Botox for your Wedding?

By Anne Fennell


With wedding season approaching, many couples are in the final planning stages of this important life event. Everyone endeavours to look their very best for this milestone moment. Some men and women spend hundreds of dollars in the run-up to their wedding on beauty products and skincare treatments.

Getting a facial or a back massage is the perfect way to relax during the stressful few months before a wedding. All the planning can get extremely hectic, but you can soon unwind by going to a spa or getting your nails done. In the wedding scene, another option is growing in popularity. More and more brides and groom-to-be's are turning to Botox to look their best. Making a good impression at the wedding is important; it is important that you feel confident in your skin, because the pictures are going to stay with you for the rest of your life.

How much in advance of the wedding is the best timing for getting Botox?

At least one month before the big day, you should have the Botox injections. Make sure you have a test-run done; if you have never had it before it is understandable that you may feel a little nervous, even though Botox treatment is quick and safe. After the initial treatment, it takes up to one or two weeks to see the full effects, so that is why the advice is to do it one month prior to the big day.

Also, you should avoid alcohol, facial massages and extreme changes in temperature such as steam rooms and sauna's for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure- so take this into account when arranging your wedding activities like stags and stagettes.

Botox injections are relatively painless but you might find that you experience slight tenderness and mild pain during the injection. Immediately after the injection, there may be some minor swelling; this usually settles down in about half an hour though. It is relatively uncommon to experience slight bruising the day after, but this is another reason why advance treatment is recommended.

Botox is usually a good treatment for the wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, and frown lines. During the big day, you may find yourself overwhelmed with emotions and this may be evident in your facial expressions. Before your wedding, Botox can help you get rid of any unwanted horizontal lines across your forehead, frown lines between your eyebrows, or crows feet in the outer corner of the eyes.

Hyperhidrosis treatment, also known as excessive sweating treatment, is another treatment which is becoming popular to have before a wedding or other significant occasion. Some people are prone to excessive sweating in response to hot temperatures, stress or emotion which is more likely to be a problem on an important occasion such as your wedding.

Make sure, if you are are considering Botox and are engaged to marry, that you have it at least one month prior to give enough response time for your muscles, and to get the benefit of the full effect.
