What cosmetic procedures can not be done during pregnancy

At this time, at the peak of popularity, this approach to women in positionwhen it is believed that they can eat, drink and do whatever, if the pregnancy is proceeding normally. Of course, except for the use of alcohol, cigarettes, drugs and other dangerous or antisocial actions.

Indeed, you can resist prejudice and play sports, travel, paint your hair and nails, but there are a number of procedures that pose a potential threat. It's best to avoid them at this stage in your life.

1. Injection procedures at a beautician

There are two sides to this coin - and both are dangerous. Firstly, there are no studies that would confirm the safety of botox, fillers, mesotherapy and biorevitalization for the health of the unborn baby.

Secondly, the body of a pregnant woman is significantly rebuilt, the hormonal background changes, and therefore the effect of such rather serious procedures may be the most unexpected.

As a result, instead of beauty and rejuvenation, you can get allergies, swelling and inflammation.

2. Deep peeling, fruit acids

Peeling by a beautician is not the same as scrubbing your face with a scrub at home. This is a skin-traumatic procedure that, under normal skin conditions, promotes its renewal, but in pregnant women it can lead to bad consequences.

In pregnant women, the skin heals worse after peeling, allergies and severe pain from the use of fruit acids are possible.

3. Retinol cosmetics

If you come to a beautician in the first trimester of pregnancy, be sure to warn him about your situation and refuse to use cosmetics with retinol (vitamin A).

Means with retinol have a good anti-aging effect, but for a pregnant woman, an excess of the concentration of vitamin A in the organism is extremely undesirable. This can lead to fetal malformations.

4. Essential oil treatments

Natural essential oils are very active: their components penetrate deeply into the skin, enter the bloodstream and can cross the placental barrier.

But for a baby, the intake of such substances is extremely undesirable and can be dangerous.

Essential oils should also not be used during the first year of a baby if you are planning to breastfeed.
