Pregnancy and breastfeeding are transformative periods in a woman’s life, bringing joy and challenges. As new mothers navigate these changes, many seek ways to maintain their skin health and overall wellness. At Skinworks Wellness, we understand the importance of self-care during this time, and we’re here to guide you through safe skin treatments that can help you feel rejuvenated and confident.
Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can lead to various skin changes, including increased sensitivity, dryness, or oiliness. Many women experience conditions like melasma or acne due to these hormonal shifts. Therefore, it’s essential to choose treatments that are not only effective but also safe for both the mother and baby.
Here’s a detailed look at the treatments we offer that are generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding:
What it is
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation technique that uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. Once the dermaplaning is completed, you’ll receive a relaxing facial that is customized toward your specific skincare needs.
Why it’s safe
It’s a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t involve harsh chemicals or ingredients. The blade simply glides along the skin’s surface, removing the outermost layer.
Benefits for new moms
What it is
Our signature facial is a fully customized treatment designed to address your specific skin concerns. It includes deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions (if needed), a customized mask, and hydration.
Why it’s safe
We carefully select pregnancy-safe products with gentle ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and botanical extracts. We avoid harsh chemicals and ingredients that are known to be unsafe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Benefits for new moms
What it is
This facial is designed to refresh the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin tone and texture. It alternates between warming and cooling sensations to stimulate circulation and promote a healthy glow. It is especially great for anyone with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Why it’s safe
The combination of hot and cold is gentle enough to be used on all skin types, including sensitive skin, which often comes with pregnancy. The masks used are botanical-based and calming.
Benefits for new moms
What it is
This is the dermaplaning procedure on its own, without the full facial.
Why it’s safe
Just as with the Dermaplane Facial, this is a safe exfoliation option because it is non-invasive and uses no harsh chemicals.
Benefits for new moms
What it is
Hair removal using wax.
Why it’s safe
Waxing is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it doesn’t involve systemic absorption of chemicals.
Important Considerations
What it is
Laser facials use targeted laser energy to address specific skin concerns like pigmentation, redness, and fine lines.
Why it can be safe
Some laser treatments are considered safe during breastfeeding, as they don’t affect milk production or quality. However, not all lasers are safe during pregnancy. One safe laser is the AdvaTX 1319 nm, which is also used in the Fire & Ice Facial.
Crucial Considerations
What it is
The glow facial is a combination of a dermaplane, laser facial, and enzyme treatment. This facial utilizes enzyme masks, which are gentle exfoliants derived from fruits and vegetables. They break down dead skin cells without being harsh on the skin.
Why it’s safe
Enzyme masks are typically made from natural ingredients that are safe for both mother and baby.
Benefits for new moms
While we take great care in selecting safe products, it’s also important to be aware of ingredients that should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding:
