Achieve Your Perfect Wedding Day Glow: A Comprehensive Skin Guide

👰 We have the pleasure and honour of getting so many brides ready for their big day at The Medished! This practice is built on referrals for which we are really grateful! We aim to make all our brides look and feel fantastic, so if you are planning a wedding feel free to get in touch.

Each brides treatment plan is bespoke to their needs - it ALWAYS starts with skin-health (and that’s all you may need!) so they can achieve glowing skin on their big day. We tend to plan appointments 6/9 months before to ensure everything is pitch perfect on the big day! Having said that, we have got brides-to-be ready in just a few weeks too:)

If we are adding in some injectable tweak-ments we only advise a minimalist, natural look to enhance your beauty! This may include- medical facials and peels/ skinboosters/ anti-wrinkle treatment or other meticulously planned injectables.

Now every bride dreams of having perfect, glowing skin on her wedding day. But how do you achieve that radiant bridal glow? Here's a comprehensive guide to help you get started.

Start Early

The journey to flawless wedding day skin starts months before the big day. I’d suggest starting your skincare regimen at least six/nine months in advance. This gives your skin ample time to adjust to new products and treatments. Tweak-ments such as Profhilo and Ameela are designed to enhance your skin's natural beauty. Medical grade skincare like the OBAGI-C RX system can correct signs of skin damage and can help keep your skin looking radiant and healthy.

Revitalise Your Skin

You can consider rejuvenating your skin with antiwrinkle botox, a proven method to restore your youthful glow. Botox is more than just an anti-aging remedy; it's a way to refresh and revitalise your skin, giving it a smooth, wrinkle-free appearance that radiates health and vitality. Anti-wrinkle treatmnent could be your secret weapon for looking fresh, confident, and truly stunning on your big day

The Path to Glowing Skin

Achieving that bridal glow also requires a combination of a balanced diet, regular exercise, plenty of water, and a well-curated skincare routine. Regular facials can help rejuvenate your skin and boost its natural glow. Consider treatments like Skintrinsiq facials, which are tailored to your skin's specific needs and can help address issues like dryness, dullness, or uneven skin tone.

A course of Forma facials can also be fabulous when prepping your skin for your big day! Forma facials are a non-invasive skin procedure that uses heat and radiofrequency to increase collagen production in your face, therefore lifting, tightening, and contouring your skin. We use a heated magic wand! which is rubbed up and down your face, giving the feeling like your skin is being ironed. When you’re done, your skin is visible brighter, your jaw is more defined, and overall, your face does indeed look lifted. You can have forma facials any time of the year which are great for general maintenance or for patients wanting to invest in collagen banking treatments. It too feels like a hot stone facial massage and is a firm celeb favourite!

One Month Countdown

As your wedding day approaches, it's time to intensify your skincare routine. One month before your wedding, consider treatments like light chemical peels. These treatments can help remove dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, smoother skin layer beneath. Remember to consult with a skincare professional to ensure these treatments are suitable for your skin type.

The Final Touches

As your big day approaches, consistency is key when it comes to your skincare regime. It's not the time to introduce new treatments or products, as they may react with your skin or take time to settle. Instead, stick to what you know works for you. Your skin, like you, needs to be stress-free and well-rested to look its best. Prioritise getting good sleep ( hard I know... wedding planning can be stressful!) as it not only helps you feel refreshed but also lets your skin naturally rejuvenate. Avoid unnecessary stressors and remember, your skin is a reflection of your overall wellbeing. So, keep calm, carry on with your tried and tested skincare routine, and let your natural beauty shine through on your big day.

Maintaining Your Glow

Once your wedding day has passed, it's important to continue taking care of your skin. Maintain your glow with products like theObagi Vitamin C serum, Obagi Retinal 1% and OBAGI Daily Hydro Drops, which can help keep your skin looking radiant and healthy.

Remember, everyone's skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's always best to consult with a skincare professional to create a personalised skincare regimen. With the right care and preparation, you can achieve beautiful, glowing skin for your wedding day and beyond.

So the secret to perfect wedding day skin is early preparation, a tailored skincare routine, and the right treatments. Start your journey to flawless, glowing skin with me today, and step into your wedding day with confidence:)

And finally in conclusion how utterly gorgeous does this patient of mine look. She prepped her skin with theOBAGI-C RX system and the result was....breathtakingly stunning and glowing- I’m a fangirl!

Get That Body Into Shape! Introducing...The Ultimate Medished Body Boost

Hello everyone! Following on from the The Medished Triple skin boost we are now going to talk about the newest protocol available at the Medished called 'The ultimate Medished body boost'.

This is combining some of the most effective technologies and injectables available at The Medished to really get you body confident from a wellness and aesthetic perspective.

I've created The Ultimate Medished Body Boost so you can enjoy the benefits as I know the benefits of restoring wellness through aesthetics. This protocol will help you look and more importantly, feel your best. Many patients have already benefitted from this protocol at The Medished and are really happy with the results. So what is it you may ask? Well, it involves 3 treatments which are as follows...

1. Emsculpt abdomen for core strength

2. Emsella for pelvic floor strengthening

3. Profhilo Body for abdomen skin tightening

How does the protocol work?

I would perform a full medical/lifestyle/diet consultation to see if you were a suitable candidate and discuss your body goals. You would then have a course of Emsculpt and Emsella treatments. This is your 'core to floor therapy' when usually 4/6 sessions of each treatment are performed over 2/3 weeks. At your 8-week review, I would perform an injectable Profhilo body treatment on your abdomen to help tighten and hydrate any lax skin and then another treatment at 12 weeks.

