Three months before your wedding — the complete treatment schedule

Before we start — the golden rule

The rule is simple: try each treatment as a test run first — at least 6–8 weeks before the wedding — then repeat it within a safe window. If your skin responds well: great. If not, you still have time for plan B.

Weeks 12–9 (3 months to 2 months before) — THE FOUNDATION

This stage is about repair and preparing the groundwork. You're not chasing a "wow" effect here — you're building the base that makes everything else work better.

Chemical peels — the starter series. If you have hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, roughness or blackheads, a series of 3–4 chemical peels (mandelic, lactic or glycolic acid, depending on your skin) every 2 weeks forms the foundation. Peels remove dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin, while also preparing the ground for the treatments that follow — active ingredients absorb better once the epidermis has been exfoliated.

Weeks 8–5 (2 months to 5 weeks before) — INTENSIFICATION

The foundation is in place. Now we move up a level, to treatments that genuinely transform skin quality.

Weeks 4–2 (a month to 2 weeks before) — THE FINISHING TOUCHES

Your skin is prepared. Now we bring in the precision treatments that add that final "wow" factor.

• Forehead lines — a smooth forehead photographs beautifully from the front
• Frown lines (between the brows) — so you don't look like you're squinting in church in every photo
• Crow's feet — subtle smoothing, eyes look bright and open
• Gummy smile (excessive gum exposure) — a few units in the lip elevator muscle, and your smile looks flawless in photos

Week 1 (7 days before) — RADIANCE

The day before the wedding — NOTHING NEW

What to do the day before your wedding:

• Gentle cleansing
• Your tried-and-tested moisturiser
• Under-eye patches (the ones you know and love)
• Plenty of water
• Sleep — at least 7–8 hours
• Breathe. Seriously. Take a deep breath. Tomorrow is your day.

Complete checklist

• 6–10 months before — laser hair removal (start the series — the earlier, the better)
• 12 weeks before — consultation with a cosmetologist or doctor + personalised plan
• 12–8 weeks before — series of chemical peels (3–4 treatments every 2 weeks, SPF mandatory)
• 8–6 weeks before — series of mesotherapy sessions (2–3 sessions, neck and décolletage too!)
• Weeks 8 and 4 before — Profhilo (2 sessions, if indicated)
• Weeks 7–6 before — fractional laser (only if needed — the last safe window)
• 4 weeks before — wedding makeup trial (with skin fully prepped)
• 3–4 weeks before — hyaluronic acid (lips, jawline, tear troughs — if planned)
• 2–3 weeks before — Botox (the ideal window for the wedding)
• 2 weeks before — brow lamination (natural look for the big day)
• 5–7 days before — HydraFacial (instant glow)
• 3–5 days before — LED therapy (a risk-free boost)
• 3–5 days before — lymphatic facial massage (relaxation and swelling reduction)
• 2–3 days before — manicure and pedicure (classic, not gel — so it can be touched up if needed)
• The day before — NOTHING NEW (gentle skincare, sleep, water)

Plan B — because life isn't perfect

Sometimes things don't go to plan. A spot appears. A bruise from a treatment won't fade. An allergic reaction to a new product. Here's your emergency plan:
