Facial device
Hi! Any pregnant ladies here use personal skin care facial devices? Is it safe for us to use?

Generally basic facials and some device-based treatments can be tailored to be pregnancy-safe, so it's not a hard no across the board, but it really depends on the specific device and what it does. Someone in my mum group mentioned that treatments like dermaplaning are usually considered fine to continue, while things like strong electrical current devices or deep radio-frequency treatments are the ones most facialists will advise skipping during pregnancy. Honestly, I'd say go for gentler options and always tell your facialist upfront that you're pregnant, because a good one will adjust the treatment or swap out any iffy steps without you even having to ask. That said, since every pregnancy is different, it's really worth checking with your gynae or doctor first before booking anything, just to be sure.
Read moreHi mum, I actually became more careful with facial devices during pregnancy because there are so many different types and not all work the same way. Simple cleansing devices are usually what most people feel more comfortable continuing, but for devices with heat, radiofrequency, microcurrent, LED or stronger treatments, I would personally check first before using. Pregnancy is one of those times I rather play safe than regret later. Maybe check the exact device with your gynae or the brand directly since they usually have pregnancy guidance for their products.
