- No need to go under the knife to be a confident bride
- New guide recommends best treatments for your desired look and skin type
- Indicates best times to book in treatments ahead of the big day
One of the biggest advantages of being a bride-to-be is owning the right to truly pamper yourself –but what other treatments are available beyond manicures and false lashes?
Leaders in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments, Transform, have developed an easy to use Non-Surgical Treatment Guide that allows people to uncover a range of non-cosmetic solutions, perfect for those about to tie the knot.
Men and women can use the tool to filter down to treatments specifically designed to help smooth, lift, tighten and rejuvenate problem areas – without the need for surgery. Thread veins, unwanted pockets of fat and even excessive sweating are all on the hit list.
Easy to navigate, people can browse information about treatment benefits, number of sessions required, expected recovery time, pricing and a ‘best for’ age range and skin type.
Additional seasonal icons allow patients to schedule in their treatments, many of which require multiple sessions, to ensure they’re ready for their special day.
Lines & Wrinkles
For those who have always wanted to tackle visible lines and wrinkles on the face, there are a number of options available. Those over 35 years should opt for a skin tightening treatment such as EndyMed, designed to painlessly plump and redefine the shape of your face and neck. For those younger in need of a more subtle lift, a chemical facial peels to remove any dead cells from the skin’s surface leaving it smooth, healthy and rejuvenated.
Unwanted Fat
For brides looking to slim down before the event, CoolSculpt, commonly referred to as non-surgical lipo, targets stubborn pockets of fat in areas such as the stomach, up back, lower back and thighs, perfect for those whose dresses show a little more flesh. The treatment also works for those who may have already done a great job at trimming down their waistline, but would still like the skin around these weight loss areas to appear tighter and firmer.
Sagging Skin
Ultherapy skin lifting is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. It works by bypassing the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and temperature to stimulate collagen growth. Patients can achieve younger looking skin in just one treatment and is perfect if you’re not quite ready for surgery, but want to lift and tighten the skin on your neck, chin and brow.
Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is caused by over activity in the sweat glands which can produce sweat in greater amounts than the body requires. Though not an openly talked about topic, it is something many men and women suffer from and can cause daily embarrassment, especially for those who suffer and are worried about potential nerves on their wedding day. Botox is used as an effective treatment against excessive sweating, common areas to treat include the armpits or hands. Botox is injected into sweat glands to block the nerve impulses that cause your body to sweat without affecting other nerve functions. It is recommended that patients opt for the treatment at 10 days before their special occasion to benefit from its full effects.
Excessive Hair
If you want to feel smooth and be hair free on your wedding day, it’s best to prepare as early as possible. Laser hair removal is a highly effective (and cost effective) long-term solution for unwanted body hair. Although the most common areas for the treatment is the face, legs, underarm and bikini area, the procedure can remove hair from virtually any part of the body. With hardly any recovery time, it’s something every bride should consider.
Further problem areas for brides also include skin pigmentation, acne caring, unwanted moles and vein problem, all of which there is a solution for.
Shami Thomas, from Transform comments: “Brides can often feel under extreme to pressure to look their very best on what should be the happiest day of their lives, but can often cause unnecessary added stress on top of other preparations for the big day.
It’s important that brides-to-be are aware of the many beauty treatments available that can be had months and weeks in advance ahead of the big day. Opting for such treatments can save valuable time, rather than having to schedule in time for a last minute beauty routine.”
Transform hopes the guide will cut through jargon and industry talk to help patients discover the best treatments for them based on their age and skin concerns.
Shami Thomas adds: “As with all procedures we advise anyone interested in these types of treatments to do their homework and to do as much research as they possibly can. To help with the patient journey, we’ve been working with a range of bloggers who have been reviewing our treatments and who have been detailing their experiences with Transform.
If you are thinking about indulging in any of these treatments, my advice would always be to ask your practitioner about people – who is going to be administrating the treatment, products – what’s going to be used and how, and places – where is the treatment going to take place?”
