Top five cosmetic tweaks for budding brides: Botox What it does: Reduces the appearance of expression lines by relaxing facial muscles. Consider it if: Youre concerned about lines between your brows, on your forehead or across the nose. Fine print: The decision should be well considered and under the care of a reputable and experienced injector. Timing: Do this at least one month out from your wedding, especially if its your first time. IPL Flawless skin is high on a brides priority list. What it does: IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is a non-invasive treatment using high intensity pulses of visible light to improve the appearance of certain skin conditions. Consider it if: You are bothered by age spots, sunspots, freckling, pigmentation, neck and chest sun damage. Fine print: IPL is not as effective in treating severe facial redness compared with other more selective vascular lasers. Lash extensions What it does: Lash extensions provide a fuller, longer yet natural extension to your everyday eyelashes. They are popular for brides because they show up well in photos and last into their honeymoon (approximately two weeks). Consider it if: You dont want to deal with fake-looking temporary lashes on your wedding day or you have short lashes. Fine print: Lash extensions vary from acrylic to silk to Siberian mink to different degrees of thickness and curl. They are low in maintenance, requiring a brush once a day. Timing: A full set takes an hour to apply and is best applied a few days before your wedding. Infusion facials What it does: Therapeutic-grade oxygen, Hyaluronic Acid and specialised active serums come together to deliver a facial infusion that treats, lifts and plumps the skin. Consider it if: You want something more effective than a facial and less invasive than a procedure. Fine print: There are four kinds of infusions: Rejuvenate for hydration, Opulence for brightening, Atoxelene for fine lines, and Clarity for blemishes. Timing: You can either take a six-week course with weekly infusions or have a single infusion the day before. Teeth whitening What it does: Teeth whitening brightens your teeth in one relatively simple, non-invasive, comfortable procedure. Consider it if: Your teeth are discoloured and it bothers you. Fine print: There are many ways to achieve brighter teeth so its important to chat to your dentist about your needs. Most brides prefer teeth whitening, composite resin bonding or porcelain veneers but the mouth must be healthy and functional for any aesthetic work to last.
