Dermatologist Approved Bridal Skincare Plan: Best facials for brides in India

Every bride deserves to feel like a Hollywood star on her wedding day, with radiant, flawless skin that glows in every photo. Whether you’re walking down the red carpet or the aisle, perfect skin is a must. Dr. Kiran Sethi’s pre-wedding bridal facial and skincare checklist ensures that your skin will look its absolute best, with treatments tailored to your unique needs.

Here’s a breakdown of her dermatologist-approved, pre-wedding skincare plan, designed to give you the glow that’ll leave everyone in awe.

1. Six Months Before the Wedding: Set the Foundation

• Consult a Dermatologist: Start with a personalized consultation and ask about their bridal glow facial kit. We at Isya assess your skin type, concerns, and goals and offer treatments like chemical peels, lasers, hydrafacials, lip and cheek fillers, eyelash extensions, botox, or microneedling that can address specific issues of hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or dullness and also make the best bridal facial kit.
  
• Begin Laser Hair Removal: If you want smooth, hair-free skin, this is the perfect time to start laser hair removal treatment for brides.

• Address Pigmentation: Incorporate pigment-correcting treatments such as chemical peels or laser treatments like Clearlift 4D, which help in achieving an even skin tone by reducing dark spots and discoloration and will make you look the most beautiful bride ever.
  
• Address Acne and Acne Scars: For textural irregularities and severe acne, skincare and treatments to clear the acne, like Ambrosia and Clearskin, are ideal, while treating those scars is a must because they can’t be well hidden by makeup or BB cream! To solve those scars, treatments like Pixel Perfect, Delfina Scarless, Viscoderm, fillers and Profhilo may be for you.

2. Three Months Before the Wedding: Build a Routine

• Monthly bridal facials: Monthly bridal facials, such as the SilkLove, BLISS, Elixir and Dermagenesis facials by Dr Kiran at Isya, help maintain hydration, infuse nutrition, remove pollution, cleanse pores, and promote a radiant complexion.
  
• Boost Collagen Production: Non-invasive treatments like Ultherapy, DELFINA or MIFU work to stimulate collagen and tighten skin, improving skin elasticity for a firmer appearance.
  
• Bridal Skincare Regimen: Your dermatologist may recommend incorporating retinoids, vitamin C serums, and antioxidants to your routine to brighten the complexion and smooth fine lines.

3. Eight Weeks to 12 Weeks Before the Wedding: Address Specific Concerns

• Acne Treatments: If you struggle with mild acne, this is the time to get it under control with LED therapy, chemical peels, or targeted facials like the Cloudskin Facial and Acne Defense may be for you.
  
• Elixir Hydrafacial: Begin scheduling Elixir HydraFacials every three weeks to deeply cleanse, decongest, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, ensuring that your skin looks dewy and refreshed on your big day.
  
• Chemical Peels: Gentle Glycolic Acid Peels, Glow Peels or Black Peels can exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving your skin soft and smooth for your wedding day.
  
• Anti-Pigmentation Treatment for Brides: Treating pigmentation is a must in the bridal facial kit so your skin is ultra-even and bright on that big day. With Picosure FOCUS Toning, and Brilliance, we have strongly penetrating lasers that are the most effective around for even the most tough to treat pigmentation. 

If you have melasma, pigmentation around your mouth or forehead, dullness, or even serious conditions like lichen planus pigments, Isya Aesthetics can solve them with the best laser treatment for pigmentation. 

For those brides who want a non laser therapy, and also want prevention against significant pigmentation, our microneedling based bridal facials like Ultima and Good Genes really do the job with customized actives to your skin.
And, they give you a glow, remove tanning, and provide deep nutrition to the skin while boosting your collagen! 

• Bridal Laser Facials: Laser and light-based facials like Neo, PHOTOHD, CL4D and Revive can improve pores, fine lines, mild uneven skin and improve skin glow in advance of that big day! 

