My friend's wedding is coming and i wanted to get a facial done, the parlour lady suggested high frequency one. But im 5 months pregnant so a bit hesitant. Did anyone do this during preg?
I can only tell you what I did—I personally avoided all machine-based beauty treatments and high-frequency facials when I was expecting. I just felt safer sticking to home-made besan and curd packs for my skin care. It gave me peace of mind, which was my top priority.
When my toddler was in my belly, I wanted to go for a high-frequency facial for my pregnancy acne but my salon refused saying it's not safe. I just did simple organic cleanup instead. Looking back, it was a good decision because safety of the baby comes first, and the skin cleared up on its own later anyway.
High-frequency facials are not recommended during pregnancy because of the electrical currents involved. It is always better to be cautious and avoid these treatments until after delivery. You can opt for simple, natural fruit facials or basic cleanups that don't use any machines.
Honestly, I am so tired in my 3rd trimester that even sitting in a salon chair sounds like hard labor, let alone a high-frequency facial! But seriously, my doctor said a big NO to any electrical current treatments on the face right now. Stick to normal fruit facials and just get some sleep, that's the best glow anyway!
I recently delivered my baby, and during my pregnancy, I had the same question. My aesthetician and gynac both told me to strictly avoid any devices that use electrical currents, like high-frequency or galvanic facials. I just got a basic hydration facial with safe organic products and it was totally fine.
Why play with electrical currents when our hormones are already giving us enough shocks? Better to skip the high-frequency stuff and go for a nice, relaxing head massage instead. Keep it simple and safe for your little one!
