Groom Wedding-Ready: Top Skin and Hair Treatments for Men

Gone are the days when wedding prep was only for the bride! Today’s modern groom wants to look and feel his best walking down the aisle. Whether it’s refreshing tired skin, smoothing out frown lines, or boosting hair growth, many discreet, effective treatments can help you show up confidently on your big day.
At MD Skin Lab, a leading Toronto medical clinic, we offer a curated menu of non-invasive treatments specifically designed to elevate your grooming game without making you look overdone. Here’s your ultimate wedding prep guide for grooms—featuring the most in-demand treatments to help you look refreshed, energized, and photo-ready! Let’s get right into it.
Microneedling: For Smooth, Even Skin Tone
If your skin’s feeling rough, dull, or uneven, microneedling is a fantastic place to start. Using SkinPen technology, this treatment creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your skin’s natural repair process, leading to increased collagen production, smoother texture, and a brighter complexion.
Why it’s great for grooms:
-
Softens acne scars and enlarged pores
-
Even out skin tone and texture
-
Improves firmness over time
-
Minimal downtime (a few days of redness)
When to book: 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, ideally starting at least 6 months before the wedding. You can book your appointment right here.
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling: For Firming and Jawline Definition
Looking to tighten sagging skin or define your jawline before the big day? Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, targeting the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and tighten tissue. This is especially popular among grooms seeking a sharper profile or a firmer lower face, without undergoing invasive treatments.
Why it’s an excellent option for grooms:
-
Lifts and firms sagging skin
-
Enhances the jawline and under-chin area
-
Improves skin texture and tone
-
Long-lasting collagen stimulation
When to book: 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Final results peak around 3–6 months after the last treatment. Book your Morpheus8 RF Microneedling treatment here.
Hair PRP/Exosomes: For Fuller, Healthier Hair
Many grooms experience hair thinning or a receding hairline in their 20s or 30s. Whether it’s a widening part, patchy beard growth, or overall thinning, now’s the time to address it. At MD Skin Lab, we offer two leading-edge options for non-surgical hair restoration: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma and Exosome Therapy for Hair Restoration.
PRP uses your own blood’s growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles, encouraging new growth, reducing shedding, and thickening existing strands. It’s a safe, natural, and effective treatment with no foreign substances involved, making it ideal for grooms who want results without downtime.
Exosomes, on the other hand, are cutting-edge regenerative messengers derived from stem cells. They deliver high concentrations of growth factors, peptides, and antioxidants directly to the scalp, offering more rapid and amplified results than PRP alone. For patients who want to accelerate their hair restoration or who haven’t responded to PRP in the past, exosomes can be a powerful alternative or complement.
Why PRP and Exosomes Are Perfect for Pre-Wedding Prep:
-
Stimulate natural hair growth
-
Strengthen and thicken existing strands
-
Reduce hair shedding
-
No surgery, no downtime
-
Suitable for all hair types and ethnicities
-
Exosomes can offer faster, more noticeable results with fewer sessions
When to book your PRP or Exosomes treatments: 3–4 sessions, spaced one month apart. Start 6–12 months before the wedding. Book your appointment here.
Botox: For a Refreshed, Well-Rested Look
You don’t need to change your face to look great in photos, but a little Botox can go a long way in helping you look more rested and confident. Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, softening expression lines like:
-
Forehead creases
-
Frown lines between the brows
-
Crow’s feet (especially in outdoor weddings with squinting!)
At MD Skin Lab, all injections are performed by physician injectors who understand facial balance, ensuring your results look natural, never frozen.
Why grooms love it:
-
Quick, 10-minute treatment
-
No downtime
-
Results appear within 5–10 days and last 3–4 months
-
Helps prevent lines from deepening in the future
When to book: About 4-6 weeks before the wedding, with a touch-up (if needed) around 2 weeks before. You can book your appointment with MD Skin Lab here.
Dermal Fillers: For Undereye Hollows, Jawline, or Smile Lines
Fillers aren’t just for lips. When done by a skilled injector, dermal fillers can enhance masculine features, restore volume, and correct tired-looking areas like:
-
Undereye hollows (for a more awake appearance)
-
Smile lines or nasolabial folds
-
Cheeks or chin for balance and structure
-
Jawline for sharper definition
We use both hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and Radiesse, depending on your goals and skin type (which is discussed during your consultation). Our physician injectors prioritize subtle enhancements that make you look like the best version of yourself!
Why it’s ideal for grooms:
-
Immediate results with minimal downtime
-
Long-lasting (6–18 months)
-
Masculine contouring without looking "done"
-
Confidence boost before photos and events
When to book: 6–8 weeks before the big day to allow for settling and refinement. Book your Dermal Fillers appointment here.

AviClear for Acne-Prone Skin
If breakouts tend to appear at the worst times, AviClear is a Health Canada–approved laser treatment for acne that targets oil glands and reduces flare-ups in the long term. Great for men who want a clean, clear look on their wedding day and beyond.
When to start: 9–12 months before the wedding, depending on skin needs. You can book an appointment here.
Last But Not Least, Medical-Grade Skincare
At MD Skin Lab, we always recommend grooms start using medical-grade skincare products at least a few months before the big day. Unlike drugstore products, medical-grade skincare is formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients, backed by clinical research, and designed to actually improve skin function. And luckily, we have our very own Skin Store!
What we recommend for grooms:
-
Gentle cleanser to remove oil and impurities without stripping the skin
-
Vitamin C serum to brighten and protect against environmental stress
-
Medical-grade moisturizer to keep skin hydrated and smooth
-
Retinol or retinoid (if needed) to refine skin texture and minimize pores
-
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)—non-negotiable for protecting your investment
Not sure where to start? During your consultation, our team can create a customized skincare plan tailored to your skin type, concerns, and wedding timeline. Whether you’re dealing with acne, dullness, redness, or just want a glow-up, we’ll make it easy to stay consistent.
