Your pre-wedding skin plan: a 6 month timeline
When to start laser, peels and facials so your skin is at its best on the day, with no surprises.
Quick answer: Start 6 months out with a consultation and any laser hair removal, use peels or microneedling 3 to 4 months before, and keep the final month to gentle facials with no new treatments in the last two weeks.
Six months before
Book a consultation, start a medical skincare routine and begin laser hair removal, which needs several sessions.
Three to four months before
This is the time for courses of peels, SkinPen or Clear + Brilliant that need recovery and build results over time.
One month before
Switch to gentle maintenance such as a hydrating facial or dermaplaning.
The final two weeks
No new treatments or products. Keep skin calm, hydrated and protected.
Common questions
Can I have a peel the week before?
Only a gentle one you have had before. Stronger peels need 7 to 10 days to settle.
