NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT
Pregnancy-Safe Treatments
We know that changes in the skin during pregnancy and breastfeeding are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance or feel of the skin during this time.
Our clinic can provide consultations about cosmetic skin care during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss cosmetic options that may be appropriate within the clinic’s scope of practice.
No treatment is automatically suitable for all pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and any change in appearance or comfort cannot be guaranteed.

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:
- review your medical history, medications and relevant health information
- examine the treatment area
- explain the proposed procedure, limitations and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed
- discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications
Risks associated with procedures may include:
- redness or swelling
- dryness or peeling
- skin sensitivity or irritation
- pigmentation changes
- infection or delayed healing
- temporary muscle weakness
- uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes
Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.
Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
Depending on your stage of pregnancy or breastfeeding, medical history and current advice from your doctor, your practitioner may recommend options such as conservative facials, certain gentle peels, LED for suitable candidates and home-care guidance using products selected with this life stage in mind. Some people may be best served by a simplified home routine alone.
A number of actives and devices are commonly deferred during pregnancy and breastfeeding (for example, certain strong peels, high-energy devices and specific topical ingredients). The exact list can vary based on current medical guidance and your obstetric care. Your practitioner will explain which options are not being offered for you at this time.
Pigmentation in pregnancy (including melasma) is often hormonally influenced. In many cases, the focus is on conservative care, gentle skincare and strict sun protection, with more intensive pigment programs delayed until after pregnancy and after discussion with your doctor. Your practitioner can outline what may be reasonable to consider now versus later.
Breastfeeding also requires careful consideration of products and procedures. Plans are tailored case-by-case, taking into account your feeding pattern, your medical history and any advice from your GP or obstetric team. Please tell your practitioner if you are breastfeeding, planning to breastfeed or changing feeding status.
We strongly encourage shared care. In many situations, it is helpful for you to discuss proposed treatments or ingredients with your GP, obstetrician or midwife, especially if you have pregnancy-related complications, high-risk pregnancies or existing medical conditions. Your practitioner may recommend that you obtain medical advice before proceeding with certain cosmetic treatments.
