Bridal Treatment Timeline for Wedding Glow - In a Dialogue With Your Dermatologist
Weddings bring excitement, stress, endless planning… and of course, the desire for that healthy, confident bridal glow. At The Éterne Clinic in Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, we meet many brides who whisper the same question: “Dr. Ajara, when should I start my treatments? And what should I do first?”
Instead of a long list of dos and don’ts, here’s something more fun - an actual conversation between a bride-to-be and Dr. Ajara Sayyad, Board-Certified Dermatologist and Medical Director of The Éterne Clinic.
It’s real, reassuring, medically correct, and filled with gentle guidance to help you build your ideal bridal skincare journey.
First, 6 Months Before the Wedding: Setting the Foundation
Bride: “Dr. Ajara, I know I’m starting early… is six months too much?” Dr. Ajara: “Honestly? It’s the best time. Skin thrives when we give it time to heal, correct, and glow naturally.”
- Pigmentation & Acne Treatment: “We often begin with Radianz Q-Switch ND:YAG Laser or Lumecca IPL for dark spots, tanning, or uneven tone. These work gradually.”
- Acne scars or texture concerns: “For deeper scars or rough texture, Morpheus8 RF Microneedling works beautifully - but it needs spaced sessions.”
- Skin health optimization: “We check for deficiencies, lifestyle factors, sleep, and hormonal triggers that affect glow or hair fall.”
Bride: “So this phase is about repairing?” Dr. Ajara: “Exactly. Think of it as laying the foundation for your wedding glow.”
3 Months Before the Wedding: Time to Add Glow-Boosting Treatments
Bride: “Okay, three months to go. Should I panic?” Dr. Ajara: “Not at all. This is when we shift from correction to enhancement.”
- HIFU for lifting & tightening: “Perfect for subtle jawline or cheek definition.”
- Morpheus8 final sessions: “If we started earlier, we complete the series around now.”
- Hair treatments: “If hair fall is a concern, this is ideal timing for PRP, iPRF, or exosome-based scalp sessions.”
Bride: “Will I look too different?” Dr. Ajara: “Not at The Éterne Clinic. You’ll look like yourself, just more rested and radiant.”
1 Month Before the Wedding: Glow Enhancers Begin
Bride: “One month! This feels real now.” Dr. Ajara: “Now we focus on plumping, hydration, and that lit-from-within glow.”
- Skin Boosters (Hyaluronic Acid / Polynucleotides / Exosomes): “These improve hydration, smoothness, and bounce.”
- Mild peels or polishing: “Only gentle, non-irritating treatments to avoid purging or peeling.”
- Under-eye brightening: “For dryness, dullness, or mild hollows - perfect before pre-wedding shoots.”
Bride: “Is this where the real glow comes from?” Dr. Ajara: “A big part of it - but glow is always a combination of consistency, care, and personalised treatments.”
1 Week Before the Wedding: Keep It Light, Keep It Safe
Bride: “Dr. Ajara, please tell me we’re not doing lasers now?” Dr. Ajara: “Definitely not. The last week is about calm, happy skin.”
- Hydrating facial or oxygen glow (no harsh extractions)
- LED therapy for inflammation control
- Soothing masks for plumpness
- Only zero-downtime procedures
What we avoid completely:
- New treatments
- Strong peels
- Lasers
- Aggressive exfoliation
Bride: “So it’s basically a gentle glow-up?” Dr. Ajara: “Exactly. You’ve done the hard work already; now we preserve it.”
Wedding Day Morning: The Final Touch
Bride: “Any last-minute advice for a calm, glowing morning?” Dr. Ajara:
- Keep skincare simple - cleanser, hydrating serum, moisturizer, sunscreen
- No new products
- Hydrate well
- Trust your makeup artist
- Breathe - you’ve prepared beautifully
Bride: “I feel so much more confident now.” Dr. Ajara: “That’s the goal - radiant, healthy skin that reflects your happiest day.”
