How to Prep Your Skin From Head-to-Toe for Your Wedding
Planning a wedding is an exciting, but often overwhelming, experience for many people. From finding the venue of your dreams, to choosing the perfect wedding dress, there’s no shortage of decisions to make before your big day.
While pre-wedding chaos can be fun, it's essential to prioritize self care so you look and feel your absolute best when you walk down the aisle. If you find yourself needing some extra TLC before your wedding for any reason, medical spas are the oasis you’ve been searching for!
Medical spas offer a unique opportunity to prepare for your wedding while simultaneously indulging in luxurious pampering. In this article, we’ll discuss how medical spa services can elevate your wedding prep journey and leave you glowing with confidence on your special day!
Book an appointment at Urban You, Michigan’s #1 medical spa, to experience any of the services discussed in this article as well as a free Wellness Consultation and access to medical-grade skincare. Our expert staff would love to help you reach your skin goals before your wedding day!
Begin with a Wellness Consultation
Medical spa treatments are noninvasive and typically require little to no downtime, but they are a commitment nonetheless. Some services, like CoolSculpting and Botox, take a certain amount of time to develop before results become visible. Others, like chemical peels, require time for the skin to recover before you can wear makeup or endure sun exposure.
At Urban You, we highly recommend scheduling a complimentary Wellness Consultation before moving forward with any of our services, especially if it's your first experience with something like Botox or Juvéderm. At a Wellness Consult, one of our expert providers will thoroughly discuss your needs and skin goals, tailoring a customized treatment plan specifically for you! You’ll discuss your skincare concerns, desired outcomes, and the timeline leading up to your treatment (and wedding). This step ensures that the services you choose align with your expectations and allows for any necessary adjustments along the way!
Medical spas offer a wide range of services meant to enhance just about any part of the body you desire. From fuller lips, to a toned abdomen, to smooth skin, med spas have it all. Here are some of our favorite services that will help you feel and look your very best on your wedding day!
Radiant Skin: Microneedling, Medical-Grade Facials, MOXI Laser
Every bride wishes to have flawless, radiant skin on her wedding day. Medical spas offer a range of advanced skincare treatments designed to address various concerns. Treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, and MOXI laser treatments can help rejuvenate your skin, minimize imperfections, and improve overall texture. These services each offer unique benefits that will contribute to your wedding day glow!
The Moxi is a gentle laser treatment designed to treat signs of aging and other skin conditions on the face and neck. Moxi can help improve the texture, tone, and firmness of the skin. It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage!
Microneedling is a safe cosmetic procedure that encourages skin cell turnover, so you can start the next chapter of your life with fresh, radiant skin. While its name may sound intimidating, microneedling is noninvasive and takes as little as 10 minutes per area.
Banish Unwanted Hair with Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted hair can be a source of concern for many brides-to-be. Medical spas provide long-lasting hair removal solutions with safe BBL lasers. The desired result from laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions and a slightly larger time frame than something such as Russian Lips with filler.
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair from the body. During the procedure, the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, which absorbs the energy. This process damages the follicle, which inhibits future hair growth from occurring.
Laser ensures smooth, hair-free skin that lasts beyond your wedding day, so you feel confident in any attire without the hassle of regular shaving or waxing!
Enhance Facial Features: Botox, Juvéderm, Dermal Fillers
Your wedding day is the perfect occasion to enhance your natural beauty. In fact, “no makeup” makeup is one of the largest 2023 wedding trends according to Allure! Medical spa services offer various treatments to highlight your facial features, creating a flawless base that doesn’t need much makeup to look glamorous.
Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based injectables like Juvéderm, can add volume and plumpness to areas like the lips, cheeks, and under-eyes. Botox can help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, providing a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
Botox is an FDA approved treatment for reducing the appearance of wrinkles in many areas of the face that are susceptible to signs of aging. Botox’s main ingredient is botulinum toxin A, which temporarily stops movement in the muscles it’s injected into. This releases tension and provides relief, but is most commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead, neck, and crow’s feet areas. It generally takes about 7 days for Botox to take full effect and it lasts anywhere from 3-6 months.
Dermal fillers like Juvéderm, on the other hand, contain Hyaluronic Acid as the main ingredient in their formula. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediately noticeable volume to treated areas. Juvéderm offers many varieties and formulas specifically designed for different areas of the face, including lips, jawline, cheeks, neck, and forehead.

Relieve Stress with Spa Therapies and Facials
Preparing for a wedding can be stressful, both physically and emotionally. Take a break from the hectic planning and indulge in the relaxation provided by medical spa therapies. Treat yourself to a soothing massage, a rejuvenating Hydrafacial, or a stress-relieving body treatment. These therapies not only enhance your overall well-being, but also allow you to unwind and enjoy some much-needed self-care during this busy time!
Get Your Dream Body Without Working Out with CoolSculpting
We all have insecurities – love handles, a double chin, bra fat, the list goes on. Having excess fat on the torso, face, arms, and legs is normal, but there’s no shame in wanting it gone by the time your wedding day rolls around. Exercise and strict dieting are time consuming and taxing, two things you shouldn’t have to worry about when it comes to preparing for the day you’ve been looking forward to your whole life!
CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical, FDA approved, noninvasive procedure that diminishes fat cells by freezing and ridding your body of them. Treatment sessions take 45-60 minutes each, with little to no downtime after you’re done. The most common side effects are minor redness and swelling, but most people are able to resume normal daily activities immediately following treatment! CoolSculpting is FDA approved to treat 9 common areas of concern:
- Double chin - Abdomen - Love handles
- Bra fat - Upper arms - Outer thigh
- Banana roll - Inner thigh - Underneath buttocks
