Preparing for your special day!
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and naturally, you want your skin to look luminous, flawless, and photo-ready. Achieving this glow takes more than just last-minute facials—it requires a strategic approach using professional dermal therapy and high-performance skincare. At Erin Aesthetics, we offer advanced treatments and cosmeceutical products tailored to enhance your skin’s health and appearance well before the big day.
This guide outlines everything you need to know about pre-bridal skin preparation, from timelines to treatment options and expert tips.
The Importance of Planning Ahead
Beautiful skin is not created overnight. Ideally, brides should begin their skincare journey 6 to 12 months in advance to allow time for skin regeneration and to address deeper concerns like acne scarring, pigmentation, or textural irregularities. Planning ahead ensures that advanced treatments can be performed safely and spaced appropriately for optimal results.
The Role of a Dermal Therapist
At Erin Aesthetics, our highly trained dermal therapists provide evidence-based treatments that go beyond superficial beauty. A personalised skin consultation is the first step in your journey, allowing us to assess your skin type, understand your goals, and curate a bespoke plan using clinically proven modalities and products.
Skin Consultation and Analysis
Your bridal skincare plan begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we evaluate your skin’s current condition and determine the most effective course of treatment. This allows us to address concerns such as congestion, sensitivity, pigmentation, or premature ageing with precision and care.
our go to treatments to leave you glowing on your SPECIAL day
HydraFacial with Dermaplaning Add-On
For an immediate glow, HydraFacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin—making it a favourite among brides. When combined with dermaplaning, this treatment removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs, enhancing product absorption and makeup application. It’s the perfect treatment to book in the final weeks before your wedding for that dewy, polished finish.
Aquagold
This luxury micro-infusion treatment uses 24k gold needles to deliver a tailored blend of microbotox, hyaluronic acid, and skin-nourishing serums directly into the dermis. It visibly refines pores, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall skin tone and texture. Results are noticeable within 7–14 days—making Aquagold an ideal option 3-4 weeks out from the wedding.

Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy involves the injection of active ingredients such as vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid into the skin to boost hydration, firmness, and radiance. At Erin Aesthetics, we offer add-ons like Exosomes and Calecim Stem Cell Therapy to elevate results further, enhancing skin renewal and cellular communication.
Cosmeceutical Facials
Our performance-based facials, such as the Age Element Facial, target specific concerns including ageing, pigmentation, and dehydration. With high concentrations of active ingredients and no downtime, these facials can be incorporated monthly in the lead-up to your big day.
LED Light Therapy
LED therapy is a gentle yet powerful treatment that accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen production. Suitable for all skin types, it complements other treatments and is particularly effective in managing stress-related breakouts or sensitivity during the lead-up to the wedding.
The Power of Preparation: Why Starting Early Matters
Why Start Early? Lasting Results:
While pre-wedding glow-ups are important, achieving truly transformative skin takes time. Regular treatments such as, skin needling and chemical peels - commenced several months out - stimulate collagen production, refine skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and promote healthy cell turnover. This commitment to ongoing skin health delivers cumulative results that no one-off treatment can match. At Erin Aesthetics, we believe the best bridal skin is the result of consistency and preparation—invest early, and your skin will thank you on the big day.
At Erin Aesthetics we offer packages to reward your commitment to achieving your desired results, making consistent treatment more attainable.

Advanced Modalities for Brides with Specific Skin Concerns
For brides requiring a more intensive transformation, advanced skin therapies can deliver long-lasting results when started early—ideally 6 to 9 months before the event.
Tixel Skin Rejuvenation
Tixel is a non-laser fractional treatment that stimulates collagen, smooths texture, and reduces pigmentation with minimal downtime. It is ideal for those seeking overall rejuvenation or treating stubborn skin concerns without aggressive peels or ablative lasers.
Exion RF Microneedling & Genius RF
These state-of-the-art radiofrequency microneedling systems remodel the skin at a deep level. They are particularly effective for treating acne scarring, fine lines, skin laxity, and enlarged pores. These treatments require recovery time but provide dramatic, long-term improvements in skin tone and firmness.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) & Vampire Facial
PRP harnesses your body’s own healing factors by using plasma rich in platelets to stimulate skin renewal and repair. This can be performed as a standalone treatment or added to microneedling, Exion/Genius, or Tixel sessions for enhanced collagen synthesis and accelerated recovery. Known as the Vampire Facial, this regenerative treatment is a powerful tool in the bridal skin prep toolkit.
Note: These advanced modalities require detailed consultation and scheduling well in advance to allow for healing, follow-up appointments and time to allow the treatment to take effect.
