How to Get Glowing Wedding Skin

Schedule a Visit with Your Dermatologist

If you have major skin concerns like acne and uneven pigmentation, it’s best to get the situation under control well in advance. In addition, brown spots, fine lines, pores, and redness can be attended to with lasers.

You can book resurfacing treatments like Cynosure SmartSkin CO2 laser. However, because it may require multiple sessions and several months to see their cumulative benefits, “you need to start as early as possible,” explains Dr. Lubitz. This is also the right time to schedule a series of derm-administered light peels or microdermabrasion on both the face and body—especially if your dress exposes the décolleté, shoulders, back, or legs.

To determine whether laser skin resurfacing with a CO2 laser is a good option for you, we would happily offer you a complimentary consultation.

If a laser isn’t your thing, we have a range of skincare products that can tackle acne and premature aging. The Obagi Nu-Derm System (when combined with prescription Tretinoin) is clinically proven to help address the signs of aging in all skin types.

In a study of the Nu-Derm System with Tretinoin, at week 24:

• 96% of patients showed an improvement in dark spots and discolouration
• 100% of patients reported it was “more effective” or “much more effective” than other medications they had tried
• 96% of patients were no longer very embarrassed or very self-conscious about their skin

Dr. Lubitz and his staff have over 15 years of experience successfully utilizing Obagi Skin Products with their patients.

 “Shrink” Your Pores With Microneedling

We want to give it to you straight, so first, the bad news: You can’t change the size of your pores. “The deeper a pore is, the bigger it looks on the skin’s surface,” says Dr. Lubitz. The good news: You can minimize the depth of your pores to make them seem smaller. “Microneedling, glycolic acid and other chemical peels will exfoliate layers of bad skin and minimize pore surface,” Dr. Lubitz says.

Typically a series of 3 – 6 treatments is recommended depending upon your area of correction and concern. Treatments are usually spaced in 4-week intervals. Patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, prominent stretch marks, and significant scarring usually require 6 or more treatments to achieve their desired results.
