9 - 12 MONTHS BEFORE: Skin There is no better time than in the lead up to your wedding to incorporate a good skin care routine. With so many different brands, products, and advice on the market it can be difficult to know where to start. A consultation is key in starting this journey. At Dr Yusra clinic, her team of experts don’t just ask what you are using currently, they look at your medical history, discuss nutrition and assess the health of your skin, thereby advising you on a holistic plan from makeup to treatments. Dr Yusra recommends starting your skin transformation 9-12 months before the big day to allow time for your skin to acclimatise to new products and to maximise your skin health and glow.
changing transformations. Dr Yusra says “Pre-wedding skincare plans often start 9-12 months before the wedding, where we have plenty of time to really maximise our patients glow. We offer scientifically backed prescription skincare that is clinically proven to improve collagen density and radiance, and we offer prescription treatments for those who suffer with their skin health and appearance of acne, scarring, rosacea, pigmentation, or fine lines and wrinkles through sun damage or ageing. One of the best pore busting treatments is Secret Pro by Cutera, a combination treatment that uses microneedling radiofrequency and CO2 laser to create a smooth and beautiful canvas whilst also tightening the skin, improve pores, resurface the skin to reduce lines around the face, eyes and mouth and for improved collagen density as well as an FDA approved treatment for scarring. This treatment sends heat energy to the collagen forming fibroblasts through tiny microchannels in the skin created from the microneedles. The result is new collagen, reduced lines, and a smoother brighter tighter complexion. It can be used around the eyes, face and neck and is hugely popular with our patients. It can also be used on stretch marks on the body to diminish their appearance.”