4.  Four Weeks to Eight Weeks Before the Wedding: Bridal Polishing Touches

Injectible Bioremodulators, Boosters and MicroBotox or Invisitox

Bioremodulators are designed to reverse time and improve skin health in the long term. We focus on Polynucleotides, which are DNA fragments derived from salmon, and Profhilo which is scientifically processed hyaluronic acid. Polynucleotides like Nucleoskin can improve skin thickness and under eye thinning skin, while Profhilo deeply improves collagen and elastin production, gives hydration while also improving temple and forehead hollowing and thinning skin. 

Polynucleotides require 3-4 sessions spaced every 2 weeks, while Profhilo can be done in 2 sessions spaced 3-8 weeks apart. Results last 6 months to a year! 

Don’t ignore Bridal Booster! 

Bridal Boosters when done appropriately can stretch out acne scars, remove lines around the mouth and accordion lines and even remove neck lines ( our fave is Viscoderm for this purpose), while other boosters like Volite can give you that makeup free highlighter effect, perfect for brides and gives the ultimate glow in a single session. These boosters can be done in a single session but may require a top up in a month. Results last approximately 6 months! 

Finally, Invisitox is Isya’s proprietary MicroBotox technique where we inject microdoses of tox across the face and the neck in the intradermal plane, resulting in a natural tightening, gentle softening of lines, reduction of pores, reduction of acne, and even a benefit in rosacea. And you can still move your face like you did before! Results last 3-6 months at least.

Botox, Thread Lifts & Fillers:

If needed, this is the right time to get Botox or dermal fillers to smooth wrinkles, enhance facial features like lip augmentation, jawline and chin augmentation and remove under-eye circles. Thread Lifts are great for lifting facial structures, removing nasolabial folds, doing a natural botox-free lip lift, raising the brows, removing submental or double chin laxity, and more. 

At Isya we are specialized in all injectable treatments and can offer unparalleled results for all your facial needs. We work with both men and women to create the ultimate look. We even do bridal facial designing to design the perfect face for you and use injectables for that purpose as well, but we need time for the ideal results where you look like the ideal version of you.

5. Two Weeks to Four Weeks Before the Wedding

• SIGNATURE FACIALS may be right for you as it is usually one session that treats multiple concerns with results that last even after the wedding. A Gold Plasma treatment before your wedding exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and hyaluronic acid infusions, resulting in a smooth, glowing complexion. And if you have pigmentation and uneven skin tone, the New York Facial is perfect for you and lasts months! If you want to treat some gentle sagging, then consider the Power Facial or the KGlow Facial, which includes lifting in its effects. Get details of all facials in Delhi For Brides here.
  
• Hydration: Continue to keep the skin hydrated with light moisturizers and hydrating masks, ensuring the skin remains plump and dewy.
  
• Eye Care: If under-eye circles or puffiness are a concern, consider eye-brightening treatments to look fresh and well-rested.
  
• Body Care: Don’t ignore your body. That decolletage, the deep V of the back, the tummy and the arms are all exposed and having even-toned skin is a great asset for all brides. Consider SilkLove or DMF for evening the skin, or Revive Laser Toning for pigmented body areas, and WonderBOD, Transform and Lymphastim for an overall toned, tight and de-bloated look! 

6. One Week Before the Wedding: Final Prep

• BLISS or Elixir Hydrafacial or CloudSkin: For a quick, glowing pick-me-up, a top-up facial will add that final touch to your glowing skin.  BLISS is great for brides to depollute and brighten the skin with collagen boosting, the Elixir works for any remaining congestion and dryness, and Cloudskin adds that dewy shiny glow!
  
• Quick Body Touchup : A SilkLove body brightening treatment will solve any remaining tanning and keep that skin on your body even for any makeup application.
  
• Isya’s Bridal Beauty 7 Day BootCamp:  This 7 day program covers every concern from your head to your toes to get you wedding ready. Call Isya to learn more!
  
• Minimal Makeup: Keep your skincare simple. Apply a lightweight moisturizer, sunscreen, and a vitamin C serum before your makeup. Hydrated, healthy skin will make your makeup look flawless.
