When to start: 6–18 months before the wedding
If you’re wondering when to start laser hair removal before a wedding, earlier is always better to ensure smooth, lasting results. Treatments are spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, and a series of treatments is needed for optimal reduction. You can schedule a laser hair removal appointment as close as 2 weeks pre-wedding, but for results you can enjoy on your honeymoon, it’s best to start your treatment plan early.
Our most popular pre-wedding laser hair removal areas include brazilian, bikini line, underarms, manzilian, and legs. Because sun exposure should be avoided before and after each session, starting early allows you to stay consistent and avoid seasonal interruptions.
One of our experienced providers can help you create a personalized treatment plan during a complimentary consultation.
When to start: 6–12 months before the wedding
Advanced skin treatments are ideal for addressing skin concerns like sun damage, redness, acne scars, uneven tone, skin laxity, and fine lines. These treatments are often recommended as part of a pre-wedding skincare timeline to improve overall skin clarity and texture.
At Aesthetica, we customize your treatment plan based on your skin type, goals, and timeline. Starting 6–12 months in advance allows for proper healing and ensures your results look smooth, even, and natural by the time your event arrives.
When to start: 6+ months before the wedding
Microneedling is one of the most popular pre-wedding treatments for improving skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. As one of the most-researched skincare treatments, it works by stimulating collagen production.
If you’re planning microneedling before your wedding, spacing treatments properly is key for achieving that natural, healthy glow. For best results, we typically recommend a series of at least three treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Starting early ensures your skin has time to respond, leaving it smoother, more refined, and visibly refreshed.

Many patients ask when to get filler before a wedding. Allowing some time prior to your wedding allows for the product to settle naturally, give us time to make adjustments if needed, and add final touch ups if needed.
Facial balancing with dermal filler enhances natural features by restoring volume, improving symmetry, and refining contours. Whether you’re looking to subtly enhance your lips or define your jawline, thoughtful placement makes all the difference.
Scheduling filler well in advance allows time for any swelling to fully resolve and gives you the option to refine your results if needed. The goal is a soft, balanced look that photographs beautifully from every angle.

If you’re new: start 6–12 months before for a trial
Neurotoxins, like Botox and Dysport, are common treatments for wedding prep because they help soften fine lines while maintaining natural expression.
For wedding timing, we recommend your final appointment be scheduled about 4–6 weeks before the event. This allows time for results to settle and for any small touch-ups if needed.
If you’ve never had Botox before, starting earlier gives you the opportunity to see how your body responds and ensure you love your results. To avoid any potential bruising or swelling, it’s best not to schedule injections within two weeks of your wedding.
When to schedule: 3–6 months before, then as needed leading up to the wedding
Many patients wonder what the best facial to get pre-wedding is. DiamondGlow is one of the most popular skin treatments to get before a wedding or event because it delivers immediate, visible results. This treatment deeply exfoliates, clears pores, and infuses the skin with targeted serums for hydration and brightness.
Scheduling your first treatment 3–6 months out helps improve overall skin quality, while treatments closer to the event enhances that smooth, radiant glow right before photos. Your provider at Aesthetica can help create a customized treatment plan during a free consultation to make sure you’re glowing on your special day!
Final Weeks: What to Do (and What to Avoid)
2–3 weeks before:
Keep treatments simple and predictable. A DiamondGlow can help boost hydration and radiance without downtime. Many patients add-on a dermaplane to their DiamondGlow treatment to help makeup apply more smoothly by removing the top layer of peach fuzz and dead skin. Stick to your regular skincare routine and avoid introducing anything new.
1 week before:
Focus on maintenance. Prioritize hydration, sleep, and consistency. Avoid aggressive treatments like peels, lasers, or anything that could cause irritation or unexpected reactions. Many patients enjoy getting a DiamondGlow the week of their wedding to stay hydrated and glowing!
