Everyone wants to look their best on the big day, but what about mom? There is never any shortage of excitement when it comes to weddings, but for some people there's an added pressure that they have put themselves under. The MOB’s and MOG’s come into our office a few months before the big day looking bright-eyed and bushy tailed because they all want the same thing: To look and feel their best at their son or daughters wedding!
Latisse

Latisse is a simple and safe way to create show-stopping eyelashes, as long as it is used as directed and under your provider's supervision. Fun fact: batting amazingly long eyelashes will make sure that the bartender never let’s that wedding beverage go empty.
Botox & Dysport
We may not be able to talk the bride out of her extravagant requests or calm down the groom’s bachelor party, but we can erase the lines that these have added to your skin. Botox and Dysport works wonders around those pesky lines between the forehead. It also works magic for forehead lines when you’re questioning Uncle Ron’s dance moves. Let’s consider relaxing these “tell everything you’re thinking lines” before the wedding, so regardless of what’s going on inside, you can look as calm and cool as a cucumber on the outside! Botox and Dysport takes 5 days to be effective following injection, and touch ups may be needed 2 weeks after. For that reason we recommend having Botox or Dysport injected at least 4 weeks before your big day so any adjustments can happen in time!
Fillers
Fillers are a great way to make your skin look and feel refreshed for any big occasion. They can give you that youthful glow we all want, especially when it comes time for a wedding! Fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are another effective and safe way to refresh your face for the wedding day. As we age, we lose volume and elasticity in our skin, which leads to parentheses around the mouth, smaller lips, and drooping mouth corners. The right dermal filler can make all the difference in restoring your lost volume and making you look years younger. Fillers are an incredible option for under eye bags, nasolabial folds, and the border of the mouth as we lose definition in our lips. Fillers are also used to give the lips an extra boost and perfect pout. Fillers generally last 1 year, side effects include bruising which goes away after 1-2 weeks so we recommend having your injections at least 3 weeks before big events or photo sessions.
Brightening & Lightening Treatments
There is no place for polka dots at a wedding and that includes on your face. Hyperpigmentation that emerges over time as a sign of sun damage, and while they are not dangerous or even worrisome in most cases- it's just annoying. The wedding day should be a time for celebration, not self-consciousness. Luckily there are treatments available to lighten dark spots and make your skin look vibrant again! The topical treatments include hydroquinone, azeleic acid and kojic acid based creams. These take time to work, and are best started at least 6 months before the wedding.
For a quicker and often more effective fix, IPL or photofacials can virtually erase your brown spots in 3-5 sessions. Aim to have these completed 1 month before the wedding for optimal results!
Chemical peels are another option and can be used to treat blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. It prompts deep exfoliation of the face which improves tone as well as texture and collagen production in order to make your complexion look healthier than ever before!
Kybella
Kybella is a revolutionary treatment for eliminating fat under the chin. Most patients require two to four Kybella treatments, and most women see results after six months of use! For mothers who want an anti-aging or glamorous look at their daughter’s wedding--it's recommended that they have this procedure done six to nine months before to allow for optimal results in time for picturesque day!
Get Toning
Three-six months is a nice time period in which to form healthy habits and routines. Non invasive body sculpting such as Emsculpt NEO along with diet and exercise can help get your body there! This includes the arms, legs and the stomach areas. If these areas are feeling strong and toned, then it's likely you are going to be walking that little bit taller and prouder.

Emsella is a revolutionary breakthrough treatment for incontinence and pelvic floor strengthening. It's an easy option whether you're male or female and any age can benefit from this non-invasive solution for urinary incontinence.

Emsella utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control. A single Emsella session brings thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions, which are extremely important in muscle re-education of incontinent patients. All this is done without any effort on your part and without getting undressed. This means less trips to the bathroom trying to undo that gorgeous dress, dancing the night away and laughing your heart out without worry on this memorable day.
