Post Baby

After giving birth, a woman’s tummy undergoes significant changes due to the stretching of the skin to accommodate the growing baby. This can lead to several skin concerns, including stretch marks, pigmentation changes, sagging, and a loss of skin laxity.

Service Description

To effectively recondition the skin and address concerns such as sagging, loss of firmness, and stretch marks, a more advanced approach may involve ablative treatments to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. This process helps to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin texture, tightening, lifting, and smoothing the skin for a more youthful appearance. Treatment sessions are typically recommended every 2 to 4 weeks to achieve optimal results, depending on individual needs and goals.

Our team of experts will create a personalized protocol tailored to your unique post-pregnancy skin condition, whether for the face, body, or both. This customized approach ensures that each treatment is aligned with your specific concerns, ensuring maximum efficacy and comfort.

After completing a series of treatments, women often report feeling more confident and satisfied with their post-baby bodies. The skin typically appears firmer, smoother, and visibly more toned, with a reduction in the appearance of stretch marks and an overall improvement in skin texture and elasticity. This can contribute to a more youthful, rejuvenated look, leaving women with a renewed sense of confidence and comfort in their own skin.

After giving birth, a woman’s tummy undergoes significant changes due to the stretching of the skin to accommodate the growing baby. This can lead to several skin concerns, including stretch marks, pigmentation changes, sagging, and a loss of skin laxity. Stretch marks appear as the skin stretches beyond its normal elasticity, leaving visible scars. Pigmentation changes, such as darkening of the skin (often called the “linea nigra”), may occur due to hormonal fluctuations. As the abdominal skin and muscles stretch, they often lose their firmness, leading to a saggy appearance and reduced skin tightness.

Laser skin tightening and conditioning treatments can help address these concerns by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin. The heat from the laser penetrates deeper layers of the skin, promoting tightening and improving elasticity, which helps reduce sagging. Over time, this encourages smoother skin with improved texture, minimizing the appearance of stretch marks and helping to even out pigmentation. Additionally, laser treatments can enhance skin conditioning by improving overall tone and firmness, making the tummy look  more youthful and rejuvenated.

Post care

  • Day of treatment: We kindly ask you to leave the Gel Application that the therapist has put in the clinic room for the next 24 hours. (If you need to pray, a splash of water is fine)
  • Next Day: Use Cetaphil or any gently cleanser with no Acids to rinse your face gently for 10 to 30 seconds, twice a day, AM + PM with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry. Do not rub!
  • Apply stratcel and Bapanthen am + pm for 3 days.
  • Optional: Apply Enlighten Serum or Vitamin C (both pigment inhibitors) every day and night until the bottle runs empty.
  • After 3 days Apply Occlusiderm + Stratacel all over the face morning and Night for 7 to 10 days.
  • Apply SPF50+ in the morning.
  • After 7 or 10 days, depending on your downtime, you can resume your skincare routine.
  • If any crusting or scabbing occurs, use Occlusiderm more often. Do not let your skin dry out. Dryness causes pulling on the new skin underneath, which may cause red, irritated areas. Apply your moisturizer gently – Do not rub it in hard. This should reduce tightness and make you more comfortable.
  • Do not worry if all of the ointment/moisturizer doesn’t come off when you wash; it won’t harm your face to leave some on. Do not pick or rub your skin! Your dark old skin (which will peel off) initially serves as a protective bandage, which protects the fresh new skin underneath.
  • It is important that you try to sleep on your back to avoid rubbing the skin off your chin or check area prematurely.
  • If you have any unexpected irritation or possible infection, call the 0460778605 immediately. This is especially important if you are developing crusted yellowish areas appear on your face.
  • You must not pick or rub your skin.
  • Do not go out in the sun at all while crusting or peeling – even for 5 minutes. After the laser treatment, wear sunscreen daily. Use a Covid Mask to Cover up
  • Do not use any other creams or ointments (such as bleaching creams, Retin-A, or glycolic acid) until or if you instructed by us or a professional.
  • Tip: After 4 days stand longer in the shower and let the steam loosing the scabs or peeling. With pressure use your palms or finger tips and rub slowly and hard, you should start to feel skin crumbs fall off
