Glow™: 1 Months Out Before the BIG DAY!
Diamond Glow™ is a completely customizable, non invasive, 3in1 nextlevel skin resurfacing treatment. As diamond encrusted exfoliating tips reveal brighter, more radiant skin, professional grade serums are simultaneously infused into the skin at the peak of receptivity. High power suction then deep cleanses the skin’s surface and pores. Just one Diamond Glow™ session can enhance clarity and luminosity while continued treatment will reap more exceptional, long term results such as reduction in fine lines, discoloration, and pore congestion.
