Which medical beauty projects can't be done during pregnancy?

● Photon skin rejuvenation and fruit acid therapy.

Both treatments will cause certain irritation to the skin surface, with slight pain or itching, and the skin is more sensitive during pregnancy. If there is no relevant treatment experience before pregnancy, it is not recommended to make the first attempt during pregnancy. If you just bought a set meal and find yourself pregnant, it is recommended to stop during pregnancy and continue treatment after the second month.

● Invasive treatment, such as laser and picosecond.

Invasive treatment usually uses skin surface anesthetic ointment, which is easy to cause facial allergy. Moreover, invasive treatment may lead to pigmentation and slow recovery of wound infection after operation, and the skin is more prone to dullness and allergy during pregnancy, so it is generally not recommended to carry out related treatment during pregnancy.

Prohibit skin care ingredients

● Stimulus class

salicylic acid

Oral salicylic acid can increase the risk of fetal malformation. Although there is no clear test to prove that salicylic acid for external use has a clear teratogenic effect on the fetus, it is easy to cause skin irritation and allergy. It is more common in facial cleanser, toner, essence, cream and other products of acne series skin care products.

● Carcinogenic allergens

Benzophenone -3

Studies have shown that estrogen-like effects can lead to cancer and induce photosensitive diseases. At present, the FDA, the European Union and China have requirements for the concentration labeling of related products. Although it has not been banned, it is controversial. Common in chemical sunscreens.

● teratogenic class

1. Retinol (vitamin A)

High-dose oral intake of vitamin A by pregnant women can easily lead to fetal malformation. Long-term use can easily lead to local skin dryness and peeling, and increase the risk of skin sensitivity. It is recommended to use it with caution during pregnancy. More common in skin care products such as whitening or anti-aging.

2. Retinol palmitate (a derivative of vitamin A) is easily absorbed by the skin and converted into retinol. At present, there are cases of fetal teratogenesis in animal experiments, but there are no clear case reports in human pregnant women.

Can I use skin care products during pregnancy?

Yes. However, know the correct method before using it. China's "Hygienic Standard for Cosmetics" clearly stipulates that glucocorticoids, heavy metals, antibiotics, or keratin exfoliating agents with too high concentration shall not be artificially added to cosmetics. Therefore, as long as you choose regular skin care products, it is still relatively safe.

Generally speaking, it is enough for pregnant women to moisturize. Vaseline, lanolin, vitamin C, vitamin E, these are very safe ingredients, so you can use them safely.

There is no need to pursue special effects such as whitening, anti-wrinkle and acne, because these effects usually need to be achieved by adding specific ingredients, which are usually harmful to the fetus.

It is also not recommended to extract skin care products from pure plants. Plant extraction usually means poor purification and a lot of impurities, which makes it difficult to ensure non-allergy, thus posing a potential threat.
