At Dermathetics in Farringdon, our in-clinic treatments target the skin and body changes that often follow pregnancy, including pregnancy acne, melasma, loose skin, stretch marks, and pelvic floor concerns. With a free in-clinic body consultation, our expert practitioners will recommend the best solutions to restore your confidence. Below, we answer your key questions about post-pregnancy skin changes and our tailored treatments.
Post-pregnancy, your skin and body may not immediately return to their pre-pregnancy state due to hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, and physical changes. Common issues include:
● Pregnancy Acne: Hormonal fluctuations and stress can trigger breakouts, affecting around 40% of women.
● Pregnancy Melasma: Increased melanin production causes facial hyperpigmentation, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip, impacting about half of pregnant women.
● Dull, Tired Skin: Hormone changes, postpartum anaemia, and lack of sleep can leave skin looking lacklustre.
● Excess Weight: Stubborn fat may linger despite diet and exercise.
● C-Section Shelf: Excess skin or fat above a C-section scar can persist.
● Stretch Marks: Rapid skin stretching followed by weight loss creates indented scars.
● Loose Skin: Reduced elasticity and rapid weight loss post-birth can result in sagging skin.
● Stress Incontinence: Weakened pelvic floor muscles may lead to urine leakage during activities like coughing or exercise.
These changes stem from:
● Hormonal Shifts: Drive acne, melasma, and dullness.
● Skin Stretching: Pregnancy expansion disrupts collagen and elastin, causing stretch marks and loose skin.
● Weight Changes: Rapid gain and loss affect skin and fat distribution.
● Childbirth: Weakens pelvic floor muscles, contributing to incontinence.
● Lifestyle Factors: Sleep loss and stress exacerbate skin concerns.
Our Dermathetics medical practitioners assess these factors to create a personalised treatment plan.
At Dermathetics, we offer effective solutions for each concern, available after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Start with a free in-clinic body consultation to find the best option:
● Pregnancy Acne: Obagi Blue Peel Radiance or tailored Obagi skincare refreshes and clears skin.
● Pregnancy Melasma: Prescription Obagi Nu-Derm, overseen by our practitioners, targets hyperpigmentation effectively.
● Dull, Tired Skin: The Hydr02 facial restores glow, while Profhilo injections hydrate and rejuvenate with hyaluronic acid.
● Excess Weight: Fat freezing permanently reduces stubborn fat on the stomach, arms, or thighs in a single session.
● C-Section Shelf: Aqualyx® fat-dissolving injections, administered by our doctors, target localised fat pockets over multiple sessions; fat freezing addresses broader areas.
● Stretch Marks: Resurfacing laser smooths scars by boosting collagen production.
● Loose Skin: Radiofrequency treatments tighten facial or body skin; our Mummy Tummy Makeover combines microneedling or laser with radiofrequency for a non-surgical stomach solution.
● Stress Incontinence: The FDA-approved Emsella Chair strengthens pelvic floor muscles with electromagnetic technology, equivalent to 11,000 pelvic floor exercises per session, completed over a course of treatments.
Note: Severe sagging may require surgical options, which we don’t offer; our practitioners will advise accordingly.
