Practically all profile specialists are unanimous that during the passage of pregnancy certain manipulations and procedures with your body are contraindicated. Moreover, even if the procedure seems harmless at first glance and there are no direct contraindications for it, we strongly advise you to consult with your obstetrician-gynecologist, who knows all the nuances of your pregnancy.
Injections
Due to the fact that during pregnancy there are deep reorganizations of all body systems, any injections, except for those that are directly prescribed by your doctor, are prohibited. For example, due to an increase in the volume of circulating blood, the likelihood of bleeding increases. And serious changes in the hormonal background make this procedure unpredictable.
In addition, in order for the packaging of the drug to be written "Allowed during pregnancy", the manufacturing company is obliged to conduct numerous and very expensive tests of each drug separately. And including - on a group of pregnant women. All these tests, in the overwhelming majority, are simply not carried out. And not only because it is expensive, but also because they simply do not have the required number of people willing to take risks.
Thus, all procedures that are associated with the introduction of drugs under the skin with needles are directly contraindicated for pregnant women.
However, we will add a barrel of honey to this spoon with sea salt: there is absolutely harmless therapy for a pregnant woman’s body without needles, using an apparatus Pro2Son. This is a point effect of oxygen flow with individually selected serum, which penetrates deep into the pores of the skin, cleansing them and exerting a lifting effect on the skin of the face.
Procedures that violate the integrity of the skin
Due to the fact that we are talking about excessively aggressive and toxic effects on the skin, against the background of hormonal changes in the body of pregnant women, such procedures as laser resurfacing and peeling, medium and deep peels using chemical preparations, as well as mechanical dermabrasion. If you neglect the prohibition and, in spite of everything, carry out the desired procedure, in response your skin may give an inadequate answer - in the form of the appearance of various age spots that may not go away even after pregnancy.
Epilation
The epilation procedure itself is quite painful, even when the body is not under stress. We will not even take into account the fact that during pregnancy all procedures are more painful due to the constant restructuring of the body. The fact is that concomitant pain can lead to an increase in uterine tone, which can provoke the threat of abortion. So, everything is very serious!
Purge
Any cleaning where electric current is used is forbidden: galvanic, ultrasonic and mechanical cleaning. It is for this reason that procedures using the darsonvalization method are prohibited.
Physiotherapy procedures themselves, which are not related to cosmetology, are widely used, even during pregnancy, if required by medical indications. However, you should not abuse the trust of your body when it is already difficult for him, and experience it with additional loads associated with aesthetic procedures.
But! If you just can not do without cleaning, you can use vacuum methods. There are no contraindications associated with pregnancy.
Massage
Even such a useful procedure as a massage is allowed only if there are no contraindications: preeclampsia, the threat of termination of pregnancy ... If there are no contraindications, the expectant mother can be given lymphatic drainage or local therapeutic massage based on the testimony of the doctor. For example, lymphatic drainage massage reduces puffiness, improves lymphatic circulation, serves as prevention of varicose veins of the legs, which very often accompanies the passage of pregnancy. Local massage relieves muscle spasm and fatigue in the upper back.
It is forbidden to massage the most suffering area of the back during pregnancy - the lower back. General body massage is also strictly prohibited.
Spa
You should be very careful with hot wraps. But cold ones are even recommended. And yet, all of these procedures must be performed by professionals who have experience working with pregnant women. You should also pay attention to the funds that are used in the procedures - they should not contain ingredients hazardous to pregnant women.
All sorts of bath rituals, natural and sparing peels, wraps are allowed and are very welcome. However, even they can be carried out only after consulting with your doctor and in a very gentle manner.
Sauna and bath
A high-temperature Finnish sauna and a Russian bath and gentle hammams are contraindicated even for those who regularly visited them, not to mention those who visited them episodically.
You can visit the sparing hammams, but again, those who have visited them regularly before, and if there are no obstetric contraindications.
Every woman wants to look attractive, even in such a difficult and responsible period as pregnancy. But it should always be remembered that at this time you are responsible not only for yourself, but also for the baby, who is very sensitive to what is happening to you.
