October 29, 2025

At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group, we’ve helped countless brides and grooms, including our 2 nurses, Charissa & Taran, prepare for their big day with customized treatment plans that deliver natural, confident results.
The secret? Starting early, planning smart, and choosing treatments that let your best self shine through. Whether you’re dreaming of luminous skin, a defined jawline, sculpted abs or arms or just feeling your absolute best in your dress or suit, a little prep goes a long way. Here’s your insider’s guide to building your perfect pre-wedding beauty timeline, straight from our experts (and two of our own nurses who recently walked down the aisle!)
9 Months Before “I Do”: Start With a Plan
The first step in any great beauty journey is a personalized consultation. This is where we sit down and map out your timeline, your skin goals, and your comfort level with different treatments.
Starting early gives us room to customize — whether that’s improving skin texture, planning a body contouring series, or exploring injectables. Think of it as your roadmap to wedding-day confidence.
6–9 Months Out: Lay the Foundation for Radiant Skin
This is the sweet spot for your more transformative treatments, the ones that help create lasting change from within.
Morpheus8 (RF Microneedling): Ideal for firming and tightening areas like the face, neck, or décolletage. The collagen boost keeps working for months, so your skin just keeps getting better.
BBL (BroadBand Light): The gold standard for evening out pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. By starting now, your skin has time to fully settle and glow evenly by the big day.
These early sessions help your complexion transform gradually, you’ll look refreshed, not “done.”
3–6 Months Out: Smooth, Sculpt, and Refine
Now it’s time to focus on texture, tone, and definition.
SkinPen with PRP: Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma is a game-changer for anyone wanting smoother, brighter, more even skin. Multiple sessions can dramatically improve fine lines and scarring, and give you that healthy, photo-ready glow.
MicroLaser Peel: For silky, even skin that makeup glides over effortlessly. It gently resurfaces to reduce imperfections and boost radiance.
EvolveX Body Contouring: Whether you’re refining your arms, abs, or thighs, this non-invasive body sculpting treatment tones and tightens with zero downtime, perfect for strapless dresses or slim-fit suits.
1–3 Months Out: Perfect the Details
FThis is when we fine-tune your look, subtle enhancements that make all the difference.
Botox or Dysport: Start at least three months before the wedding to smooth lines and give us time to adjust for your ideal, natural result.
Dermal Fillers: Enhance or restore volume to areas like the lips, cheeks, or jawline. Planning early means swelling and bruising settle long before your close-ups.This stage is all about balance, looking fresh and polished without losing what makes you you.
1 Month Before: Polish and Glow
Now’s the time for your finishing touches.
SkinPen with PRP (Final Session): Two weeks after your last session, your skin reaches peak radiance, smooth, hydrated, and luminous.
Last BBL or Hydration Treatment: These help lock in that glow and even out tone so your skin looks flawless in every photo.
Avoid anything too new or invasive, at this point, you’re maintaining, not experimenting.
Real Wedding Prep Stories From Our PPSG Nurses
Taran and Charissa, two of our PPSG nurses, recently tied the knot themselves, and they shared how their pre-wedding beauty routines helped them feel confident and radiant on their big days.
Taran started her journey about six months before the wedding with Morpheus8 Body and EvolveX treatments for her upper arms. “I’ve always been self-conscious about that area,” she admits, “and the difference was incredible; my arms looked toned and smooth in photos.” She also used laser resurfacing to keep her skin texture even and healthy. “By the time the ceremony came around, I felt completely comfortable in my short-sleeved dress,” she says. “It was such a confidence boost, knowing I didn’t have to worry about any problem areas.”
Charissa focused on her complexion, making BBL and NanoLaser Peel her must-have treatments. “They evened out my skin tone and made my makeup go on beautifully,” she recalls. In the months leading up to the wedding, she added SkinPen microneedling with PRP at three, two, and one month out. “Those sessions really transformed my skin, my texture improved and it had this hydrated, dewy glow that looked amazing in photos,” she says. Charissa also chose a small amount of lip filler to add natural volume and hydration. “Just enough to make my smile pop, but it still felt like me,” she laughs.
Both nurses emphasize the importance of planning early. “Start early,” Taran advises. “Give yourself the time to plan, tweak, and enjoy the process, even small adjustments can make a big difference when everything is timed right.” Charissa agrees: “Don’t leave it to the last minute. It really helps reduce stress, and you get to enjoy the whole experience. By the time the wedding day comes, you feel calm, confident, and ready to shine.”
Their stories show that with careful planning, the right treatments, and a little time, every bride (and groom) can feel effortlessly radiant, and truly enjoy their wedding day without worrying about last-minute beauty details.
