  1. Facials: It's completely safe to go for a facials but you need to be a little cautious about the products. You're best go to treatments are ones with natural or toxic - free facials rather then chemical based facials. Also keep in mind that your skin will be more sensitive during pregnancy. electric currents, chemical peels or treatments like microcurrent are not recommended.

  2. Laser hair removal: is not recommended for expectant mothers. Not only has there not been enough research to show if LASER is harmful for the baby but also an expectant's mothers hair growth is not in it's normal phase, so you'll be fighting an endless battle of unpredicted hair growth.

Keep the laser hair removal treatments for after the baby is born.

Aromatherapy Massage: An expectant mother deserves to be pampered through massage treatments, especially with all the aches and pains we all go through, not to mention the constant need of being tired. Massage is completely safe during pregnancy when performed by an experience therapist. But it is important to keep away from essential oils and some oils can bring on early labour.


Pregnancy skin problems and solutions


Dry, Dull Skin; The most common sign of pregnancy is dry skin, which can be caused by a lack in hormones to fight off rust and oiliness. Your body's natural oils go towards nurturing the baby so you'll end up with more mature looking locks after giving birth!

The best way around this issue? Keep your skin nourished and well moisturised at home with an oil based cleanser and treat yourself to a hydrating facial such as our PuraPeel hydra-dermabrasion,


Pigmentation and Melasma; When you are pregnant, your body releases Environmental Hormones that can stimulate pigment-stimulating hormones. These in turn cause melasma - large patches of discoloration appearing on the face due to hyperpigmentation or skin irritation from increased photosensitivity . The postpartum period often brings about an improvement but taking care for yourself during pregnancy will help alleviate any long term problems

Preventing is not easy when it comes to pregnancy hormones but using SPF daily can help reduce the risk of pigmentation Alongside our PuraPeel hydra-dermabrasion treatment which includes a safe and effective peel to use while pregnant keeps pigmentation at bay.


Adult Acne; You may notice an increase in oil production during pregnancy which can lead to breakouts - especially around the chin, jawline and cheeks. It's important NOT to extract these blemishes as scarring left behind could lead to hyperpigmentation and discoloration for your skin tone!
