Have you been told you just have to "wait it out" when it comes to pregnancy skin concerns ? Or that everything from pigmentation to redness, sensitivity and hormonal changes are simply off-limits to treat until after you've finished breastfeeding?
In this episode, Cosmetic Physician and mother of two, Dr. Cosima Karlburger, breaks down exactly what is and isn't safe when it comes to skincare and treatments during pregnancy. From debunking internet myths to explaining why doctor led practices matter, Dr. Cosima delivers evidence-based guidance you can trust.
Discover which treatments are safe across each trimester, including advanced laser technologies, chemical peels, innovative oxygen therapy masks, lymphatic drainage systems for fluid retention and professionally compounded serums that deliver clinical results without contraindicated ingredients and anti-inflammatory supplementation that can support your skin throughout pregnancy.
Dr. Cosima also addresses the psychological "what if" factor that influences treatment decisions and shares the ethical considerations behind why certain invasive aesthetic procedures are contraindicated during pregnancy.
She emphasises that taking a preventive approach to skin health during pregnancy means you can emerge on the other side without facing a mountain of damage to repair.
Whether you're newly pregnant or planning to conceive, this episode empowers you with practical, compassionate guidance so you can maintain healthy, glowing skin without compromising safety.
Taking care of your skin during pregnancy isn't vanity, it's about maintaining your sense of self and well-being during one of the most transformative periods of your life.
