Looking your Best for your Wedding

By Anne Fennell


With wedding season approaching, many couples are in the final planning stages of this important life event. Everyone endeavours to look their very best for this milestone moment. Hundreds of dollars is sometimes spent by both women and men on beauty products and skincare treatments, in the run-up to their wedding.

During the stressful few months before a wedding, a facial or a back massage is the perfect way to relax. All the planning can get extremely hectic, but you can soon unwind by going to a spa or getting your nails done. But, consider another option that is growing in popularity in the wedding scene. To look their best, more and more brides and grooms to-be are turning to Botox. There is a lot of pressure to impress at a wedding; you want to feel great in your skin, especially as the photographs will be with you forever.

How long before your wedding should you wait before having Botox?

The Botox injections should be done one month before the big day, at least. Make sure you have a test-run done; if you have never had it before it is understandable that you may feel a little nervous, even though Botox treatment is quick and safe. We advise you to have it done at least a month before though, because it can take about 7-14 days to see the full effects after the initial treatment.

Also, you should avoid alcohol, facial massages and extreme changes in temperature such as steam rooms and sauna's for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure- so take this into account when arranging your wedding activities like stags and stagettes.

Botox injections are relatively painless but you might find that you experience slight tenderness and mild pain during the injection. There may be some minor swelling immediately after the injection; but after about 30 minutes this normally settles. It is relatively uncommon to experience slight bruising the day after, but this is another reason why advance treatment is recommended.

Botox is usually a good treatment for the wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, and frown lines. Your facial expressions may show how you are overwhelmed with emotions during the big day. If you have any unwanted horizontal lines across your forehead, or frown lines in the area between your eyebrows, or crow's feet in the outer corner of the eyes and you want to get rid of them for your wedding, you can with the help of Botox.

Also popular as preparation for a wedding or other significant occasion is an excessive sweating treatment called hyperhidrosis. Sometimes, in response to hot temperatures, stress or emotion, people sweat excessively, so this could be a concern for a momentous event like your wedding.

Make sure, if you are are considering Botox and are engaged to marry, that you have it at least one month prior to give enough response time for your muscles, and to get the benefit of the full effect.
