In the months leading up to the wedding, you can receive additional injections and make adjustments as needed.
For fuller, longer lashes, you can get a prescription for a hair growth solution like Lattise. Another option is Revive 7 which is a non-prescription, vegan alternative.

If you're considering a facial before the wedding, schedule it at least a week in advance to give any redness time to fade before the big day.
