@mels_essentials: It’s usually an emotional moment at the clinic when I tell our pregnant mamas that they can’t do a lot of procedures😫 People not qualified: ⬇️⬇️❌❌ 1. Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women ❌ Not Qualified For: • Botox and Dermal Fillers • Chemical Peels (Medium/Deep) • Laser Treatments (Hair removal, resurfacing) • Microneedling with active ingredients or PRP Why: • Potential risk to the baby through systemic absorption or unknown side effects. • Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make skin react unpredictably. • No sufficient clinical trials on pregnant/lactating women. 2. People with Severe or Untreated Diabetes ❌ Not Qualified For: • Microneedling • PRP • Chemical Peels • Laser Resurfacing 💡 Why: • Slower wound healing. • Increased risk of infection, scarring, or pigment changes. 3. People on Certain Medications (e.g., Accutane, Blood Thinners) ❌ Not Qualified For: • Chemical Peels • Laser Treatments • Microneedling • Injectables (Botox, Fillers) – if on blood thinners 💡 Why: • Accutane (Isotretinoin) causes skin thinning and increases risk of scarring and delayed healing. • Blood thinners increase risk of bruising and bleeding. • It is recommended to stop Accutane for 6-12 months before invasive aesthetic treatments. • #pregnancysafeskincare • #pregnancyglow • #glowingskintip • #breastfeedingskincare • #safeskincareroutine • #pregnancybeautytips • #cleanskincare • #skincareduringpregnancy • #FacialForPregnantWomen • #postpartumglowup • #aestheticiantiktok #skincareeducator #skinexperttiktok #pregnancyskincare #pregnancyskin #beforeandafterfacial #aesthetician #chemicalpeel #microneedling #lagosaesthetician
