The Wedding Special Part 2: Why Grooms Need a Glow Up Too – A Bride & Groom Comparison
01 October 2025
✨ At our clinic, we believe a groom’s glow up should be just as personal as a bride’s. Every plan is customised to fit his lifestyle, concerns, and goals—ensuring results that look natural and confident.
💌 Dr. Michelle’s Note
When my I recall my own wedding planning, I remember my husband joking “All I need is a haircut and a suit right?” He also balked at the idea of having any make up on for the photoshoot.
Listening to the wedding chatter around me that revolves round flowers, make up gowns and photography/videography, what struck me was how little attention is given to the grooms. But the truth is, grooms deserve to feel just as confident standing at the altar as brides do.
Over the years, I have had more and more men walk into my clinic quietly admitting they want clearer skin, sharper jawlines, or even help with sweating in suits especially in our weather. They don’t always say it out loud, but the difference these treatments make on their confidence is incredible. That is why I wrote this article—to show that glow ups aren’t just for brides.
Why Grooms Should Start Early Too
Just like brides, grooms need time for their treatments to work naturally and effectively. Here’s why a 12-month timeline is also ideal for men:
• Acne and scarring need multiple sessions – Lasers, peels, and acne programs require months to clear and even skin tone
• Jawline refinement takes planning – Fillers, threads, and neurotoxin for slimming look best when swelling has subsided and results have settled
• Sweat control needs timing – Neurotoxin for the underarms lasts 6 months, so scheduling it twice before the wedding ensures fresh results
• Body contouring requires healing- Liposuction, BodyTite, or gynaecomastia reduction need downtime. Final definition appears over months.
• Subtle changes work best. Men prefer understated results – a longer timeline allows gradual, natural improvements.
By starting early, grooms enjoy stress-free prep, time for refinements, and confidence that looks authentic and effortless.
Here’s a quick guide to looking your best for the big day
Step 1: Foundation – Skin Health First
• Skin boosters & Hydrafacials: Hydration and smoother texture.
• Acne management: Peels and lasers to reduce scars and breakouts.
• Lasers: Refine pores, even tone, reduce redness.
• Ultherapy & Thermage: Subtle tightening for jawline and neck.
• Fillers, Neurotoxin & Nose Threads: Define jawline, refine nose, smooth wrinkles.
• Neurotoxin for Axilla (Underarms): Reduces sweating so grooms stay fresh in suits.
Step 2: Body Confidence – Healthy Weight Management & Contouring
Looking sharp in a suit often comes down to physique.
As with brides, remember that liposuction is not a weight-loss tool. It treats stubborn fat after healthy weight loss. That is why we work closely with experienced dieticians and trainers to create customised weight management plans in addition to starting on medical treatment if required, helping each groom achieve a sustainable transformation.
Contouring options:
• Liposuction: For abdomen, waist, arms, chest—including gynaecomastia reduction.
• BodyTite: Reduces fat while tightening skin.
• Morpheus8 RF microneedling: Improves skin firmness, tone, and laxity.
Step 3: Beyond the Face – Hands & Back
• Hands 🤝: Visible during ring exchanges and handshakes—boosters smooth skin.
• Back 👔: Lasers and peels reduce acne and scars, keeping skin clear under shirts.
