Bridalplasty is a huge and growing trend, but more and more brides are choosing not to go under the knife before their wedding but instead turn to minimally invasive procedures that can restore a youthful glow, banish wrinkles and clear skin. For many brides, a radiant glow and clear, smooth skin is just as important as the perfect dress. If you want minor work that will make you look a few years younger or just more refreshed and rested, the following are some of the most popular options brides today choose. |
Botox Injections
Botox is a brand name of botulinum toxin A. Physicians inject Botox directly into muscles responsible for wrinkles using a very thin needle. Botox is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the United States, with more than 6 million injections performed every single year.
Botox is most popular with brides in their 30s and 40s to treat wrinkles around the mouth, forehead and eyes. If you're going to get Botox injections before your wedding, have it done for the first time seven months before you walk down the aisle to make sure you are comfortable with your appearance. You can then have a touch-up treatment before the wedding.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel damages the top layer of the skin and causes it to shed or peel off, in some cases, although not all peels cause the skin to peel. Chemical peels do enough damage to the skin that the body is prompted to repair the damage, replacing the damaged skin with new, healthy and radiant skin for a more youthful, rested appearance. Chemical peels can address many common skin issues, such as fine lines, rough patches, sun damage, acne scars and irregular pigmentation.
Chemical peels should be done about a month before the wedding. Peels are a great choice because they are very affordable and help you look your best, without looking radically different. The recovery period depends on the peel you choose, but most peels have a very mild recovery.