Core to floor therapy is the first preventative and corrective solution to address your entire core muscle group by improving your strength, balance, posture, and potentially, alleviate back pain! We utilise two HIFEM therapies to strengthen, firm, and tone your abdomen and pelvic floor muscles and pelvic floor dysfunction. The result is increased muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia and restoration of neuromuscular control, which can improve your strength, balance, and even incontinence.... the ultimate, non-surgical, pelvic floor treatment.

When life gets in the way, whether it's the daily grind, injury, or menopause, my patients have reported it becomes harder and harder to keep up with an exercise routine. After the age of 30, we lose about 3 to 5% of our muscle mass per decade. Only 55% of adults engage in enough physical activity to achieve health benefits. Core-to-floor therapy with Emsculpt and Emsella makes it possible for those who lead busy lives to easily keep up their core and pelvic floor strengthening. (Regular exercise is obviously advised alongside).

Is the treatment painful?

The EMSculpt® procedure feels like an intensive workout. You can lie down and relax during the treatment and chat with me:) With Emsella®, you will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the procedure. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment.

When will I start to see some results?

With EMSculpt®, you begin to feel tangible results right after the treatment. Positive results are usually reported two to four weeks after the last session and continue to improve for several weeks following the treatments.

With Emsella®, you may observe improvement after the first two sessions. The results will typically continue to improve over the next few weeks. As with any non-surgical treatment, results may vary depending on your starting point.

What is Profhilo Body?

Profhilo® is a brand we all know and love here at The Medished. We now have something very exciting from them! PROFHILO BODY is their newest injectable medical treatment available. The Profhilo Body Kit is a complete treatment for improving skin texture, creppiness, and elasticity in the body. This kit can be used in lots of areas but is particularly effective when used in the stomach area, which can lose elasticity due to ageing, pregnancy, or weight loss.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PROFHILO® BODY?

• Returns volume and firmness, and gives an overall lift.

• Stimulates elastin to reduce skin laxity and improves your skin structure.

• Stimulates 4 types of collagen growth through a bio-remodeling process.

• Hydrates your skin.

The Profhilo Body Kit encompasses in-clinic treatments, followed immediately post-procedure with a body patch to help soothe the area. Plus Profhilo body cream, a home care product, which restores tone and elasticity whilst adding deep moisture to the skin.

So far I've had only positive feedback from my patients who have undergone the core-to-floor protocol with reports that their quality of life has massively improved.

Happy patients = happy Dil. Why not book a session or consultation and see for yourself why people like you are smiling:) Enjoy wellness at The Medished... it's time to upgrade yourself forever! Contact Jamie for more information:)

Get The Glow! Introducing...The Medished Triple Skin Boost

Hello everyone! today we are going to talk about an amazing new treatment protocol exclusive to The Medished which combines some of my favourite treatments to give you incredible skin in an hour with me at The Medished. When many of my patients come in they often say how relaxed they feel in the chair and are excited for their treatment even if it involves needles!

I've created The Medished Triple Skin Boost so you can enjoy the benefits of glowing skin long after you've left my chair as I know so many of you lead crazy busy lives. Many patients have already benefitted from this protocol at The Medished and are really happy with the results. So what is it you may ask? Well, it involves 3 treatments done sequentially on the day which are as follows...

1. A Bespoke Skintrinsiq Medical Facial

2. Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

3. Profhilo

A Bespoke Skintrinsiq Medical Facial

So first I would carry out the Skintrinsiq facial. The Obagi Skintrinsiq device is backed by 30 years of scientific skincare research and development by the experts at OBAGI. Its innovative pneumatic technology gently lifts your skin to open channels into its surface layers. The Skintrinsiq device extracts impurities to deeply cleanse your skin and then infuses proven Obagi products through those open channels. When the vacuum is removed, the channels close to lock the products into your skin where they can’t be rubbed away and will continue to work after your treatment is over.

Benefits of the Obagi Skintrinsiq device include:

➡️Deeply cleanses the skin by extracting impurities.

➡️It is backed by 30 years of medical skincare expertise.

➡️It can be customized for individual skincare needs.

➡️The device allows for an optional simultaneous LED light treatment to help you reach your skincare goals.

➡️It is a relaxing, spa-like facial experience.

➡️No downtime and perfect any time of the year especially when you want to look extra fabulous!

Obagi Blue Peel Radiance

Secondly, we would move on to the peel. This is a quick yet effective chemical peel that results in visible improvements following just one application with minimal or no downtime. This superficial salicylic acid‐based facial peel exfoliates deeper layers of the skin and helps improve overall complexion. It provides tighter, smoother, brighter‐looking skin after just one treatment! The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance® offers a unique blend of acids: Salicylic Acid (20%), Glycolic Acid (1.6%), Lactic Acid (1.4%)

This treatment is ideal for those suffering with some photodamage, uneven tone, uneven texture, darker skin with pigmentary issues, and acne sufferers as it reduces oil.

Profhilo

Thirdly we would carry out a Profhilo treatment. Now Profhilo is one of my favourite treatments and is a brand we all know and love here at The Medished. Profhilo is a stabilised form of the miracle hydrating molecule hyaluronic acid. It's tissue restoration without ‘volumisation’ i.e. it's not a filler. When injected, it stimulates the skin’s natural synthesis of collagen for plumped and firmed-up skin. As we age, the skin’s ability to produce collagen decreases. Profhilo is strategically injected at key points to rejuvenate the skin’s own collagen-making abilities. This revolutionary treatment is especially effective at treating those areas prone to laxity and sagging like the cheeks neck and décolletage.

It gives you that dewy, post-facial glow – think really plump, hydrated-looking skin!

So if you want an hour to yourself ( with me wittering on!) of pure pampering for your skin, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Jamie. As always, consultation is key if you haven't had any of these treatments before.

With love,
