Preparing your skin for a special event
We all want our skin to look and feel it’s best. But there’s no time it’s more important than when you’re attending a special event.
Whether you’re a bride to be or celebrating a special occasion, we want you to look and feel your best. That’s why building a solid skin care routine and treatment plan is integral to having you glowing for the big day.
We know there are many elements to planning out a big day, so we answered some of the most common questions we receive below about preparing your skin for a special event:
When should you start visiting your skin clinic?
We recommend booking in at least 6 months prior to the ‘big day’ for great results. For the best results, book in 12 months prior to build out a perfectly tailored regime.
What products should I use in my skin routine? What treatments should I book in for?
The truth is, there’s no single answer to this. Every person's skin is different. From sensitive skin to acne prone, it’s important for us to have a consultation with you to identify your skin's needs.
That said however, some of the key treatments that we believe are truly beneficial in the lead up to a special event include:
Heal Lite: Healite is an LED Light Therapy treatment that works to improve circulation and boost natural collagen production. Since it helps your skin to heal faster, it's a great add-on to a treatment like a peel, microdermabrasion, or IPL, but it is also fantastic in a stand alone course of 12 sessions over 6 weeks.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation: This treatment targets a range of common skin concerns, including pigmentation, freckles, broken capillaries as well as boosting collagen stores. Using a specialised laser, we deliver intense pulsed light deep within the dermis. Pigmentation absorbs the light, and is subsequently shattered due to the intense energy. Broken capillaries are sealed off and new collagen is stimulated, helping to boost skin firmness and reduce pore size.
What if I can’t commit to a long term treatment routine? What treatments will give my skin a boost?
An oxygen facial!
Regenerate and boost the health of every skin cell with pure medical grade oxygen.
Our Oxygen Facial works to regenerate and boost the health of every skin cell. Enhanced with essential vitamins and minerals, this treatment is designed to cleanse, nourish and revitalise your skin so you'll leave glowing.
What treatments are suitable to book in for a few days before the event?
We recommend a Lavish Signature facial between 2-3 days before the event, to soothe and hydrate the skin. This will leave you radiant and glowing for the big day, without causing any unnecessary irritation.
What should I be doing at home to maintain my skin between treatments?
We recommend maintaining your skin health with a personally tailored skincare routine. Creating a custom morning and evening regime will upkeep the benefits of your treatment and ensure your skin is getting optimum benefits.
