Congratulations you are getting married, but the stark reality is pretty much the price skyrockets for most things as soon as you say its for a wedding! That certainly doesn’t happen at CleanSkins, our aim is for you to have the best skin you can have and to be hair free for the big day and beyond! Depending on the condition of your skin and your hair removal needs that may mean occasional or regular visits to see us prior to the wedding date. We provide clients with a holistic approach in maintaining and correcting the skin. Our focus is on non-surgical cosmetic treatments using the most effective medical grade equipment and dermatological skin care. We are committed to providing treatments and products that actually ‘make a difference’ not client money wasters! To that end our treatments and products are results based, clinically proven and tried and tested over time.
As soon as you book the wedding date make an appointment for a skin and hair removal assessment!
- Make a decision about hair removal – you will want to be free of unwanted hair for the big day and the 1st decision you need to make is: do you want the permanence of laser hair removal for your wedding, the honeymoon and beyond or do you just want to wax a couple of days prior to the wedding. Trust us if you knew how amazing our laser hair removal results were there would be no decision to make, however laser hair removal is not right for everyone so during your initial free hair removal consultation we assess your suitability for laser hair removal and discuss the best option for you.
- Preparing you skin for the big day could be relatively simple for us, however if you have problematic skin, make sure you come early so that we can make sure we commence your skin program as soon as possible. There are no potions, lotions or treatments that will instantly fix problematic, compromised, aged or sun damaged skin! Trust us you will get promised a lot of ‘quick fixes’ from the internet, cosmetic, beauty or even medical industries, however we assure you that these ‘quick fixes’ will give you minimal long lasting results or even worse may even cause short or long term damage! Just like the tortoise and the hair, slow & gradual wins the race when it comes to your skin, and usually costs a way lot less as well! So if you come in early for your initial skin assessment, we can help you plan to have the best skin by the big day whether your skin needs a little bit of attention or a lot!
6 months prior
- Hair Removal – If you have chosen laser hair removal, your treatments will be each 8 to 10 weeks apart and we will need to time them so that you have your pre-wedding laser hair removal treatment at least 2 weeks and 2 days prior the big day (or 2 weeks prior to any planed pre-wedding tanning).
- If you haven’t already had a skin assessment make sure you get in now.
- If you are trying to loose weight and decide to avoid fats, carbohydrates, proteins or other essential food groups make sure you take supplements to minimise the impact that diets can have on the health of your skin. We highly recommend you consult a dietician to make sure that you don’t starve your skin of the essential elements needed for overall skin health.
3 months prior
- Hair Removal
- If you have chosen laser hair removal by now your laser hair removal treatment plan will be in place.
- If you have chosen waxing for facial or body areas, and you are not already having regular waxing make sure you start at least 3 months prior to the big day and we will make sure that we time the last pre-wedding wax perfectly. Regular pre-wedding waxing will give you the best results and minimise any unwanted side effects. Make sure that you don’t try anything new too close to the big day as different products or techniques could cause skin irritations and you certainly want to iron out any issues months prior to the wedding.
- Skin Preparation – If we haven’t already started you on a skin program it will be because you have no major skin concerns. To make sure that your skin is glowing for the big day, we recommend that at minimum you have facial & Omnilux LED treatment monthly at this stage. Omnilux LED is a non-ablative treatment that heals the skin from the ‘inside out’, treating your skin at a cellular level leaving your skin clearer, brighter with an overall smoother complexion.
- Eyebrow Shaping – it can take time to create the perfect eyebrow shape to suit your face so if you are not already coming in for eyebrow shaping, make sure you start now.
1 month prior
- Hair Removal – If you have chosen laser hair removal your last pre wedding treatment will be 2 weeks and 2 days prior to the big day or 2 weeks prior to any pre-wedding tanning.
- Skin Preparation – Continuing with a good hydrating home care skin care routine is a must and we highly recommend gentle peel & Omnilux LED treatments. Don’t try any new products or new treatments this close to your wedding or all the good preparation may be lost or worse you could suffer unwanted side effects! Wear extra sun protection to make sure there is no unplanned tanning and risks of tan lines. Drink heaps of water, get enough sleep, continue a well balanced diet and exercise program and of course (much easier said and done at this time!) minimise stress!
1 week prior
- Hair Removal
- You will be finished your laser hair removal treatments and can start tanning 2 weeks after your last laser hair removal treatment.
- Make sure that your last eyebrow, facial, or body wax is no later than 3 days prior to the big day.
- Skin Preparation – Don’t change anything. Minimise stress. Book for a relaxing massage and come in for 1 or 2 Omnilux LED Revive treatments, the last one as close to the big day as possible. The afternoon before would be perfect!
Avoid over exercising this week, all the hard work should have already have been done. Avoid salt and minimise carbohydrate intake to avoid excess water retention.
2 days prior
- Skin Preparation – Stress can be unavoidable this close and an Omnilux LED Revive treatment the night before is perfect to reduce stress, puffiness and give your skin an overall glow!
Day of the wedding
All of the hard preparation work should be done! Make sure that you apply your moisturiser and serum directly before you have your make up done. Remember no new products at all today! Relax and enjoy the day!
