Chemical peel before wedding 2 weeks away? Prestige peel. Should I get one?

Question

If I am getting married on April 2nd, should I get a prestige peel on March 14? Will my skin be smooth by then for pictures etc. or should I wait until after wedding. I am 52 yrs old

Thank you for your question. You will want to wait on any treatment that is aggressive.With only two weeks, a 2-3 day recovery is needed.  If you are going to do anything, a Nano Laser Peel might give you the radiant skin you are looking for.

To be sure, see two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.

I hope this helps.

Please consider yourself done.  If you have not gotten it done by now-just forget about it.  Let the photographer doctor your photographs in photoshop.  Even a 52 there is always a lot going on just before any wedding.  Just enjoy yourself and after the wedding is over and the dust has settled, then consider getting work done.

The wedding is a big day and your skin has to be equally ready.  I would advise against doing a chemical peel 2 weeks before the wedding or something that you have never had before.  Chemical peels or Clear and Brilliant (which is a mini-fraxel) are all excellent treatments.  But if you have never done these before I would not do it right before the wedding.  As with all cosmetic procedures please find a board certified dermatologist for the best results.
