Pregnancy Facial
Balance and brighten your skin during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding with our pregnancy facial at So Medical Aesthetics in Colchester.
What Is A Pregnancy Facial?
During pregnancy, some women notice an improvement in the health of their skin. However, other women may find that their skin gets dry, blotchy, sensitive or become prone to acne. At So Medical Aesthetics, our pregnancy facial can help address these common skin concerns.
Known clinically as a hydropeptide facial, this treatment is for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It uses products free from retinoids, salicylic acid and other chemicals that aren’t recommended during pregnancy to ensure the safety and health of both you and your baby.
It deeply hydrates, nourishes and exfoliates the skin using a safe and effective combination of 60 different peptides, antioxidants and vitamins. Combined, these ingredients tackle dryness, soothe inflammation and restore the natural glow that can be lost with pregnancy.
Above all else, our pregnancy facial is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience that leaves you feeling pampered and refreshed. It’s the perfect self-care treat or gift for a loved one.
In our clinic in Colchester, we also provide a range of other FACIALS that can help to rejuvenate your postpartum skin.
What Happens During A Pregnancy Facial?
During your pregnancy facial, we’ll first cleanse and tone your skin using collagen boosting peptides. This step balances and brightens. Then, we’ll apply a blueberry peel to remove any surface layer debris, rejuvenate and hydrate the skin.
Following this, we use a nourishing, anti-redness soothing balm to protect your skin barrier. We’ll massage the skin to improve circulation and finish with a blueberry calming mask to firm, relieve congestion and restore your glowing complexion.
You can also add manual extractions of blackheads and milia to your pregnancy facial, as well as lymphatic drainage for the face and body to help reduce puffiness, water retention and improve circulation.
