Why Skin Boosters Are the Perfect Pre-Wedding Skin Prep
Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life, so it’s natural to want your skin to look its very best. Beyond flawless makeup, brides today are turning to advanced skin treatments that deliver a healthy glow from within. Skin boosters are quickly becoming the treatment of choice for pre-wedding skin prep, helping brides achieve luminous, hydrated, and smooth complexions that last throughout the big day and beyond.
At the Apul Parikh Clinic in London, Dr Parikh offers SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®, the latest generation of skin booster treatment, providing brides-to-be with a trusted, prescription-only solution backed by science and expertise.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid directly into the skin. Unlike dermal fillers, which are designed to add volume and structure, skin boosters work at a more superficial level to improve hydration, texture, and overall skin quality.
The result is softer, smoother, and more radiant-looking skin that catches the light beautifully, a true “bridal glow” that can’t be achieved with makeup alone. Effects typically last up to six months, making them ideal for brides looking for lasting results that see them through their wedding, honeymoon, and beyond.
Why Skin Boosters Are Ideal for Brides
Brides often worry about looking overdone before their big day, but skin boosters are subtle and natural in their results. Because they focus on hydration and quality rather than altering facial structure, they enhance your natural features and ensure your skin looks like the best version of itself.
There is also very little downtim, most people experience only minor redness or pinprick marks that settle within 24 hours. This makes it easy to fit skin boosters into a busy pre-wedding schedule without disrupting dress fittings, photoshoots, or hen celebrations.
Introducing SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®
At the Apul Parikh Clinic, we use SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM®, the newest skin booster treatment from the globally trusted JUVÉDERM® portfolio. SKINVIVE is designed to improve cheek skin smoothness, hydration, and overall luminosity with results that last around six months.
Previously known in the UK as JUVÉDERM® VOLITE, this treatment will officially be referred to as SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® from the end of September. Brides who may have had VOLITE in the past can expect the same results, simply under a new product name.
Your Bridal Timeline: When to Book Skin Boosters
Recommended: three to six months before the wedding
Timing is key when planning aesthetic treatments around your wedding day. For skin boosters, we generally recommend booking your initial treatment around three to six months before the wedding. This allows results to build gradually, giving you naturally radiant skin by the time of your big day.
A second session may be advised closer to the wedding, typically four to six weeks beforehand, to ensure your skin is at its absolute best for the final run-up to the ceremony, makeup trial, and photography sessions.
The Treatment Experience with Dr Apul Parikh
During your appointment, Dr Parikh will assess your skin, map out treatment areas, and carefully administer the skin booster using fine injections. The treatment is quick, often completed within 30 to 45 minutes, and discomfort is minimal. Most brides can resume their daily activities straight after, with only a few simple aftercare steps to follow, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours.
Expertise You Can Trust
When it comes to injectable treatments, expertise and product choice make all the difference. Dr Apul Parikh is a member of the Allergan Medical Institute faculty, a position that reflects his commitment to excellence in aesthetics and his role in training other medical professionals. At our clinic, we use the JUVÉDERM® portfolio exclusively, ensuring that every treatment is carried out with products that have a proven safety record and robust scientific backing.

What makes skin boosters so appealing for brides is their ability to enhance confidence. Knowing your skin will look smooth, hydrated, and radiant both in person and on camera allows you to focus on enjoying every moment of your wedding day. With SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM®, you can achieve results that are natural, subtle, and long-lasting, just what every bride deserves.
