AT YOUR SERVICE

So your tried-and-true cleanse-tone-moisturise doesn’t seem to be cutting it? Take your skincare regimen next-level with the help of these experts. Ready, set glow!

Y our wedding day is a special moment in time, captured forever in your guests’ memories and your family photo album. So, it makes absolute sense to want to look and feel your most radiant.

Just like pieces of art which have to start on a quality canvas, your wedding day makeup application looks most flawless on healthy skin. The optimum time to have your skin analysed is at least six months out from “I do”. Never had it done before? There’s no need to feel intimidated – the experts of New Zealand’s top skin clinics are just as excited as you to be a part of your skin improvement journey.

We love being involved in the pre-wedding preparations,” says Clinic 42 founding director Dr. Joanna Romanowska. “It simply involves advising you – and perhaps the mother of the bride or groom as well – on the optimal way to address particular concerns.” Clinic 42 takes a conservative approach to all treatments planned for that special occasion, and focuses on making their patients look natural: the best possible version of themselves. Requests for skin clarity and refined texture are most common, but pigmentation, sun damage and acne can also be addressed. “Vitamin infusion facials, Intense Pulsed Light treatments as well as subtle filler treatments or skin hydration procedures are top of the list,” says Joanna. “Subtle and under- stated expressionsoftening treatments help to refresh and rejuvenate. Everyone has different requirements of how their skin health can be supported and optimised,” she explains. “We consult with many patients who have lost confidence in typical products bought over the counter in supermarkets or chemists, only to gain amazing results from a personalised regimen prescribed specifically for them.”
