Med Spa Timeline Before Wedding Day

Your wedding day is one of the most photographed and memorable moments of your life—and feeling your most confident, radiant, and refreshed is essential. At Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness in Point Loma, I help brides (and grooms!) achieve a natural, glowing look that reflects their inner joy.

As a nurse practitioner and founder, I’ve seen how intentional preparation can make all the difference. Beauty shouldn’t be stressful—it should be a process that feels supportive, personal, and empowering. Here’s your complete med spa timeline before the wedding, designed to help you plan your treatments for the most seamless, confident walk down the aisle.

6–12 Months Before: Start with a Consultation

The best results begin with a personalized plan. Around six to twelve months before your wedding, schedule your initial aesthetic consultation. During this visit, we’ll discuss your skin concerns, goals, and ideal outcomes—whether you’re looking for smoother skin, more defined features, or an overall rejuvenated glow.

This is also the time to:

• Assess long-term goals such as collagen stimulation and volume restoration.

• Map out treatments like biostimulators (Sculptra or Radiesse), PRP, or microneedling for skin health and longevity.

• Create a holistic skincare plan with professional products tailored to your skin type.

• 
  

I always tell my brides: Consistency is where the magic happens. Beautiful, natural results take time—and your wedding deserves that thoughtful approach.

4–6 Months Before: Build the Foundation

This phase focuses on creating the smooth, firm, and hydrated skin base that will make your makeup look flawless.

Microneedling & PRP Treatments

Microneedling and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen and improving texture, tone, and elasticity. If you have concerns like acne scars, fine lines, or dullness, this is the perfect time to start a series of treatments for noticeable improvement before your big day.

Biostimulators for Natural Volume

Biostimulators like Sculptra or Radiesse work gradually, rebuilding collagen to restore volume and firmness. Because results develop over several months, it’s ideal to begin them early for subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation.

3–4 Months Before: Focus on Definition and Contour

Now that your skin foundation is healthy and glowing, it’s time to refine and balance your features.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can softly enhance areas like the cheeks, chin, jawline, or lips for harmonious, camera-ready definition. When placed strategically, fillers don’t change how you look—they reveal the best version of you.

If you’re considering lip filler, this is the perfect window. It allows time for swelling to subside and adjustments if needed.

Chemical Peels

A VI Peel or Cosmelan treatment can dramatically brighten the skin, improve tone, and smooth uneven texture. Starting your peel treatments three to four months before ensures full healing and optimal radiance for the wedding week.

6–8 Weeks Before: Perfect Your Glow

This is the ideal window for maintenance and refining.

Wrinkle Relaxers (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Jeuveau)

Relaxers should be done at least six weeks before your wedding to allow full results to develop and any touch-ups to be completed well before photos.These treatments help smooth fine lines around the forehead, eyes, and mouth—so you can express joy without worrying about creases.

Hydration & Skin Nourishment

A custom facial, gentle exfoliation, or light microneedling can refresh the complexion and keep skin smooth.I recommend avoiding any new or aggressive treatments at this point. Stick with what we know works beautifully for your skin.

3–4 Weeks Before: Final Touches

This stage is about fine-tuning and self-care.

PDO Threads (Optional)

If you’re seeking a subtle lift for areas like the jawline or cheeks, PDO thread lifts can enhance your facial contour naturally. Results peak within a few weeks, making this an ideal time if you’d like that extra boost.

PRP Undereye Treatment

The delicate under-eye area benefits greatly from PRP, which helps reduce hollowness and dark circles. Doing this about a month before your wedding ensures a fresh, rested appearance.

Body & Wellness Support

To support energy and focus during the busy pre-wedding season, many clients love B12 or Lipotropic MIC+B12 injections for an extra vitality boost.

1–2 Weeks Before: Maintain and Hydrate

Avoid major treatments now—your focus should be on maintaining hydration and calm energy.

Gentle Facial or Skin Polish

A mild exfoliation or hydrating facial keeps the skin glowing and smooth for makeup. Avoid anything that could cause redness or peeling.

At-Home Skincare Routine

Continue your customized regimen, including a high-quality mineral sunscreen, hyaluronic acid serum, and antioxidants to keep your complexion bright.

The Week Of the Wedding: Confidence & Calm

By now, all the preparation pays off—you’ll have naturally luminous skin that reflects how good you feel inside.

Day Before the Wedding

• Hydrate well and rest.

• Skip alcohol or salty foods to avoid puffiness.

• Use gentle, nourishing products only.

  
  

On your wedding day, your goal is to feel confident, calm, and authentically radiant. Every smile, every moment captured, will reflect not just how beautiful you look—but how much you’ve honored yourself through the process.
