As your big day approaches, it’s essential to feel like the most confident and radiant version of yourself. At the Swan Center in Atlanta, we are here to meet your unique skincare needs as a bride-to-be! Whether you want to finally address dark spots or acne, or you are simply looking to enhance your already gorgeous canvas, our team of experienced estheticians and expert injectors are prepared to advise you on the optimal treatment to meet your goals. 

Below, we discuss our favorite non-surgical treatments and how to get the timing right before showers, the bachelorette trip, and the big day itself.

Facial treatments for brides

Our treatments are specially tailored to your skin concerns, offering solutions to everything from acne to fine lines. Here are some of our favorite treatments for brides-to-be:

Botox-type injectables (neurotoxins)

Botox, Dysport, and other neuromodulators are injected into muscles (usually on the upper face  around the eyes, forehead, and eyebrows) to pause nerve signals and soften the wrinkles that come from dynamic facial expressions. These treatments are quick, nearly painless, and require no downtime, making them perfect for busy brides! 

If you are able, it is ideal to establish a treatment regimen (every 3-4 months) with your injector well in advance to fine-tune your results and make sure you are happy with them for your big day. Schedule your final pre-wedding Botox injections at least 2 weeks in advance to allow ample time for any bruising to subside.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers (you’ve probably heard of Restylane or Juvéderm®) are designed to restore volume, reduce the appearance of lines, and enhance features such as cheeks and lips. Dermal fillers can cause some temporary swelling or bruising, so it’s best to schedule this treatment at least 1 month prior to your wedding. This allows plenty of time for any minor side effects to subside, as well as to adjust your results if needed. That said, if you have never tried fillers before, start as much as a year before your nuptials to give yourself time to try different options and fully refine your look.

Microneedling & RF microneedling

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, dramatically reduces acne scars and fine lines while improving skin texture and imparting a noticeable glow. If you want to see a big change, starting treatments six months in advance yields the most transformative results. RF microneedling uses radiofrequency to double up on the skin tightening transformation of microneedling, and does not always require repeat treatments.

As your skin will need time to heal and generate new collagen, schedule your last microneedling treatment at least 1 month before your wedding. If you’re planning a series of treatments for optimal results, start 3-6 months in advance and space each session about a month apart.

Chemical peels

Chemical peels are much less scary than they sound! We apply a custom solution containing ingredients like glycolic acid in high concentrations, then gently wash it away after a certain amount of time. This can smooth your skin out while improving any lines or wrinkles and promoting a nice, even skin texture. Peels can also help with dark spots or hyperpigmentation. To see full results, we recommend starting a series of at least 3 peels beginning a little over 12 weeks before your wedding day.

Hydrafacial

For a “your skin but better” look—especially if you struggle with breakouts!—start monthly Hydrafacials several months before the big day. These gentle facials can be customized with LED light and active ingredients, but every Hydrafacial uses a water vortex to extract pores and create a glowing complexion. You’ll see an instant glow after your Hydrafacial, so you may even consider a treatment the day before engagement photos or the wedding itself!

Whether you are the bride, a bridesmaid, or a proud mother-of-the-bride or -groom, our treatments and services are designed to enhance your natural beauty.

Broadband light therapy

If your wedding skin goal is more balanced tone and color, broadband light (BBL) therapy addresses acne discoloration, sun damage, signs of aging, redness, and freckles! Start BBL treatments at least 4 months before events so that you can plan for 3 to 5 treatments, spaced about 3 weeks apart.

Body contouring medspa treatments

Injectable butt lift

At our medspa, we are huge fans of a totally non-surgical injectable butt lift with Sculptra, a long-lasting dermal filler that is a less invasive alternative to a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery. With zero downtime, our injectors can sculpt improved projection, more volume, and more shapely buttocks to help you fill out your white dress with natural-looking hourglass curves. Your booty grows over time after this treatment, so it’s best to start at least 6 months prior to your wedding day. Results last 2 years or more!

Vaginal rejuvenation with O-Shot and ThermiVa

For a bride, confidence on her wedding day is paramount! Vaginal rejuvenation focuses on the appearance and function of the vagina and vulva, helping to enhance sexual satisfaction or to address issues with laxity, dryness, and urinary incontinence. 

Our ThermiVa technology uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat tissues without discomfort or downtime. This treatment promotes collagen production and tightens the skin over the course of about 3 sessions spaced across 12 weeks. For full effects before the wedding day, begin your rejuvenation journey several months before the date! We also offer the O-shot to double down on results; it can be safely paired with other treatments or used alone.

To ensure you get the best results, though, it’s important to know how to care for your skin post treatment! In this blog, we’ll orient you to the basics of laser skin resurfacing, then share 5 things to help you get the most out of your laser treatment.

