Glow Up for Wedding Season: Top Dermatologist-Recommended Beauty Treatments

By McLean & Potomac Dermatology | Skin Tips 2025

Wedding season is in full swing—and whether you’re a bride, bridesmaid, or guest, everyone wants to look their best. Glowing skin, a smooth complexion, and radiant confidence start with the right skincare routine and professional treatments. At our dermatology practice, we specialize in helping patients achieve picture-perfect skin just in time for the big day.

Here are our top dermatologist-recommended beauty treatments to help you shine this wedding season:

1. Microneedling for Radiance and Texture

Microneedling stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines, acne scars, and dullness. It’s one of the most effective ways to improve skin texture and tone without downtime. We recommend starting this treatment at least 6 months before your event to allow for full results and healing time.

2. Botox® for a Refreshed, Youthful Look

Want to soften frown lines or crow’s feet before the cameras start flashing? Botox can give you a smooth, natural finish without looking “frozen.” Results typically appear within 7–10 days, so plan ahead and book your appointment 3–4 weeks before the wedding.

3. Hydrafacials for the Ultimate Glow

Hydrafacials are a favorite for brides and guests alike. This non-invasive treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin for an immediate glow-up. Best of all, there’s no downtime. Schedule your Hydrafacial a few days before the wedding for a fresh, dewy complexion.

4. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for Redness and Dark Spots

If you’re dealing with sun damage, redness, or uneven skin tone, IPL can help. This treatment targets pigmentation and broken capillaries, leaving skin more even and radiant. For best results, begin treatments 6–8 weeks in advance, as multiple sessions may be needed.

5. Medical-Grade Skincare at Home

In addition to in-office treatments, we offer dermatologist-approved products that work to maintain and boost your results. From antioxidant serums to gentle exfoliants, we’ll tailor a skincare regimen that supports your goals and timeline.

Whether you’re walking down the aisle or simply attending a celebration, our team is here to help you glow with confidence. We’ll customize a treatment plan based on your skin type, event schedule, and aesthetic goals—so you can look and feel your absolute best.
