When it comes to your wedding day, you want to heighten your beauty and accentuate your features without changing you. Cosmetic treatments are a great way to enhance your features and give you the edge you need to step in front of the camera with confidence. Photographs of your wedding day will be passed down for years to come, so it’s MORE than okay to make beauty a priority in the weeks and months prior to your wedding! To this end, we went on a search to find the best cosmetic treatments in Austin, Texas to enhance your beauty—not erase or replace it. Read on to discover the 6 cosmetic treatments every Austin bride should know about!

Coolsculpting
Coolsculpting is a non-surgical procedure that eliminates fat that may be resistant to your exercise and diet regimen. The best news? This procedure requires little to no downtime! It works by safely delivering targeted cooling to freeze (and, essentially, kill) fat cells. Your body processes these cells and leaves behind leaner tissue, giving you the silhouette you’ve been craving. Beleza Medical Spa has an excellent information page on this service, as well as before and after shots!

Lash Lift
If it’s true that “eyes are the window to the soul,” then your eyelashes serve as the chic decorative curtains. They draw attention to your eyes…but only if they can be seen. Using falsies and eyelash curlers often means uncertain results (and a lot of hassle). This treatment, on the other hand, ensures that your lashes will have the shape they need to stand out in pictures. Essentially a perm for your lashes, a Lash Lift offers a permanent curl—at least for the life span of your current set of lashes (about 4-6 weeks). Haute House Lash and Beauty Bar offers this treatment along with tinting and extensions for a dreamy doe-eyed look.

Microneedling
Your body has the ability to rejuvenate and repair its own skin and tissue when it becomes damaged. Microneedling is a safe process that helps you tap into this healing power naturally! This is achieved through the use of tiny needles which puncture the top layer of your skin, signaling cells to create new, healthy growth. The results are a smooth, even-toned complexion! Austin Med Spa uses the MicroPen for this procedure, allowing you to target areas other than the face as well.

Halo Treatment
Local makeup artist Gertie Wilson, who is also the founder of Elevé Cosmetics, introduced us to this treatment…and we can’t WAIT to book our first appointment. “It’s like an overhaul for your face!” she says. The Halo technology uses lasers to erase imperfections on the surface and top dermal layers of the skin. Gertie adds that this procedure is perfect for eliminating fine lines, sun spots, and acne scars—all good things when it comes to perfecting your complexion for your wedding day. Sanova Dermatology has excellent reviews and lays out an in-depth information page so that you know what to expect!

Teeth Whitening
You’re going to smile on your wedding day, guaranteed—so don’t neglect your teeth when planning out your beauty regimen. Teeth whitening is an excellent solution to quickly obtain a brighter smile. There are a few options to consider, so do your research and visit your dentist to determine which treatment is right for you. Luxe Dental Austin offers chemical whitening, while Radiant White Smiles of Austin offers LED light treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, don’t be afraid to ask providers about an organic or gentler solution!

Hydrafacial
The name of this treatment alone evokes feelings of relaxation! The ultimate “treat yourself” procedure, the Hydrafacial infuses skin with antioxidants while extracting all-things-ick from your pores. You don’t want to feel like your skin has been stripped, so you’ll be happy to know that this treatment simultaneously cleans and moisturizes. As a result, you’ll leave the office with skin that feels more soft and supple than ever before.
