Local experts reveal all Q&A Beauty PRE-WEDDING PREP Meet the expert: Healthium Clinics is a private medical centre specialising in the latest innovative technologies to optimise health and wellbeing. Rosanne Joseph-Anthony is the founder, clinical director and aesthetic nurse practitioner. How can I prepare my skin for my wedding day and which treatments should I consider? Rosanne says: Prescription skin peels can effectively address any skin concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, and pigmentation. By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, skin peels reveal smoother, youthful skin underneath. For optimal results, it’s best to start these treatments at least one month before the wedding, allowing time for your skin to recover and the results to become visible. Microneedling is an innovative, non-invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production to improve skin elasticity and texture. This treatment encourages the skin to heal itself, resulting in a plumper, smoother complexion. To achieve the best results, plan your microneedling session one to two months before your wedding day, giving your skin ample time to heal and reveal a rejuvenated glow. Healthium Clinics also offers cutting-edge treatments like Jet Peels and Radio Frequency (RF) therapy. The Jet Peel uses a pressurised jet of air and liquid to exfoliate the skin while simultaneously infusing it with nourishing serums. This non-invasive treatment hydrates and improves skin texture, and enhances circulation, leading to a visibly brighter and healthier complexion. A few weeks before the wedding is the ideal time to have a Jet Peel session to ensure your skin is plump and radiant. RF therapy uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, resulting in a firmer appearance. It’s particularly effective for targeting areas where sagging may occur, enhancing the contours of your face. We recommend incorporating RF treatments into your skincare regime around one month before the wedding for optimal results. To maximise the benefits of these treatments, it’s essential to establish a skincare routine well before your wedding day. Ideally, you should start regular facials at least three months before the event. This gives you time to undergo a series of treatments that progressively improve your skin’s health. In addition to facials, staying hydrated and using moisturisers suited to your skin type is crucial. Post-treatment, avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants for a few days and always apply sunscreen to protect your skin. https://healthiumclinics.com www.instagram.com/healthiumclinics www.facebook.com/people/Healthium-Clinics/61555448033464 AWARD-WINNING BEAUTY Meet the expert: Liz Evans founded Witney-based Liz Evans Beauty, a multi-award-winning salon providing high-quality skincare and treatments.
