Can I have aesthetics treatments whilst pregnant? This is the question I probably get asked the most by expected mothers throughout pregnancy and whilst most of ice-led treatments and injectables are all mostly contraindicated throughout pregnancy there are things we can do. Skincare, we can look after your skin, there are huge changes that happen to our skin during pregnancy and we don't have to ignore or neglect it all and just let it happen.
We've got some amazing brands here at Wellface specifically the Is Clinical range all of which are safe for use during pregnancy. So they're non-systemic so we can even incorporate the ingredients such as retinol or vitamin A, the vitamin C, salicylic acid in a safe way to help manage the skin, help with your skin changes throughout this journey. And of course not forgetting regular monthly facials whether it's the fire and ice or the foaming enzyme, these all help manage your skin and encourage those gentle changes to happen so that when baby is here your skin is ready and it's safe for us to start treatments.
