Options for Facial Enhancement: Botox, Fillers, and More

Facial rejuvenation encompasses a variety of treatments that can be tailored to meet your specific beauty goals:

  • Botox: Ideal for smoothing out expression lines and wrinkles, Botox is a popular choice for brides seeking a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. It's particularly effective for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles.

  • Dermal Fillers: These injectables are perfect for restoring volume to areas like the cheeks and lips or diminishing the appearance of deeper lines and creases. Fillers can create a fuller, more youthful look that photographs beautifully.

  • Non-Surgical Facelifts: Utilizing a combination of injectables, this procedure offers a temporary facelift-like effect without the downtime of surgery, perfect for brides who want a more dramatic transformation.

Achieving a Radiant Bridal Glow: Laser Treatments

Advanced laser treatments can significantly enhance your skin's appearance:

  • Laser Skin Resurfacing: This procedure can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation, revealing smoother, clearer skin.

  • Laser Photorejuvenation: Ideal for addressing issues like sun damage and uneven skin tone, this treatment promotes a radiant, even complexion.

SkinVive: The Ultimate in Facial Rejuvenation

SkinVive treatments are designed to revitalize your skin through a combination of advanced techniques:

  • These customized treatments can include deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, tailored to your skin's needs.

  • SkinVive is perfect for achieving a flawless complexion, ensuring your skin looks impeccable on your wedding day.

Tailoring Procedures to Your Wedding Timeline

Timing is key when planning pre-wedding treatments:

  • Schedule treatments like Botox or fillers several weeks before the wedding to allow for any swelling or bruising to subside and the product to settle.

  • For more intensive treatments like lasers it's recommended to plan them a few months in advance to give your skin ample time to heal and rejuvenate.

Pre and Post-Treatment Care for Optimal Results

Maximizing the benefits of facial rejuvenation treatments requires proper care:

  • Pre-Treatment: Avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase bruising. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine.

  • Post-Treatment: Follow specific aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include avoiding sun exposure, using special skincare products, and staying hydrated.


Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments in your life, and naturally, you want to look your absolute best, especially with every moment being captured in photographs. At Gilson Plastic Surgery, we understand the importance of your wedding day and are dedicated to helping you look and feel your most beautiful. With our range of facial rejuvenation treatments, we can tailor a pre-wedding plan that ensures you walk down the aisle with confidence and grace.
