The Bridal Treatment Timeline: What to Book and When

Your wedding day is one of the most photographed and memorable moments of your life. And while the dress, makeup, and hair matter, there’s something truly unmatched about radiant, healthy skin that glows from within!

At MD Skin Lab, a trusted Toronto medical clinic, we specialize in wedding-ready transformations using science-backed treatments that elevate your natural beauty. From skin prep and sculpting to smoothing fine lines and addressing stubborn concerns, we’re here to help you look and feel your best, on the big day and beyond.

Here’s your ultimate pre-wedding treatment guide, built just for brides.

Morpheus8 RF Microneedling: Tighten, Sculpt & Glow

If you’re looking for that red-carpet glow with tighter, firmer skin, Morpheus8 is the perfect option. This treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the tissue.

It’s ideal for lifting the jawline, smoothing fine lines, reducing pore size, and giving you a naturally filtered look without makeup.

Why brides love it:

  • Tightens skin and defines facial contours

  • Reduces fine lines, acne scars, and texture

  • Leaves skin smooth, glowy, and more youthful

  • Non-surgical, minimal downtime

When to book: 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Final results typically peak 3–6 months post-treatment, so it is recommended to start at least 6–9 months in advance. Book your appointment here.

Microneedling with SkinPen: Smooth & Refine

If your main concerns are dullness, acne scarring, or uneven texture, Microneedling with SkinPen is a gentle yet powerful treatment that resurfaces the skin and promotes collagen growth.

We love pairing it with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or Exosomes to accelerate healing and boost glow. Think of it as a reset for your complexion.

Why it works:

  • Softens fine lines and acne scars

  • Improves texture, pores, and skin tone

  • Enhances natural radiance

  • Boosts results when combined with exosomes or PRP

When to book: 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. You’ll want to complete your final session at least 6 weeks before the wedding. You can book your Microneedling appointment here.

Botox: For a Soft, Refreshed Look

You don’t need to freeze your face—but a little botox can go a long way in softening frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases before your big day.

At MD Skin Lab, all neuromodulators (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Nuceiva®) are administered by physician injectors for natural-looking results. The goal is always to preserve your expression, not erase it!

Botox can help with:

When to book: 4–6 weeks before the wedding, with a possible touch-up 2 weeks out. Book your Botox appointment right here.

Dermal Fillers: Contour & Subtle Enhancement

Want to enhance your natural features just a touch? Dermal fillers can be used to restore volume, contour the cheeks or jawline, or smooth smile lines and undereye hollows that make you look tired.

Our clinic offers both HA fillers and Radiesse®, a biostimulator that offers long-term skin improvement.

  • Cheek contouring or smile line softening

  • Jawline and chin definition

  • Non surgical nose job

When to book: 6–8 weeks before the big day to allow for full settling and optional refinements. We invite you to book your Dermal Fillers appointment here.

PRP & Exosomes for Hair & Skin Health

If you’re dealing with thinning hair, brittle strands, or even scalp issues before the wedding, Hair PRP or Exosome therapy can help restore fullness and scalp health.

For the skin, PRP microneedling, or microneedling with Exosomes, can enhance the glow, reduce inflammation, and support rapid healing—perfect for brides who want to achieve results that go beyond the surface level.

Why brides love regenerative treatments:

  • Stimulate collagen, elastin, and hair growth

  • Restore bounce and glow in both skin and scalp

  • Improve healing post-treatment

  • Natural and non-invasive

When to book: Hair PRP/Exosomes: Start 9–12 months out. PRP/Exosomes for skin: 3 sessions, up to 1 month out. You can book your PRP or Exosomes appointment here.

Chemical Peels: Reset Your Skin Gently

A light or medium-depth chemical peel can be a powerful reset for brides dealing with pigmentation, breakouts, or dull skin.

We use professional-grade peels to exfoliate dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, leaving you with brighter, smoother skin.

When to book: Lighter peels can be done 2–3 weeks before the wedding. For medium-depth peels, plan at least 6 weeks ahead. Book your appointment here.

Fat Dissolving Injections: For Chin & Jawline Contour

If you're bothered by a double chin or want a more defined jawline for your wedding day, Fat Dissolving Injections (like Belkyra®/Kybella®) can be an effective, non-surgical option. These injections use deoxycholic acid to permanently break down fat cells in targeted areas, most commonly under the chin.

At MD Skin Lab, a physician injector will assess your problem areas and recommend a personalized treatment plan that’s both safe and subtle.

Why brides choose fat dissolving injections:

  • Non-surgical and permanent fat reduction 

  • Helps define the chin and jawline

  • Boosts profile confidence in photos

  • Can complement Morpheus8 or dermal fillers for even better contouring

Important to note:

  • Best results are seen after 3–6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart

  • Swelling is common, especially after the first session

  • You’ll want to complete your final session at least 2–3 months before the wedding

You can book your Fat Dissolving Injections treatment right here.

Laser Hair Removal: Smooth Skin That Lasts Beyond the Honeymoon

If you're tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with ingrown hairs, Laser Hair Removal is a pre-wedding essential, especially for areas like the underarms, legs, bikini line, or face.

At MD Skin Lab, we use DiolazeXL, an advanced laser system that’s both powerful and safe for most skin tones. It targets the hair follicle directly, reducing and eventually stopping regrowth with a series of treatments.

Why it’s perfect for brides:

  • Long-term reduction in unwanted hair

  • No more shaving bumps or stubble for your big day

  • Smooth, soft skin for your honeymoon and beyond

  • Pairs well with spray tans or makeup prep

When to book:

  • For best results, start 6–8 months before the wedding

  • You'll typically need 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart

  • It can also be used to define the hairline or treat facial areas with precision

You can book your Laser Hair Removal treatment right here.

Popular areas for brides:

  • Underarms

  • Bikini/Brazilian

  • Legs

  • Chin/jawline or upper lip

  • Arms or back

Laser hair removal is a long-term investment in your confidence, and one of the best gifts you can give yourself before your big day.

AviClear: For Acne-Prone Brides

If stress or hormones are causing breakouts leading up to the big day, AviClear may be the game-changer. It’s a Health Canada–approved, drug-free laser treatment that targets the root of acne by reducing oil production at the source.

This is ideal for brides who want clear, blemish-free skin without the need for prescriptions. 

When to book: Typically done in 3 sessions over 3 months—start early for best results. Book your AviClear appointment here.

Hydraglow Facial: Your Final Pre-Wedding Polish

One of the most loved treatments at MD Skin Lab, our Hydraglow or Hydraglow Dermaplaning Facial is the perfect pre-wedding pick-me-up.

This multi-step facial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates, and infuses the skin with antioxidants, leaving your complexion soft, dewy, and makeup-ready.

When to book: 5–7 days before your wedding day for the ultimate glow. Book your appointment here.

Skincare Products: Your At-Home Glow Routine

Professional treatments are only half the equation. To keep your skin radiant and balanced, a solid at-home skincare routine using medical-grade products is a must.

We recommend a bridal routine that includes:

  • A gentle cleanser to maintain a clear base

  • Vitamin C serum to brighten and protect

  • Moisturizer with peptides or ceramides

  • Sunscreen (SPF 30+), daily

  • Retinol (if suitable) to refine and smooth skin texture

Our team can tailor a regimen to suit your specific skin type, goals, and timeline. Think of it as your bridal skincare insurance policy. Browse our Skin Store or ask us during your next visit to build your kit.
