Skin During Pregnancy

What can you do for your skin during fertility treatments, being pregnant or while breastfeeding?

During these very exciting and hormonally wavey times, women going through these stages can have suddenly drastic changes in their skin complexion. The expected “Baby Glow” can happen for some, and the beautiful radiant skin may occur for a few weeks, but what happens after? Due to hormone changes; break-outs, acne, dryness, alopecia, hyperpigmentation like melasma, stretch-marks, and vascular changes like spider veins are likely to occur. With most treatments contraindicated for people on this fertility journey, it’s difficult to achieve clear, healthy, glowing skin, but hopefully here’s a guide to help!

*I always recommend discussing the treatment with a medical profession to not over stimulate the skin.*

Dermaplanning facial is a safe and deep, mechanical exfoliation of the skin that helps remove peach fuzz (fine vellus hair) that is produced.

OXYGENEO 3-in-1 facial is a luxurious exfoliating and super hydrating way to treat the skin, including LED Light Therapy- has safe and holistic benefits.

Dermaroller with serum; *This treatment requires an assessment by an experienced professional and a specific length of Dermaroller to not risk over hyperpigmentation production. Can be an at home treatment, this is an incredibly efficient way to help serums penetrate the dermis, therefore allowing super hydration while producing the healing cascade that helps produce collagen and minimize fine lines. 

Hydrating facial is a gentle and soft treatment that includes the ultimate hydration mask including LED light therapy.

Gua Sha facial massage includes lymphatic drainage that can help with swelling and puffiness, and using hyaluronic acid gel for increased hydration.

Hope these treatments and techniques can help guide you to radiant, angel-baby, glowing skin! 🖤
