Your wedding day is the ultimate photo-op, and glowing skin is just as desired as the dress, the venue, and the flowers. But achieving smooth, radiant skin doesn’t happen overnight. If you’re considering a laser facial in Winnipeg, timing is everything.
The right treatment plan will boost your skin’s brightness, refine texture, and clear it up, all while leaving enough time for healing.
Here’s the scoop:
Research shows that brides-to-be often focus on toned arms, a tighter stomach, and radiant, photo-ready skin for their big day—wanting to look and feel their best in every angle and every shot. While there’s often pressure to lose weight, changing your body most certainly is not a requirement to look and feel beautiful. Celebrate yourself by embracing healthy habits you enjoy and indulging in self-care rituals that enhance your glow and boost confidence.
Showing your skin some love? How far in advance should you start laser treatments? Let’s break it down:
How Long Before Your Wedding Should You Get a Laser Facial?
Laser facials work by stimulating collagen, resurfacing the skin, and reducing pigmentation (blemishes, uneven tone, or redness)—but results aren’t instant. The skin needs time to heal and regenerate, meaning your first laser session shouldn’t be the week before the big day.
- For best results: Start laser facials at least 3-6 months before your wedding.
- If time is short: A final session no later than 4 weeks before your wedding is ideal.
A typical laser facial in Winnipeg involves some post-treatment redness or mild flaking, so planning ahead matters. The more sessions you complete, the more refined and even your skin will look.
First time getting laser? Here’s your guide to finding the perfect laser treatment personalized to your goals.
The Ultimate Pre-Wedding Skin Treatment
For the smoothest, most makeup-ready skin, the results of laser can be further boosted. Adding dermaplaning or graduating to a Fusion Facial Treatment for your last session takes results to the next level.
Why Add Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz and dead skin buildup, revealing unparalleled, soft, luminous skin beneath that has been rejuvenated by laser. Your at-home skincare routine will absorb more effectively, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper and deliver maximum benefits.
It also creates the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application. It is available as an add-on option when you book any facial treatment online.
A Fusion Facial Treatment Before the Big Day?
Fusion Facial Treatments combine laser with multiple technologies in one session, targeting:
✔ Fine lines and uneven texture
✔ Hydration and skin plumping
✔ Uneven pigmentation and blemishes
For the best pre-wedding glow, a final dermaplaning and laser session 4 weeks before the wedding ensures a smooth, camera-ready complexion. Fusion Facial Treatments combine both for an extra boost, and many include a hydrating facial to give your skin a big ‘drink of water’ before the big day.
When Should You Get a Laser Facial Before Any Event?
Not getting married but have a big event coming up? Whether it’s a milestone birthday, engagement shoot, or vacation, the same rules apply:
✔ Start laser facials 3+ months before for deep resurfacing and lasting results.
✔ For last-minute prep, schedule a treatment 3-4 weeks before your event. You’ll get more out of your appointment if your laser facial is part of a Fusion Facial Treatment.
✔ Avoid last-minute laser sessions within a week of a big event.
Skin needs time to recover, and post-laser redness can last a few days.

Your face isn’t the only thing that you can boost before the big day. Laser hair removal and RF body contouring also helps you feel confident from every angle.
Laser Hair Removal Timeline for Weddings (and warm-weather honeymoons!)
Smooth skin takes time! Laser hair removal works in cycles, meaning multiple sessions are needed for full results.
✔ Start at least 6-9 months before the wedding to complete enough sessions.
✔ Areas like legs, bikini, and underarms need at least 6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
✔ The last session should be at least a week before the wedding to avoid irritation.
Why Does It Take 6 Sessions?
Each hair follows a natural cycle of growth and shedding but can only be inhibited during a specific phase. Since not all hairs grow at the same time, multiple sessions—typically around six—are needed to effectively target each hair during the right stage of the cycle.
RF Body Contouring for a Sculpted Silhouette
Radiofrequency (RF) Body Contouring is a non-invasive way to tighten and smooth the body before a wedding. Whether it’s for the arms, stomach, or thighs, RF treatments help with:
✔ Skin tightening and cellulite reduction
✔ Smoothing out areas for a more contoured look
✔ Enhancing definition for strapless or fitted dresses
Best time to start? 3+ months before the wedding, with the final session 2 weeks before the big day.
How Does It Work?
RF energy is delivered to the dermis through a connected pad, bypassing the outer skin layer to stimulate tightening and lymphatic flushing with targeted heat.
RF Body Contouring isn’t a weight loss treatment, but it enhances the results of healthy habits. We’re here to help you flaunt your curves and feel confident in your skin.
RF boosts lymphatic drainage to naturally eliminate damaged fat cells while simultaneously tightening the skin, which sculpts (and smooths cellulite!).
Think of it as the final sculpting touch—a boost that defines your curves and a reward that keeps you motivated for daily habits. With no BMI restrictions, it’s a great way to refine and contour!
Laser Tattoo Removal (or microblading removal)
You might be surprised to learn that for many brides—and some grooms—a coming wedding is the perfect motivation to remove a tattoo that no longer brings joy.
Sometimes it’s about visibility in a gown, clashing with the esthetic you’re going for, or simply letting go of memories that no longer serve you. In other cases, it’s about fading a tattoo just enough to make room for new ink that celebrates a fresh chapter.
Whatever the reason, it’s completely valid.
Depending on your goal—full removal or subtle fading—you may need anywhere from 3 to 6 laser tattoo removal sessions. With our advanced PicoSure® picosecond laser technology, the actual treatment is faster and more efficient than traditional lasers, which rely on slower heat-based methods. PicoSure breaks ink into tiny particles your body can naturally eliminate through skin regeneration.
We typically recommend 8–12 weeks between sessions to allow your skin time to heal and fade gradually—helping you get the best results with fewer treatments overall.
For best results, we recommend starting your laser tattoo removal 9 to 12 months before your wedding, giving your skin enough time to heal and fade between sessions.
Quick & Easy Brow Microblading Removal
Thinking about removing old brow pigmentation? Over time, pigment can shift in colour or no longer reflect your desired shape or saturation—and that’s okay. Whether it’s faded microblading, outdated ombré, or permanent brow tattoos that no longer suit your style, laser removal offers a fast, effective solution.
The good news? Brow pigment fading or removal is often easier and faster than removing body tattoos. Most clients see great results in just 1–3 sessions, with each session taking only 10–15 seconds per brow. Click here to learn more and see real results.
The Perfect Laser Timeline for a Wedding
A laser facial in Winnipeg can be the ultimate skin-prep treatment, but timing is everything. Starting at least 3-6 months before your wedding ensures your skin is smooth, radiant, and ready for the spotlight.
✔ Laser facials should start at least 3 months before for optimal results.
✔ A final session 4 weeks before the wedding locks in a smooth glow.
✔ Adding dermaplaning or a Fusion Facial Treatment enhances radiance.
✔ For body treatments, laser hair removal and RF body contouring should start 6+ months in advance.
With the right timing, you’ll have beautiful, glowing skin from head to toe—ready for your dream wedding day.
