Bridal Skin, Made Possible: One Real Bride’s Journey to Glow
~ By Megan, our Bridal Skincare Specialist
When our bride, Alexandra, walked into our clinic just four months before her wedding with a clear goal: she wanted to feel confident in her skin on her big day — both with and without makeup.
Her main concerns were active breakouts, scarring and texture, and she’d never quite found a skincare routine that worked for her long-term.
She didn’t just want a short-term fix — she wanted real results that would last beyond her wedding.
Consultation & Skincare Prescription
During her initial consultation, we analysed her skin and created a tailored bridal skincare plan. Her in-clinic and at-home routine was built to target:
Inflammation & breakouts
Textural irregularities
Post-inflammatory scarring
Hydration and radiance for makeup application
At home, we started her on Obagi Tretinoin 0.5 and Obagi Pore Therapy, two powerful but dermatologist-backed products that target congestion, speed up cell turnover, and refine skin texture. These were used consistently alongside her in-clinic treatments.
In-Clinic Treatments: What We Did
BioRePeel (Week 1)
We began with a BioRePeel, a no-downtime chemical peel that kickstarts skin regeneration and improves clarity without major shedding — ideal for brides on a timeline.
SkinPen® Microneedling (Over 8 Weeks)
We then moved into a course of SkinPen® Precision microneedling — our hero treatment for:
Reducing acne scarring
Smoothing uneven texture
Encouraging collagen production
She booked in for three SkinPen treatments, spaced over 4-5 weeks. Each session helped gradually smooth and resurface her skin. She later added extra SkinPen sessions, wanting to push her results even further — and it absolutely paid off.
Mini HydroFacial + Ultrasound (Wedding Week)
In the final week, we focused on hydration and glow. She had a Mini HydroFacial with ultrasound, which floods the skin with moisture, calms any irritation, and ensures a glass-skin finish — perfect for photography and makeup application.
Finishing Touches: Lips by Sara
To complement her glowing complexion, she also had her lips subtly enhanced by Sara — a natural, soft volume boost that looked beautiful both in person and on camera.
The Results
“The difference in my skin is crazy. I’m so happy I’ve invested in the treatments I needed — I finally feel confident in my own skin.”
Her before-and-after photos speak for themselves. She walked down the aisle glowing, confident, and radiant, with makeup sitting beautifully on her refined, hydrated skin.
She’s now continuing her journey post-wedding — because loving your skin shouldn’t stop at “I do.”
