Bridal Skin Prep: Why You Need to Start Early for Your Dream Wedding Glow

Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life, so naturally, you want to feel (and look) your best. But here’s the catch—great skin doesn’t happen overnight! Many treatments need time to work their magic, and if you leave it too late, we might not be able to treat you. In this blog, I break down the ultimate bridal skin prep timeline to help you achieve that fresh, glowing, “I woke up like this” skin for your big day. Plus, even though I haven’t picked my own wedding date yet (don’t judge me!), you better believe I’ll be following this plan when I do! Read on to find out when to start, what treatments to consider, and how to avoid last-minute skin stress.

Swelling after volume loss or contouring treatments is a common and normal part of the healing process. At Preserve Aesthetics Sydney, we want you to feel informed and prepared. Swelling can begin immediately, peaking within the first 48 hours, and gradually decreasing over the next two weeks, sometimes taking up to a month to fully subside. Tips to manage swelling include applying ice packs, staying hydrated, and avoiding strenuous activities. If you experience severe swelling, significant pain, or signs of infection, please contact us immediately. Your comfort and confidence are our top priorities, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