What does laser skin resurfacing do?

Cosmetic lasers use light-based technology to improve the look of your skin in an outpatient, non-surgical procedure. They can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, pigmented lesions, keratoses, and uneven tone or texture. They also help to tighten the skin.

Laser treatment does carefully-controlled damage to your skin in order to take advantage of its healing mechanisms.

Laser treatments typically work by damaging skin is a highly-targeted way to stimulate the skin’s own healing and rejuvenation process. Lasers can also reach deeper layers to promote the formation of new collagen—that’s the component of your skin that gives it elasticity and keeps it plump and hydrated.

What is recovery like after laser treatment?

Laser resurfacing procedures vary widely and are finely-tuned to the individual patient’s needs, which means recovery will look different for each person.

For more mild treatments, you’ll likely experience some redness and sensitivity that will subside after only a few days. More aggressive treatments can offer dramatic results, but do require a longer recovery time, during which you may experience peeling skin as the dead outer layer is shed.

In either case, by the time two weeks have gone by you should be seeing the results in younger, healthier-looking skin.

Tips for a successful treatment

So what can you do to make sure you get the best results from your laser skin resurfacing treatment? Here are our top 5 tips.

1. Prepare for success

What you do before your treatment matters, too. One area you particularly need to watch out for is the sun. Even though it can be tempting to get outside and enjoy the weather, it’s best to avoid sun exposure for at least a week before your procedure.

You should also avoid anything that would be harsh on your skin, like chemical peels. Laser treatment makes your skin very sensitive and you don’t want to head into treatment with it already irritated.

It’s also a good idea to stay on top of hydration and healthy eating—your skin needs plenty of water and nutrients to generate more collagen and reap the full benefits of laser treatment!

Laser treatment makes your skin sensitive, and you don’t want to head into treatment with it already irritated.

2. Post treatment, focus on being gentle & clean

Laser treatment does carefully-controlled damage to your skin in order to take advantage of its healing mechanisms. You don’t want to put it under more stress as it recovers. That means treating it as gently as possible.

After your laser procedure, we will provide detailed instructions as to when you can first use cleansers and apply products. When you do, be sure to start with an extremely gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and dry your face with a newly washed towel. After cleansing, apply a mild, nourishing moisturizer that won’t irritate your skin. And definitely skip all exfoliants until your skin is fully recovered! (When you have a laser treatment here at the Swan Center, we’ll be sure to check your products and offer expert recommendations.)

When you’re ready to leave the house, you might wonder about cosmetics. We recommend starting with fresh foundation and cheek products (old products can easily harbor bacteria) and only using mineral makeup. This is also a great time to get out new brushes, or thoroughly cleanse yours, since they are often full of germs.

3. Be religious about post-treatment SPF

If it is important to avoid sun exposure before your procedure, it is even more crucial afterwards. For the initial recovery period, you’ll want to stay out of the sun entirely. If you do have to be outside, wear a broad-brimmed hat and a high-SPF sunscreen. For extra protection, we recommend you wear sunscreen inside as well, as UV rays pass through glass windows—where there is daylight, there is UV!

Even after healing is complete, you’ll want to continue to use a broad spectrum sunscreen to protect your renewed skin and help your results to last.

4. Don’t touch

After treatment, your skin’s protective layer is compromised and, as we mentioned before, it is more vulnerable to bacteria, so you’ll need to avoid touching your skin. It can be very tempting to feel your skin’s progress or disturb peeling skin, but you must resist the urge! Besides the risk of infection, scratching, rubbing, or picking can also increase irritation and inhibit healing, and even create new scars. Let your skin rest.

One other way our faces can pick up bacteria is from our smartphones, so consider giving yours regular wipe-downs with a sanitary wipe!

5. Get some sleep

What does sleep have to do with your skin? Actually, a lot. It isn’t just that sleep is important to healing in your body in general. A lack of sleep also causes stress, which leads to inflammation. Stress also raises cortisol levels in your blood, which contributes to the aging and damage of skin.

Enough sleep is also important for the production of collagen, which laser therapy is intended to stimulate.

Experts recommend 7-9 hours a night for adults; give yourself permission to get the rest you need. Your skin will thank you.

Atlanta laser skin resurfacing at the Swan Center

As with any aesthetic treatments, the practitioner makes a big difference. At The Swan Center, our highly-trained aesthetics team uses the latest technology to achieve great-looking results with minimal downtime. If you’re in the Atlanta area and are interested in exploring what laser treatments can do for you, we invite you to get in touch for a consultation.

