Planning a wedding is exciting—but it can also be stressful, and your skin can feel the effects. Whether you’re the bride, in the wedding party, or just want to look your absolute best, professional medspa treatments can help you glow naturally on your big day.
At CLEO Skin + Laser, we work with brides all over Minneapolis (and beyond!) to build custom skincare timelines so you look radiant, confident, and camera-ready. Here’s our guide to the best medspa treatments to consider before you walk down the aisle.
✨ 1. Laser Hair Removal for Silky Smooth Skin
If you want to skip shaving on your honeymoon—or avoid bumps and irritation in your wedding dress—laser hair removal is a popular choice.
At CLEO, we use ND:YAG and Pico lasers, which safely reduce hair growth over time, even on sensitive areas like underarms or bikini line.
When to start: Ideally 6–9 months before the wedding, since multiple sessions spaced weeks apart are needed for best results.
🌟 2. RF Microneedling for Smoother Texture & Firmness
Many brides worry about skin texture, fine lines, or mild acne scarring. RF Microneedling uses tiny needles combined with radiofrequency energy to boost collagen and tighten the skin naturally.
Benefits:
- Improves texture and firmness
- Minimizes pores
- Subtle lifting effect, especially around jawline & cheeks
When to start: At least 3–4 months before the wedding to allow time for collagen to rebuild and for any redness to fade.
đź’ˇ 3. Photofacials to Brighten & Even Tone
Photofacials (IPL) help target redness, freckles, and brown spots—perfect if you spent time in the Minnesota sun or have uneven pigmentation.
Benefits:
- Clearer, brighter complexion
- More even skin tone under makeup
- Minimal downtime
When to start: Begin treatments about 3–4 months out; most brides do a series of sessions for best results.
🧖♀️ 4. Pre-Wedding Laser Facials for a Natural Glow
A gentle laser facial the week before your wedding can refresh tired skin, reduce mild redness, and add radiance—without peeling or flaking.
At CLEO, our signature laser facials are quick, comfortable, and safe for a range of skin types.
đź“… 5. Plan Ahead: Your Bridal Beauty Timeline
- 6–9 months out: Start laser hair removal, RF microneedling if needed, or begin your skincare plan
- 3–4 months out: Start photofacials, finish microneedling series, adjust skincare as needed
- 2–4 weeks out: Gentle laser facial or hydrating facial for glow
- Week of wedding: Focus on hydration, sleep, and light skincare—avoid anything new or harsh
