Preparing your skin before any special occasions, including but not limited to pre-holiday prep or a wedding, is crucial as it helps you achieve a radiant, healthy, and flawless complexion and increases confidence. But do remember, it’s important to start prepping your skin well in advance of the specific day to allow time for any necessary treatments or adjustments to your skincare routine. 

A consultation with a CSW Regenerative Skin Therapist is the perfect opportunity to discuss your goals, concerns, and the most appropriate facial treatments for your skin type and condition. This can help you avoid pointless, or worse, incorrect skin care choices, and ensures you receive personalised guidance based on your specific needs, concerns and skin type, taking into account timeframe, lifestyle and budget. 

When planning your course of facial treatments, you may need to allow time for multiple sessions and importantly, ensure that your skin has time to adjust and reap the benefits and look its very best for the photos and videos that will form a large part of your memories to be treasured in the years to come. 

In order to offer best results, we may recommend a facial treatment program, this would include personalised in-clinic treatments and home-care products to achieve optimal results in the lead up to your special occasion. This can offer many benefits that contribute to achieving healthier, glowing skin. 

Advantages of facial treatment programs include:

1. Consistency and Long-Term Results: Facial treatments are most effective when done regularly over a period of time. By opting for a prepaid membership, you commit to a series of treatments leading up to your special occasion. Consistency allows for longer-lasting results, as each treatment builds upon the previous one, improving the overall condition of your skin.
   
2. Adaptable programs for cumulative results: When you visit us for regular appointments, we can ensure your skin goals are on track. If, for example, stress rears its head and your skin throws a wobbly , we can gently and efficiently guide you back on target for your goals.
   
3. Customised Skincare Plan: Prepaid memberships will include personalised consultations where we assess your skin’s needs and create a tailored plan of recommended specific treatments and products that address your concerns, helping you achieve optimal results for your skin type and condition.
   
4. Targeted Skincare Solutions: Facial treatments can target specific skincare concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, scarring or uneven texture. Memberships provide an opportunity to address these concerns systematically through a series of treatments, giving your skin the attention it needs to improve and prepare for your special occasion.
   
5. Enhanced Skin Health: Regular facial treatments will improve the overall health of your skin by promoting circulation, boosting collagen production, and increasing cell turnover. This can result in a smoother, more hydrated, and radiant complexion, providing the perfect base for a long lasting makeup application.
   
6. Stress Relief and Relaxation: Planning a special occasion can be stressful, and having help with planning your skin glow can reduce that stress. The tranquil environment, gentle touch, and soothing, effective cosmedical grade products used during the treatments can help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being, leaving you refreshed and revitalised.
   
7. Cost Savings: Memberships come with discounted rates or special offers compared to individual treatment prices. By purchasing a membership, you can potentially save money while still receiving high-quality skincare services.

How a pre wedding/special occasion skin plan may look:

Six months prior to occasion

Stage 1.

Initial consultation to discuss skin concerns and goals and plan a suitable timeline.

Introduction to skin home-care:

A cleanser that not only cleanses, but respects the microbiome of the skin and protects against environmental and internal stress.

Skin support in the form of a hydrating serum. What is not quite so well known is that your skin requires hydration throughout its layers, allowing all cells of your skin to function optimally and enhance results of everything else applied to your skin. Mass market Hyaluronic Serums with only one molecular weight will hydrate the surface of your skin and make it look and feel better but won’t offer the same regenerative benefits as our cosmedical grade serums. 

A skin comforter to soothe, repair, normalise your skin while preparing for more intensively active cosmedical treatments and moisturisers

Stage 2.

Facial treatment, with appropriate intensity – we may recommend LED (AKA Light Therapy) a well studied and clinically verified treatment that enhances cellular metabolism, repairs and takes down signs of inflammation in the skin/body as an addition to this treatment. 

If you are concerned with crows feet or under eye bags, we may recommend an eye treatment add on and/or an eye product to use at home.

Stage 3.

Reassessment to ensure on target for skin goals, more intensive facial treatment – incorporating more potent ingredients as needed for your skin

At this stage, we may introduce more targeted in-clinic treatments. All the while with an eye on your end goal, taking into account your skin‘s response so far.

At this stage, you may need to consider introducing a gentle exfoliant at home Depending on your skin needs, we will advise you on best use techniques and frequency.

Stage 4.

Facial Treatment – depending on goals /progress, this may be a specific massage facial incorporating Lymphatic drainage and sculpting moves, or it may be micro-needling to address scarring concerns, also consider micro-needling on your hands during this treatment, especially if your hands are going to be on display or photographed.

Now that your skin has started to adjust to actives, we will likely introduce you to serums or moisturisers with more potent actives that will give your skin a pep up, with ingredients that are well studied for their regenerative effect on skin, kickstarting repair mechanisms and enhancing your skin’s own natural anti-inflammatory response. 

Stage 5.

Facial treatment where we begin to stack actives together to customise a cocktail of ingredients specific to your progress and goals.

Stage 6.

Time to glow! Your special occasion is imminent! For this stage of treatment, relaxing and de-stressing may be top of the agenda. Under our guidance, you may sink into the deep relaxation of a treatment that eases all your tight spots, frees your mind and calms your nerves all whilst benefiting from beneficial actives being infused into your skin.

When you commit to a program like the above, keeping in mind that your treatment will be totally customised to you, your skin concerns and goals and will be fitted to your specific timeline.
