THE RX: MGMD'S BLOG

Bernadette is getting ready for her daughter's wedding in June.

We developed a 6 month treatment plan to prepare for her big day as MOB!

You are invited to follow her journey on instagram @mgmdderm

Here is an overview of options we considered when planning Bernadette's treatment timeline for her special day.  We recommend a consultation with Dr. Grodberg about 1 year before a big event to identify your individual goals and map out a customized plan. 

 6 Months Before the Wedding

• Address uneven pigmentation with a resurfacing laser such as Fraxel, Clear and Brilliant or IPL.  These devices can also be used for the chest, back and arms (think strapless gown)

•   Address skin laxity and sagging with Radiofrequency - Exilis Ultra, Microneedling with Radiofrequency, or Hyperdilute Sculptra (works well for crepey skin on arms -- think sleeveless dress)

• Plan schedule for Botox or Daxxify neuromodulator and try any new areas well before the event so you can decide if it’s the look you want for the big day-- think lip augmentation, Nefertiti neck lift with Botox, even fillers for sagging earlobes if you want those special earrings to sit just right.

• Don’t forget to start and maintain a targeted topical skincare regimen to enhance results of procedures

4 Months Before the Wedding 

• Consider monthly Hydrafacial, lasergenesis or microneedling - these gentle procedures keep the skin in top shape and are most beneficial when done in a series

3 Months Before the Wedding

• Try Skinvive - a new micro droplet hyaluronic acid designed to hydrate from within to promote smooth radiant skin

1-2 Months Before the Wedding 

• Filler and Botox - Address volume loss, fine lines, facial balancing, subtle lip augmentation

1 Week Before the Wedding

• Get your final Hydrafacial ideally with a hydrating booster
• Stop exfoliating products that could cause irritation on the BIG DAY

DAY of the Wedding

• Relax and Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
