When it comes to your wedding day, it would be an understatement to say there’s a lot to plan. Then comes your beauty prep, where each detail is meticulously arranged, from your hair to your makeup and everything in between. With so much to consider ahead of saying "I do," however, it can be easy to forget about the minor tasks on your to-do list, like hair removal.

HELLO! spoke to Miami-based medical aesthetician Amy Peterson of Skincare by Amy Peterson to find out the most popular treatments in her sought-after clinic

In search of the best pore minimizer to magically make your pores disappear? Unfortunately, the size of our pores has been genetically determined. That means we have our parents or grandparents to thank for our pore complaints. It also means we can’t actually make our pores smaller, no matter how many peels, nose strips or clay masks we use to “shrink” them.

Amy Peterson is featured in Grazia’s article all about the beauty benefits of Colostrum. Colostrum, often referred to as “liquid gold,” is the nutrient-rich, pre-milk fluid produced by mammals shortly after giving birth. While traditionally recognized for its essential role in newborn nutrition in the form of early breast milk, colostrum has also emerged as a powerful ingredient in the world of beauty and skincare.

Moisturizers, serums, essences, oils, mists: the list of “must-have” beauty products goes on. It can be hard to parse out what you actually need from what’s just a marketing ploy. But even if you don’t want to spend a lot of time or money on an exhaustive skin care routine, adding a serum might be your ticket to clear, bright, even-toned skin, dermatologists say.

Building a skin-care routine isn’t easy, especially when you’re not sure how long to try a product before you know if it works for you. See how long you should give it to start seeing if it works. Also, how long it should take depending on what it is. Experts in the skincare industry, including Amy Peterson, weigh in on all aspects of knowing if your routine is working including what to do if it still isn’t working, and when to start seeing a professional.

Did you ever think you’d see the day people are rubbing banana peels on their face to promote better skin? While it might sound absolutely bananas, this theory doesn’t come from nowhere. Amy Peterson weighs in on this tiktok trend to explain the potential benefits that banana has on the skin.

This serum is based on a medical synthetic oxygen carrier, which acts like a hemoglobin substitute to replace excess carbon dioxide with pure oxygen. Whereas carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the cellular metabolism process, oxygen fuels it by producing ATP; basically, this pricy potion is kind of like cellular longevity in a bottle. Peterson adds that the serum also includes neurotoxin-mimicking Syn Ake to soften the creasing formed by repeated muscle movements, and the peptide complex Trylagen which supports the collagen life cycle.

Menopausal acne occurs as a result of hormonal changes, and it's notoriously hard to treat. Experts share their best tips for mature skin.

If the headline didn’t give it away, we’re talking all about lasers – or Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (nope, we had no clue, either). Turns out, not only are they great for welding metals, restoring eyesight and catching bank robbers, but they can fast-track you to the glowing, clear complexion of your dreams, too.

My vision was to create a space where you not only come in for body treatments but where you can also feel completely relaxed and recentered. The most common feedback we hear when people come in is, “I just want to hang out here forever!” and that truly was our goal in creating the new Body Suite.

According to Amy Peterson, founder of Skincare by Amy Peterson, the method was often used in old Hollywood, on actors and singers, in an attempt to create a more lifted and defined appearance to the face, cheeks and eyes. The hack involves placing tape on your face, sometimes left on overnight or under makeup, in an attempt to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing their Magic Hour Facial, a treatment created by Amy Peterson herself. She developed this facial from her desire to treat the skin on multiple levels, allowing the compatibility of a variety of technical facials to co-exist as one.

Make your jaw look as sharp as Bella Hadid's just by repositioning your mouth. This technique involves touching your tongue to the roof of your mouth to create a more defined jaw look. Experts speculate that Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lopez are among the celebrities that are mewing in photos. Is this trend worthwhile?

When it comes to the perfect ice roller, my vote goes to The Skin Savant’s Ice Roller ($40) which has depuffed, cooled and calmed my skin down better than any other tool.

Barrier repair is more than just a passing beauty buzzword. When the outermost layer of your skin — comprised of skin cells, lipids and the microbiome — is impaired by over-exfoliation or medical conditions like eczema, it struggles to function properly and retain hydration.

Not everyone has the luxury of hiding away at home with a puffy, red face, or wants to head out to dinner with flaking, peeling skin. This is why zero-downtime skin care treatments are on the rise. But when it comes to absolutely no downtime, there are also a number of discreet, minimally-invasive treatments from estheticians, aesthetic nurses, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons that leave the surface of the skin intact (and often glowing) so that you can still wear makeup and keep up with your social calendar.

From dermaplaning to cryo and everything in between, Amy Peterson’s Miami Beach clinic offers the full range of services to achieve beautiful, glowing skin from head to toe. She posts dozens of in-office procedural videos so her followers will know exactly what to expect when they go in for a treatment, and her product knowledge is through the roof (she has her own line called Skin Savant too).
