The bridal glow-up goes clinical: Inside the science of wedding-ready wellness

Move over, facials and collagen masks—today’s glow-up is happening at the cellular level

There was a time when the ultimate bridal skincare flex was a 10-step routine and a sheet mask that promised “glass skin.” Now? It’s a drip bag hanging elegantly by your hotel bed. Welcome to the new age of wedding prep—where brides are swapping collagen creams for coenzymes, and the real glow-up starts not in your vanity kit, but in your bloodstream. IV therapies are the new bridal glow-up. It’s like feeding your cells a super smoothie—except directly into your bloodstream, so nothing gets lost in digestion. This glow up speaks to brides who want to arrive at their pheras radiant, revived, and fully recharged and one that proves: the most effective kind of luxury is the kind that actually works.

Once reserved for biohackers and jet-setters, IV drips are now a pre-wedding essential. And leading the charge is the global wellness brand REVIV, whose curated suite of IV therapies and booster shots has become the quiet heroes of bridal prep. Their approach is simple: treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Need deep hydration after a month of caffeine and fittings? Book the Hydromax—an electrolyte-rich IV designed to replenish, revive, and keep you glowing from sangeet to vidaai.

Or there’s Vitaglow, a cult-favourite glutathione drip that detoxifies the body, boosts cellular health, and delivers that lit-from-within clarity brides swear by. It’s the kind of glow no highlighter can replicate.

And then there’s NAD+, the IV that does the most. This coenzyme-powered infusion supports DNA repair, mental clarity, energy levels, and inflammation—all the things brides need when running on adrenaline and four hours of sleep. It’s not just anti-ageing—it’s anti-exhaustion, anti-burnout, and very pro-camera-close-up.

Short on time? Enter Vitaboost—a potent glutathione booster shot that works as a pre-function pick-me-up or mid-week maintenance between drips. Think of it as bridal wellness in under five minutes.

Together, these therapies reshape the pre-wedding ritual. REVIV’s approach isn’t about crash-cleansing before the big day—it’s about layering in real, functional self-care throughout your journey. Book a NAD+ session two weeks before the wedding. Slip in a Vitaglow drip after your final lehenga trial. Keep a Vitaboost vial ready for the morning of your mehndi. These aren’t trends—they’re tools. And they’re helping modern brides walk into their weddings looking incredible, feeling unstoppable, and functioning at their absolute best.

Because this time, it’s not just about how good you look walking down the aisle. It’s about how strong, clear-headed, and glowing you feel while doing it. This is what REVIV’s quiet luxury is all about—one that works beneath the surface, but shows up where it matters most.