1. Prepare like a pro

The first secret to gorgeous results is having a productive, in-depth personal consultation with your plastic surgeon. And you’ll get the most out of that meeting if you prepare ahead: read about others’ breast augmentation experiences, look at before and after photos of patients who look like you in the ‘before’ images, and get a basic understanding of breast implant and surgical options.

Take notes, save examples, and write down the questions you want to ask. This will empower you to ask more detailed questions and help you receive personally relevant information. Patients who have prepared for their consultation are better able to clearly communicate their goals, helping them to get on the same page with their surgeon more easily.

As you research breast implants, take notes, save photos, and write down the questions you want to ask your plastic surgeon.

2. Pay attention to the details

Your surgical plan has a big impact on your results. Whether you want a subtle boost or notably bigger breasts, my goal is to create a volumetric look that perfectly suits your frame. Here are 3 key elements of the plan that I am thinking about when I meet with you:

• Breast implant options: There are a range of breast implant options, with variations in size/volume, profile, and material. During the consultation, you will have the chance to try on sizers and feel implant options for yourself. We’ll recommend a range of sizes and profiles of implants that we know will look good on you, and help you narrow down your options from there.
• Breast lifts: If your breasts sag, you may need a breast lift in combination with your breast augmentation. This is not always the case, as a little visible “lift” can be achieved with implants. But if your breast sagging is more than just mild, we may have to incorporate a lift in order to achieve your vision.
• Add-on procedures: You may desire add-on procedures (such as liposuction) to get ideal, comprehensive results.

Excellent surgeons customize the procedure for your anatomy, and discuss the details of the surgery with you. The best surgical outcomes happen when the surgeon and patient are collaborating—you bring your expertise about your body and goals, and I bring my expertise about breast surgery.

3. Optimize your health for a smooth recovery

The secret to an optimal recovery? It starts well ahead of surgery! Go ahead and start investing in your health to support your body’s ability to heal during recovery:

• Strictly abstain from smoking and vaping.
• Fuel a healthy recovery by eating a nutrient-rich diet full of protein, fruits and vegetables, healthy fats like nuts and seeds, and whole-grain carbohydrates.
• After breast augmentation, you will need to sleep on your back. So that you’ll be comfortable getting quality rest in this position after surgery, practice ahead of time! You may want to place pillows along your sides to support this position at first.

After recovery, follow these tips that are a key part of the secret to gorgeous results:

• Continue to refrain from smoking—and, ideally, don’t pick it back up! Smoking ages your skin prematurely, and therefore contributes to breast sagging.
• Continue to eat a nutrient-rich diet.
• Don’t do too much, too soon after surgery. Embrace this chance to rest and allow your body to do the work of healing!
• Wear soft, supportive surgical bras—no underwires until your surgeon gives you the OK.
• Sleep on your back.
• Take care of your incisions per the scar care instructions that we provide.
• Avoid the sun, which will darken your healing scars and contribute to early skin aging.

4. Do it for the right reasons

Breast augmentation is one of most genuinely confidence-boosting procedures available. Yet choosing breast implants is a personal decision, and the happiest patients we see post-op decide to have this procedure to feel like a stronger, more confident version of themselves—not to please someone else. Check in with yourself before booking your consultation to make sure that you are seeking breast augmentation as a gift of confidence to yourself rather than to make others happy.

Breast augmentation should be a gift of confidence you give yourself—not something you do to make others happy.

5. Choose a qualified plastic surgeon who gets you

Good rapport with your plastic surgeon may be the most important secret to your results. Look for someone who listens to you and works with you during the consultation to make sure they 100% understand what you want out of surgery. Find a surgeon who is board certified, has years of experience, has glowing reviews, and shows you stellar before-and-after results that resemble the look you’re going for. Trust your intuition, and if you don’t feel that your plastic surgeon gets you, get a second opinion!

What is pumpkin spice?

Pumpkin spice is a combination of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and/or cloves. Each of these spices has its own health benefits and, when combined, can provide a serious nutritional boost. Just make sure you avoid the sugary syrups and baked goods often associated with this seasonal spice to get the maximum nutritional value.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is one of the most nutrient-rich spices you can buy. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help lower blood sugar, triglyceride levels, and cholesterol, and increase “good” HDL cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes.

Cinnamon also contains antioxidants, which help promote brain health by protecting brain cells and improving memory & cognition. As such, researchers have suggested that cinnamon can prevent and even reverse a variety of degenerative brain diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Finally, cinnamon has anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties which can help you fight infections and stay healthy through the holidays. In fact, studies have shown that cinnamon oil is effective at killing streptococcus (strep), MRSA, staphylococcus (staph infection), E. coli, and several other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

Nutmeg

Nutmeg is another spice high in antioxidants, which help to prevent cellular damage and certain cancers. Nutmeg can also soothe indigestion and improve oral health.

