Grooms, just like brides, want to shine on their big day. So why not consider some pre-wedding beauty treatments? There's a whole world of choices out there, but we've narrowed it down. Below, we've put together a list of minimally-invasive yet effective beauty treatments promising that glowing, picture-perfect look. An essential reminder: before undergoing any beauty procedures, always consult with a specialist to ensure it's right for you.
Microneedling
If you are tired of dealing with acne scars, uneven skin tone or want to reduce fine lines - microneedling might do the trick. This cosmetic procedure is on the rise lately, and there’s a few reasons for that. It’s minimally-invasive, takes roughly 30-40 minutes, is generally pain-free, and requires little recovery time. So here’s how it works. To start, your practitioner will apply a numbing cream to your skin to ensure a comfortable experience. Then they'll use a special pen-like device to make tiny punctures in the dermis. This will stimulate your skin's healing process and boost collagen production, giving you a more rejuvenated and fresh look. For best results, schedule at least 3-4 sessions.
Laser Hair Removal
A hairy body gives a man that macho appearance, no doubt. But for some guys, having a lot of body hair can be more of a curse rather than a blessing. If that's your case, consider laser hair removal treatment. The procedure can help you get rid of unwanted hair from any area of your body, be that your face, chest, neck or back. The best part? Laser hair removal gives long-lasting results and saves you from regular, time-consuming shaving or waxing routines. Plus, it's an absolute game-changer for grooms-to-be who want to rock tight-fitting attire without feeling any discomfort.

HydraFacials
HydraFacials are among some of the most popular facial treatments. What makes them so special, though? First off, HydraFacials are pretty gentle and work well for most skin types. Second, the risk of negative side effects is really low. And third, it's an all-in-one package, combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection. The end result: moisturized, clean and clear skin. If you're thinking about getting a HydraFacial for your wedding, don't leave it until the last minute. Make sure to schedule a trial a few months before the big event to see how your skin reacts.
CoolSculpting
On your special day, you surely want to look toned. Many hit the gym harder or change their diets, but sometimes that's just not enough. CoolSculpting might help you inch closer to that dream body. It uses a hand-held vacuum device that freezes and breaks down fat cells, targeting those stubborn areas that just don't respond to diet or exercise. While you might experience temporary swelling or bruising after the procedure, it'll go away in a couple of days. One thing to note: CoolSculpting doesn't work overnight. You'll need a few months to see the full results, so if you're thinking about it for your wedding or another big event, plan early!

LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is an innovative skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light to rejuvenate skin. Depending on your skin needs, your aesthetician will opt for either red or blue light frequencies. Red light is primarily used for anti-aging, boosting collagen production, while blue one — is for treating acne. LEDs don't emit ultraviolet rays and don't cause burns, so they're safe for skin. Just remember, like with any beauty treatment, starting early can help avoid unexpected issues.
Teeth Whitening
A picture-perfect white smile is the best accessory of all. If your teeth aren't quite there yet, you can get them professionally whitened at the dentist. Set aside at least 6 weeks for the whole process. This will cover your consultation, treatment planning, hygienist work, and the whitening itself. Sure, there are plenty of options for at-home whitening, like strips and whitening pens. But is it worth the risk? Better to trust the pros on this one.
