Pre-Wedding Cosmetic Treatments: A Timeline

Your wedding will be one of the most photographed events of your life. It’s a day you’ll remember for years to come, so you’ll want to look — and more importantly, feel — your best. With all the planning you have to do in preparation for the main event, the last thing you want to stress over is a routine that will give you clear, smooth, radiant skin. That’s where we come in.

At Kaya Cosmedica, we specialise in healthy skin and effortless, ageless beauty. We created this simple, easy-to-follow pre-wedding cosmetic treatment timeline to ensure you’re camera-ready and confident when the big day arrives.

As Soon As Possible: Skin Care

Products

Committing to a medical-grade skincare regimen early will give you the most noticeable and long-lasting results. Consistent use of the right products at home will not only improve the health and appearance of your skin, it will also boost the effectiveness of your in-office treatments. Synergie Skin is our preferred cosmeceutical brand at Kaya Cosmedica. Dr Khinda offers skin care consultations to customise your product regimen to address any particular skin concerns you may have.

Supplements

We also offer Intrametica®’s premium range of nutri-cosmetic skincare supplements. Developed by renowned naturopath Angela Maree Smith, Intrametica®’s products are ethically sourced formulated and developed using the latest information in biomedical research and herbal medicine. Over time, including these certified organic wholefood powders in your daily routine can improve the appearance and vitality of your skin from the inside out.

Six to Nine Months: First-Time Aesthetic Treatments

If you have any aesthetic concerns, now is the time to book a consultation and assessment to determine the best, individualised treatment plan for you.

Three to Six Months: Progressive Treatments

Medical Peels

Medical peels excel at minimising skin imperfections and restoring health to the dermis. Peels are classified by the depth of treatment: extra light, superficial, medium and deep. The deeper the peel, the more dramatic the results but the more downtime it requires. Plan your pre-wedding peel regimen accordingly. A series of lighter peels scheduled once per month can achieve the same aesthetic benefits as a deep peel, with less irritation, fewer risks and little to no downtime.

Omnilux

LED therapy with Omnilux uses different light wavelengths to address a range of cosmetic and medical skin concerns, including wrinkles, acne, rosacea and pigmentation. Each treatment delivers short-term complexion improvements. Over time, if you complete a series of Omnilux treatments, the light therapy can enhance the production of collagen, elastin and growth factors for deeper improvements in skin clarity, texture and tone.

Microneedling

Professional microneedling offers a deeper level of resurfacing than derma rollers to even out skin tone and achieve a radiant complexion. Dr Khinda offers microneedling treatments with the Dermapen and an advanced treatment called Dermafrac, which combines microneedling with microdermabrasion and the infusion of targeted serums. The positive effects of microneedling treatments are cumulative. We recommend repeating Dermapen or Dermafrac every four to six weeks until you achieve the wedding-worthy results you’re looking for.

One to Three Months: Touch-Ups and Final Refresh

In the last few months of your wedding countdown, focus on treatments you have already received. This is not the right time to introduce new treatments that may have unexpected side effects or unpredictable results into your routine. Use this window to top-up your aesthetic treatments or have the final treatment in a series done. This leaves ample time for any post-treatment effects like swelling, bruising or redness to fade, and for the final results of your treatment to settle in before the big day.  This may also be a good time to have a hyperhidrosis treatment if you’re concerned about excessive sweating during your wedding day. Only extremely gentle treatments, such as Omnilux, should be considered in the last week or two before your wedding.
