As the wedding day approaches, every bride wants to look her best. The pressure to have glowing, clear skin is intense, and with so many skin care treatments available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. The Hydrafacial has gained popularity, but is it really worth it for brides who want flawless skin on their big day? Let’s break down the benefits and considerations.
What is a Hydrafacial?
Dr. Amit Bangiya, Associate Director – Dermatologist at Asian Hospital, explains: “Hydrafacial is a popular non-invasive treatment that uses hydrodermabrasion technology to cleanse and hydrate your skin in less than 60 minutes.” This treatment uses specialized equipment to deliver serums and antioxidants to the skin while removing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells.
“It addresses many skin concerns, including acne, dehydration, uneven skin texture, and aging,” Banja continues. The treatment consists of four main steps: cleansing, peeling, moisturizing the skin and applying a serum that makes the skin fresh and radiant.
Can a Hydrafacial change your wedding day look?
One of the main reasons brides choose the Hydrafacial is its ability to instantly improve the appearance of the skin. This can be especially helpful for brides looking to enhance their skin’s natural glow before their wedding day. Bangia further adds, “HydraFacial is recognized for delivering the best skin of your life with benefits such as reduced pore size, lightening of scars and reduction of wrinkles and fine lines.”
Unlike other treatments that may require days of recovery, the Hydrafacial requires virtually no downtime. “The treatment is a popular alternative for people looking for a quick and easy solution to lighten their skin. There is no downtime after that, making it a great choice for those with busy schedules,” says Bangia.
It’s the right time to do it
Dr Mandeep Singh, head of plastic, dermatological and cosmetic surgery at Paras Health Gurugram, advises, “It is important to schedule the treatment at least 7-10 days before the wedding to allow the skin to settle down, as mild redness or sensitivity may occur temporarily after the procedure. » He also recommends consulting a licensed professional and avoiding the treatment if you have active skin infections, rosacea, or severe acne, as it can make those conditions worse. What’s more, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a proper skin care regimen, including sunscreen and gentle moisturizers, to prolong the effects of the treatment.
Dr. Amit Bangiya further suggests, “For someone getting married, a Hydrafacial can be a great option, but ideally try it about 6 months before the wedding. This gives you enough time to see how your skin reacts. The last Hydrafacial should be scheduled at least 1-2 weeks before the wedding so your skin looks radiant without potential redness or irritation.”
