At all times, girls and women sought beauty and grooming. Smooth, silky skin has always been considered one of its elements, therefore, new methods of removing unwanted vegetation both on the face and body periodically appear on the cosmetic services market.
Pregnancy and Depilation
Pregnancy is a great time for every woman, but even in this period she wants to look good. Every future mom asks herself a question about what can be done and what is not while carrying a baby. Will this or that procedure harm her baby? Let's try to find the answer together.
Favorable periods for hair removal
The entire course of pregnancy can be divided into several trimesters. In the first period, the embryo is fixed, so it is better to refuse depilation at this time. Pain can trigger a contraction (tone) of the uterus, which can lead to miscarriage.
Second trimester - time is already calmer. The child has entrenched and continues its development and formation. In the body of a woman, the amount of the hormone estrogen and progesterone increases, which contribute to a decrease in sensitivity. During this period, you can begin to do depilation.
The third trimester is also perfectly suitable for carrying out the procedure for removing unwanted vegetation, but the level of hormones is increased, and this can lead to increased skin pigmentation.
Shugaring and pregnancy
Carrying a child is a difficult and sometimes unpredictable time. During this period, as we already said, there is an increase in the level of hormones in the blood, which can lead to active hair growth. Sometimes they begin to grow in places where previously there was only a light fluff (for example, in the navel area). Sooner or later, there comes a time when it is already difficult to cope independently with the removal of unwanted vegetation. In such a situation, even the girls who had done without this procedure before, begin to think about visiting a professional master.
Shugaring during pregnancy is the most preferred way to get rid of unnecessary vegetation.
Pros of the procedure
The named procedure has indisputable advantages:
- Suitable for any type of skin, even for the most sensitive. The composition of the pastes includes only natural ingredients.
- Sugar paste does not cause allergies.
- Shugaring during pregnancy does not cause severe pain.
- It cannot cause a burn. The paste is heated only to room temperature, which, by the way, helps to reduce pain from the procedure.
- Does not provoke hair ingrowth.
- Does not cause skin irritation. After a depilation session, the skin remains smooth and clean, without red spots and inflammation, since sugar paste has an additional disinfecting effect.
Shugaring during pregnancy has another huge plus. During the bearing of a child, the load on all organs and blood vessels of the body increases, and very often a woman begins to suffer from varicose veins. This disease is a contraindication for some types of depilation (for example, waxing), however, shugaring remains an affordable method. The heating temperature of the composition is low, and after application to the skin it quickly cools.
What is shugaring?
The named method is hair removal using sugar paste. The procedure allows you to get rid of unnecessary vegetation for up to one month.
Pregnancy shugaring will still require skin preparation. This will not be difficult and will not take much time. Use a scrub a day or two before the session. This will remove the dead skin and free the existing ingrown hairs.
Procedure
Removing hair with sugar paste does not take much time:
- The first step is the degreasing of the skin, which is done using specialized lotions.
- After that, sugar paste is applied to the skin, warmed to room temperature.
- Removing the composition. It can be carried out in two ways: with your hands or with special strips.
- The final stage of depilation is the application of a composition that will relieve irritation and soothe the skin.
Pregnancy shugaring can have its own characteristics. When choosing a lotion, the master will prefer one that is less likely to cause you to have allergies or skin irritation. The very procedure of hair removal will be carried out with special care and caution.
General contraindications for shugaring
As with any procedure, there are also contraindications here:
- Skin diseases of varying degrees.
- Infectious diseases (for example, herpes).
- Lactation period (breastfeeding).
- Hypersensitivity to the skin.
Shugaring Bikini During Pregnancy
The bikini zone is the most sought after treatment area for pregnant women. The reason for this is the inaccessibility of places, because in the later stages of conducting an independent depilation becomes a rather complicated procedure.
But, despite the safety of the described method, it is better to find out whether pregnancy shugaring during pregnancy or not is better with your doctor. If he confirms that nothing threatens the health of the future baby, then feel free to go to the procedure.
Master attitude
Be prepared that some difficulties may await you in the salon, especially if this is the first time you are contacting this master.
With those who did the procedure before pregnancy, the masters will work more willingly, because what the procedure is, they already know the level of pain they represent. And the master knows you, your skin and can avoid possible unpleasant situations. But do not forget to warn the specialist about your situation before the session, because he must be as attentive and careful as possible.
For those who do everything for the first time, it’s more difficult. Not every master will decide to do inexperienced client shugaring during pregnancy. After all, this is a big responsibility. Especially if you are in the initial stages. Some large salons even take written consent from the visitors to carry out the procedure. If you decide to do a bikini shugaring during pregnancy, then this will be especially responsible for the master, because this zone is most sensitive. If there is discomfort or too active movements of the baby, the session is better to interrupt.
Can shugaring be done during pregnancy?
And yet, when several conditions are met, you can not worry and feel free to go to the procedure.
- You previously visited the attending physician, and he confirmed that the pregnancy passes without complications, and the procedure will not harm you.
- You have already done shugaring before pregnancy.
- You have a few days left before the birth and your visit is a preparation for the birth process. In this case, even at the beginning of preterm birth, nothing terrible will happen, because the baby is already formed and very little remains before his birth.
Doctors Research
Numerous studies and interviews with doctors confirm that hair removal during pregnancy will not harm the unborn baby, and in some cases it can even be useful. This is due to an improvement in the emotional background of the mother, because during pregnancy the hormonal background is unstable, and the mood often changes. Therefore, a visit to a cosmetology office can have a positive effect and both will lift the mood of the girl herself and will positively affect her future baby.
Thus, there is nothing to worry about in the procedure of hair removal during the period of gestation, and shugaring is the most effective and harmless way.
