Skin Care After Pregnancy 

In the first days after given birth, women are often overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for her newborn baby. In the weeks and months following, it can be difficult for mothers to find time to care for their own health and wellbeing. At the Harley Institute Institute, we proudly provide professional non-surgical skin care treatments for men and women in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Dr. Harley and her team of experienced experts enjoy helping women recovery their beauty and vitality through all stages of life. We understand the difficulty that new mothers have with balancing their new obligations of parenting with their own needs. Skin care issues are common after pregnancy, and we want to help you look and feel your best. Here are a few ways that you can restore your youthful complexion post-partum. 

Common Post-Partum Skin Care Problems

Hormonal fluctuations, unusual diet combinations, and the physical stress of carrying a child for nine months can all contribute to the range of skin conditions experienced by women during and after pregnancy. Some of the most frequent problems include adult acne, dry itchy skin, spider and varicose veins, discoloration due to melasma, stretch marks and more. Conditions can fluctuate wildly as hormone levels dip and rise, making pregnancy related skin problems difficult to treat using conventional means. 

Tips for Your Daily Skin Care Recovery

The first step to reviving post pregnancy skin is to be patient and establish a daily beauty routine. After giving birth, our schedules can be very chaotic. The lack of sleep combined with emotional and hormonal swings, can make it hard to prioritize basic skin care practices. Be sure to take the time for cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing each day, preferably in the morning and in the evenings. If you need to treat specific problems, you can include the application of serums or masks. Always include SPF in your moisturizers and cosmetics to ensure protection from harmful UV rays. 

Professional Treatments that Can Heal Skin After Pregnancy

For some, more severe problems arise, such as extreme cases of melasma or a bad case of acne that won’t go away. Some people experience an extensive amount of stretch marks or varicose veins that makes them feel uncomfortable or lose self-confidence. In these situations, there are professional treatments and therapies available to help ease your skin problems without resorting to cosmetic surgery or dangerous medications. At the Harley Institute Institute, we offer laser therapy for stretch marks, spider veins and melasma. Our team also provides microdermabrasion, chemical peels and PRP treatments for acne or dry skin. If you’re finished breast feeding and are still experiencing problems related to imbalanced hormones, our bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can also offer relief.
