Being a mother is a beautiful journey that many individuals take on and can be one of the greatest pleasures life has to offer. However, whilst pregnancy gives you the precious gift of life, the impact of hormonal changes can also have a detrimental effect on your hair, skin, and body.
As a mother, your body goes through massive changes to accommodate your pregnancy.
Changes to your body from pregnancy
Face
Due to the drastic changes in hormone levels from pregnancy, it can affect your skin. Common skin conditions include dry patches, excess oil, acne/congestion, or hyperpigmentation such as Melasma.
Hair
It’s very common to lose up to a third of your hair around the time your baby is three months old. The high hormone levels you experience during pregnancy causes excess hair growth, so when the hormone levels decrease again after birth it can cause some hair loss.
Body
The stomach can often have skin laxity and stretch marks, in addition to changes in shape and size of breasts due to breast milk and breastfeeding.
Treatment options effective for pregnancy
Whilst all these changes are completely natural on your journey towards motherhood, all mothers recover differently. Medaesthetics® has curated some simple and non-invasive procedures for mothers looking to improve their skin, hair and body.
Hydrafacial
This treatment is a non-invasive, pain free facial designed to cleanse, exfoliate, rehydrate and nourish the skin. Vacuum suction is combined with various tips and serums that are infused into the skin, then LED is used to stimulate collagen, has a healing and anti-inflammatory effects. This treatment is ideal for anyone with dryness, excess oil, congestion, acne/breakouts, dehydration, and general skin maintenance.
Skin Needling
Direct skin needling uses microneedles on disposable tips to penetrate the skin, creating micro wounds to stimulate collagen and rejuvenate the skin. Excellent for acne scarring, superficial fine lines and wrinkles, and minor sun damage. We infuse various serums into the skin while needling, which is tailored to your concerns/skin goals. Our options include anti-aging, vitamins A, B and C, carbohydrate gel, de-pigmentation, anti-inflammatory and acne solutions. LED is used post treatment to accelerate the healing process.
Dermafrac
A three-in-one skin treatment including microdermabrasion, micro skin needling with serum infusion, and LED Healite. Great for skin rejuvenation, improves fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, and general skin maintenance.
Treatment options post pregnancy
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
This procedure involves the use of a natural, purified protein that relaxes facial muscles which cause expression lines. There is also little to no downtime required with this procedure.
Dermal Fillers
Our doctors and nurses offer advance dermal filler facial-contouring techniques, gentle injecting techniques, and will ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible with the use of numbing agents if desired.
Monalisa Touch
Monalisa Touch™ is the world’s first non-hormonal treatment of vaginal rejuvenation. Medaesthetics® started offering this service back in 2014, being one of the first clinics in Perth to do so. This procedure can be useful in helping vaginal dryness and laxity.
Thread Lift
This is a delicate cosmetic procedure that gently lifts sagging facial skin, returning it to its original contours; it’s a less invasive method to the surgical face lift.
