Can I get facials or beauty treatments if I’m pregnant?
Good question! During the nine months of pregnancy, a woman’s body transforms considerably due to the effect of hormones. It is normal to notice changes in the skin, such as the appearance of spots, stretch marks or even acne.
Even if you want to counteract these aesthetic effects of pregnancy, it is essential to be informed about the risks, as many treatments are not compatible with pregnancy. Let’s learn more about this topic.
What aesthetic treatments are contraindicated during pregnancy?
Although hyaluronic acid contributes to keeping the skin hydrated and producing collagen, and botulinum toxin (Botox) prevents the formation of wrinkles by relaxing the movement of muscles, both treatments, being injectable, are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There are no scientific studies that demonstrate their total safety during this stage.
Avoid aggressive skin procedures such as chemical peels with substances such as salicylic, glycolic and retinoic acid, as they may affect the fetus. Likewise, avoid treatments such as laser, ultrasound, pulsed light and radiofrequency. The main reason is that there is no definitive evidence on their safety during pregnancy.
So what body treatments can I have during pregnancy?
While it’s true that pregnancy limits some aesthetic options, there are still plenty of ways to pamper yourself and look radiant! Here are safe and effective alternatives that not only enhance your natural beauty during pregnancy, but will also offer healthy benefits:
Sun protection against blemishes:
During pregnancy, skin tends to be more sensitive to sunlight and hormonal changes can facilitate the appearance of blemishes. That’s why sun protection becomes your best ally to prevent hyperpigmentation, such as melasma, so get an even and safe tan with a good sunscreen!
It is not only important to avoid sunburn, but also to prevent the appearance of these spots that can persist even after childbirth. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF) is essential.
In addition, look for sunscreens that contain ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which provide a physical barrier against UV rays.
Facial cleansing and moisturizing treatments for facial skin:
Well-groomed skin is synonymous with beauty and health. Facial cleanses remove impurities and dead skin cells, while moisturizing treatments nourish and keep the skin elastic and smooth. Give your face the pampering it deserves!
Relaxing massage:
Is there anything more comforting than a good massage? Not only will they help you release tension and relieve muscle pain, but they also promote blood circulation. A real gift for your and your baby’s well-being.
For fluid retention: Lymphatic drainage and pressotherapy:
Pregnancy can cause fluid retention in various areas of the body. These treatments are excellent to combat this problem, as they facilitate the elimination of liquids, oxygenate the tissue and also prevent the appearance of cellulite, varicose veins or spider veins.
Finally, although these treatments are generally safe, your health and that of your baby are a priority. Therefore, it is essential that you always consult your gynecologist before undergoing any cosmetic procedure.
Also, choose trusted aesthetic clinics with certified professionals and an impeccable reputation, like us at Belleza Latina, because your beauty and well-being are our passion!
