Over 60% of Brides-to-Be and Newlyweds Share Their Aesthetic Medical Experiences: Recommended Treatments and Clinics 💄

2024.11.14 published

Aesthetic Medicine/Cosmetic Surgery is Really on the Rise!

Botox, Hyaluronic Acid Injections, and Thread Lifts.

Until recently, there was only the term "plastic surgery," which had the image of being something that only a few celebrities or public figures did secretly, attempting to hide it or deny it if caught. However, with the emergence of the term "aesthetic medicine," which is quite different from cosmetic surgery, treatments like these have become really accessible to everyone.

It's truly wonderful that we can use medical advancements to become more beautiful...!

Now, you can easily make a reservation through Hot Pepper, and it has become an era where you can visit aesthetic clinics as casually as going to a beauty salon.

When I conducted a survey on Marry's Instagram story, I was surprised to find that over 60% of the 400 respondents had experienced aesthetic medicine.

Respondents shared the treatments they received during their pre-wedding period.

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 1

I get botox for the corners of my mouth every 3 months 🫶🏻 It showed results for the pre-wedding photos, and I'm glad I did it✨

I also got shoulder botox a month before the pre-wedding photos, so I plan to get it again before the wedding!

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 2

💎 Botox 3 months before

💎 Jubeluck twice, 2 months and 1 month before (they actually recommend more than 3 times)

💎 Peeling and Lumecca 3 weeks before (I’ve been doing it monthly for several years)

💎 HIFU 3 months before (I receive it once every 6 months)

This is a quick summary of what I can remember✨

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 3

I got hyaluronic acid and botox injections.

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 4

I did HIFU once a month from 3 months before the wedding!

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 5

I had botox and hyaluronic acid injections completed by 3 months before the ceremony🙆🏻‍♀️

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 6

I'm doing botox, fat-dissolving injections, and eyelid surgery! If my budget allows, I plan to do a nose thread lift and shoulder botox in the future.

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 7

I'm a future bride getting married in November🙋‍♀️

I intended to get shoulder botox 2-3 times, so I received three times the normal amount in July, but it actually seemed to worsen my shoulder stiffness, so I've only done it once!

【Pre-Wedding Aesthetic Treatments】 Bride's Response 8

I did fractional CO2 laser treatment about once a month, for about 7 sessions before the wedding! It really helped with my acne scars and pores✨

Since the downtime is long, scheduling adjustments are a must‼

What Types of Aesthetic Medicine are There?

✅ Skincare (such as Potenza and Rejuran)

✅ Injection types like botox and hyaluronic acid

✅ Thread and non-invasive lift types like HIFU

Aesthetic medicine mainly falls into the three categories above.

(In addition, there are surgical options involving scalpels, like aesthetic hair removal, liposuction, double eyelid surgery, and dental alignment.)

If you are trying aesthetic medicine for the first time, something like skincare or HIFU, which shares the same purpose as esthetics (such as wanting clearer skin), but is a medical treatment that offers more noticeable effects than esthetics, could be relatively easy to receive.

The price does not differ significantly compared to esthetic salon menus, so it’s easy to choose♡

Here are some recommended procedures and aesthetic clinics.

For Skincare, Potenza at Rize Clinic

First, if you are struggling with skin issues (like sagging, acne scars, melasma, pores, fine lines, pigmentation, redness, firmness, etc.), I recommend Potenza at Rize Clinic.

Potenza is an advanced version of the derma pen, which can address various skin concerns such as sagging, acne scars, and fine lines with the latest skin treatments.*

It causes minimal damage to the skin and has a short downtime (about 1 day), making it a popular choice for first-time aesthetic treatments♡

The price range for Potenza is about 30,000 to 50,000 yen per session (depending on the needles and medications used), and there is hardly any price difference between clinics. The equipment used is the same, so there's practically no difference in treatment quality, making it essential to focus on whether there are additional charges when choosing a clinic!

When receiving aesthetic medicine, in addition to the treatment fee, many clinics also have separate charges for:

✅ Consultation fees

✅ Initial and follow-up examination fees

✅ Reservation modification and cancellation fees

✅ Treatment fees for skin troubles

✅ Anesthesia fees

Some clinics charge an additional 10,000 yen for consultation or anesthesia fees even for the same treatment. If you want to avoid extra charges, choosing a clinic that doesn't have them is ideal...!

Rize Clinic, a major aesthetic dermatology chain, has absolutely no additional costs, which is highly recommended♡

With 18 locations nationwide (Sapporo, Sendai, Omiya, Kashiwa, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza, Tachikawa, Machida, Nagoya Sakae, Nagoya Station, Kyoto, Osaka Umeda, Shinsaibashi, Kobe, Hiroshima, Fukuoka), be sure to find a location that’s convenient for you♡

➡ I recommend Rize Clinic for Potenza♡

For Hyaluronic Acid/Botox

Hyaluronic acid or botox (Botulinum) can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and jawline by making the face look slimmer.

Both are injection-based treatments that have hardly any downtime and can be completed in a short time.

The amount and area where hyaluronic acid and botox are injected are crucial, so it's best to choose a clinic with experienced doctors.

Shinagawa Skin Clinic has a wealth of cases and experienced doctors with many insights, so it's a safe choice♡

(Looking at beauty accounts, many people say "for this, it's only Dr. XX at YY Clinic that can win!" If you are very knowledgeable about beauty and have undergone numerous treatments, you can likely notice subtle differences and have satisfactory treatments, but for those new to aesthetic medicine, larger chains tend to be safer and cheaper, allowing for satisfaction regardless of who carries out the treatment.)

Here’s the pricing for Shinagawa Skin Clinic’s wrinkle-reducing (hyaluronic acid) treatment.

✅ Nasolabial folds and mouth corners (both sides): 17,570 yen

✅ Forehead (upper/middle/lower) / Outer corners of eyes (both sides) / Between eyebrows: 21,990 yen

Here’s the pricing for Shinagawa Skin Clinic’s petite face-slimming (Botulinum toxin injection) treatment.

✅ Jawline (both sides): 3,240 yen

Shinagawa Skin Clinic has over 80 locations nationwide from Hokkaido to Okinawa, so search for a convenient clinic to visit♡

(You can receive the same menus at the same prices at Shinagawa Aesthetic Surgery too!)

For Thread Lifts, TA Clinic

Recently, everyone seems to be getting thread lifts (?!).

Previously, liposuction was the main method for face slimming, but concerns included the requirement for skin incisions, long downtimes (about a month), and high costs (around 200,000 to 500,000 yen).

Nowadays, thread lifts gaining popularity for face slimming involve inserting threads from the temple area to lift the skin.

✅ No skin incisions required

✅ Short downtime (1 to 2 weeks)

✅ More affordable than liposuction (2,000 to 60,000 yen per thread)

This is why many people are opting for it♡

If you're considering getting a thread lift, I recommend the collagen lift at TA Clinic.

TA Clinic's thread lift uses unique threads that can achieve both lifting and skincare, making it particularly appealing♡

They specialize in face slimming and also provide detailed design simulations, which adds to the reassurance♡

As of November 13, they are recruiting limited-time monitoring participants who can have the anesthesia and consultation fees waived. You can experience it for 22,000 yen for one side (44,000 yen for both), so if you're thinking about it, now is the chance♡

Clinics are located in Sapporo, Sendai, Shinjuku, Ginza, Yokohama, Kawagoe, Takasaki, Osaka, and Fukuoka＊
