FAQs
How late can I have a facial?
We recommend your final facial 24–48 hours before the day without extractions; schedule peels or stronger treatments earlier.
I have sensitive or acne-prone skin — can I still do this?
Yes. We tailor exfoliation strength, avoid triggers, and use LED to calm. A longer runway usually gives the best result.
What if I don’t have 3 months?
Book our Express 2-Week Bridal Glow: consultation plus two facials with LED, and a simple at-home routine to support results.
Can you include neck, décolletage or hands?
Absolutely. We can add neck and décolletage, and include a back peel for open-back dresses.
