Pregnancy Safe Treatments

Congratulations! You just found out you’re pregnant. Then reality kicks in, and you start to wonder, “What treatments can I have? What products are safe for my skin?” These are very common questions to ponder after finding out you’re pregnant. Of course restrictions will apply, but that’s okay! The good news is there are great options for skincare and treatments while pregnant.

What Is Off Limits?

When figuring out what treatments are safe while pregnant, it always helps to know what you need to avoid. Avoiding treatments that use acids like Glycolic acid, Salicylic acid and Retinoic acids are highly recommended. Also avoiding treatments involving Radio Frequency, Microcurrent and specific lasers are the safest. At this point we don’t have enough literature to determine whether or not these are considered safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it’s best to avoid.

What Is Allowed and Safe?

So, what can you do to keep your skin looking healthy and hydrated while pregnant? When it comes to treatments that use acids, Lactic acid is the safest for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Sulfur works great to treat breakouts during pregnancy.

If you need exfoliation, dermaplaning is a wonderful option. Dermaplaning is a great way to scrape off the layers of skin, as well as unwanted peach fuzz. Laser hair removal is the only type of laser so far that has been deemed safe during pregnancy.

Here at The Art of Anti-Aging, we have several options to help treat skin during pregnancy and give you a boost of self care. When it comes to skin care treatments and skin care regimens, we offer multiple customized options that are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The Dermaplaning Rejuvenation service, as mentioned above, is a fabulous skin treatment to help exfoliate and brighten the skin. Additional options are our facials, such as the Glass Skin Facial, Glo2Facial, and The Art of Anti-Aging Zen Facial. Eyebrow shaping and tinting can also be performed or added onto any service to help enhance your look! If you want a natural boost in energy and to help with the development of your baby’s brain, our B12 Vitamin shot is the perfect option for you.

*Remember to always check with your OBGYN before deciding to move forward with any type of skin treatment.
