In the lead-up to important events (such as an engagement party, bridal shower or wedding), some people like a structured plan to help support the visible appearance of their skin.

For suitable individuals, we can build a simple, realistic timeline that focuses on skin quality, tone and texture while prioritising barrier health and safety.

No specific outcome can be guaranteed.

Bride Guide

Our approach

  • After taking a medical history and assessing your skin, your practitioner may discuss:

    • Timeline mapping – planning appointments over several weeks or months with buffer time before key dates

    • Gentle, non-invasive options (for example, LED phototherapy, selected light resurfacing treatments, hydrating facials and home-routine coaching) where clinically appropriate

    • Event-safe spacing and, for more reactive or sensitive skin, patch testing or gradual introduction of new products and procedures

    Plans are tailored to your skin, schedule and priorities, and may include the option of not performing certain procedures close to your main event date.

What it may help with

For appropriate candidates, an event-focused skin plan may be aimed at supporting the appearance of:

  • Dull-looking or uneven tone

  • Visible surface texture that can show through makeup

  • Redness-prone or easily-irritated skin

Any change in appearance, and how noticeable it is, differs from person to person.

What to expect

A Bride Guide-style plan typically includes:

  • A clear schedule of any recommended in-clinic visits and home-care steps

  • Built-in buffer periods before major events to reduce the chance of visible downtime close to the day

  • Simple, sustainable home-care recommendations aligned with your skin type and tolerance

  • Periodic check-ins or reviews, where appropriate, to adjust the plan if your skin response or circumstances change

The extent of any visible change varies between individuals and cannot be predicted with certainty.

Safety, risks & aftercare

All cosmetic and medical procedures carry risks. Before any treatment, your practitioner will:

  • Explain potential benefits, limitations and alternatives (including not having treatment)

  • Discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications

  • Provide written aftercare instructions tailored to the specific treatments used

  • Where possible, many people choose to start planning around 3–6 months before a key event so that treatments can be spaced out with buffer time. Shorter timelines may still be possible, but options can be more limited and expectations will be discussed so you can make an informed decision.

  • Depending on your skin and medical history, options might include gentle, non-invasive approaches such as LED phototherapy, certain light resurfacing treatments, hydrating facials and guidance on home skincare. Treatments are selected and timed to help reduce the likelihood of prolonged downtime, but no approach is completely risk-free.

  • It can be, but suitability is assessed individually. For more sensitive or reactive skin, your practitioner may introduce changes gradually, use patch testing where appropriate and stage any in-clinic treatments conservatively. In some cases, very reactive skin may be best managed with a simplified routine and/or referral to a dermatologist.

  • For unexpected breakouts close to an event, options are more limited and must be approached cautiously to avoid worsening irritation. Low-irritation supportive care and, in some cases, LED may be considered, but how much improvement is possible in a short timeframe varies and cannot be guaranteed. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations at review.

  • Some people find that when their skin barrier is supported and well-hydrated, makeup can sit more evenly; however, this is influenced by many factors (including makeup products, application technique and your baseline skin condition). Any change in how makeup looks or feels will differ between individuals and cannot be promised.

  • Yes, in some cases areas such as the neck, hands or upper back can be incorporated into the plan, with timing adjusted to support recovery before events. Your practitioner will advise which areas are appropriate to treat, and how far in advance, based on your skin, clothing choices and schedule.