Similar to cinnamon, nutmeg can also protect brain cells and has even been shown to help victims of stroke and Alzheimer’s disease recover brain tissue.

Ginger

Ginger has been used medicinally by cultures around the world for centuries. Not only can it reduce nausea, pain, and inflammation but it can also alleviate menstrual cramps. Now that’s a spice which our female staff members can get behind!

Cloves

Cloves are an elusive spice to many of us; just what are those strange-looking black flowers and how do you use them? Because they contain analgesic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, cloves (in the form of clove oil) are often used by dentists to promote oral health and reduce pain.

Cloves are also high in manganese, a mineral required for normal brain and nervous system functioning. Just one teaspoon of ground cloves contains 30% of your recommended daily intake! Manganese can help promote healthy bone development when combined with calcium, zinc, and copper, an especially important consideration for postmenopausal women and elderly adults.

Wait…where’s the pumpkin?

As you likely know, pumpkin spice doesn’t actually contain pumpkin. Rather, the name was coined in the 1950s by spice manufacturers like McCormick who began blending these individual spices together to save consumers time and effort when baking with pumpkin. But while there’s no pumpkin in pumpkin spice, these gourds are much more than just a festive fall decoration; they are a nutritional powerhouse, providing fiber, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients. Here are 3 health benefits of pumpkin:

3 health benefits of pumpkin

1. Pumpkins are high in fiber, a nutrient that helps us stay fuller longer. Fiber also reduces “bad” LDL cholesterol and is associated with a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke, hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. A single cup of canned pumpkin contains a whopping 7 grams of fiber—more than you get from two slices of whole-grain bread!
2. Pumpkins are a good source of Beta Carotene, a type of carotenoid that can help protect skin from the sun’s UV rays, helping us look younger longer. As an added bonus, our bodies convert roughly 50% of carotenoids into vitamin A, a nutrient essential for maintaining good vision and healthy cell division.
   If vitamin A doesn’t sound familiar, its by-product, retinol, will. Vitamin A is converted into retinol by the liver, an essential ingredient in skincare products that can help prevent acne, fine lines, and age spots.
3. Pumpkins are rich in antioxidants, which boost immune function and protect healthy cells against disease-causing free radicals.

Pumpkins are a nutritional powerhouse, providing fiber, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients.

Avoid unhealthy foods flavored with pumpkin spice

We know it can be hard to avoid syrupy pumpkin spice lattes and sweetened pumpkin pastries, but these foods contain very few nutrients and are loaded with fat and sugar, negating any health benefits associated with pumpkin or pumpkin spice. So, instead of looking to Starbucks and your holiday pumpkin pie for nutritional value, make your own pumpkin-flavored foods by adding canned pumpkin and spices. These products will provide the fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your body craves this fall.

To get you started on your culinary journey, here are a few healthy pumpkin recipe ideas:

• Pumpkin pie overnight oats
• DIY pumpkin spice latte
• Pumpkin pie greek yogurt parfaits
• Roasted pumpkin seeds

Considering we’ve been one of Atlanta’s top plastic surgery practices for over 20 years in large part due to our surgeons’ reputation for achieving beautiful breast augmentation results, you may wonder what our surgeons think of this current shift in trends. They embrace it! Our surgeons pride themselves on their ability to achieve a very natural size, shape and feel for our patients through breast augmentation. This has long been an area of special expertise and interest at The Swan Center. That’s because we’re here to help each woman get the shape that feels just right for their own body—a shape which will look fabulous now as well as years down the road.

The goal of a natural breast augmentation has always been shape over size

While fashion trends—and the breast aesthetics they favor—come and go, our plastic surgeons have always prioritized shape, symmetry and proportion over size. Their skill for enhancing a patient’s overall figure with the appropriate size breast implants—whether small, average, or large—is something that our patients have long valued, ever since we opened our doors back in 1993.

It’s never too late to change your shape…

The other side of the “less is more” coin with regards to breast augmentation is that we are seeing more returning patients who want to refresh their silhouette by downsizing breast implants. While changing fashion trends may have some influence, more often than not it’s a personal shift in aesthetic preferences—how many of us have the exact same taste at age 40 as we did at age 20?

For these patients, a revision procedure to replace older, larger implants with smaller ones is often the answer. In some cases, a breast lift is also necessary to address excess skin that cannot contract to the new, smaller breast size. In all cases, the patient enjoys a fresh start on her breast augmentation with brand new implants.

Ultimately, breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries for women despite shifting fashion trends, and an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon will tailor the procedure to achieve the breast contour that suits your needs best, regardless of size.

Smaller breast implants can make a big difference, while maintaining a natural look
