Skin Changes During Pregnancy

Pregnancy often brings a mix of skin changes, from hormonal breakouts and pigmentation (melasma) to dryness, sensitivity, and that classic “pregnancy glow.” These shifts are driven mainly by changing hormone levels and can make your skin behave differently than usual. While certain treatments should be avoided during pregnancy, there are many safe and effective options available to help calm breakouts, support sensitive skin, and keep your complexion healthy and radiant throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Common Skin Concerns During Pregnancy

Hormonal Breakouts

Fluctuating hormones can trigger acne, especially around the chin and jawline.

Melasma (Pigmentation)

Also known as the “mask of pregnancy,” melasma shows as dark patches on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.

Sensitivity & Redness

During pregnancy, skin can become more reactive, leading to irritation or flare-ups. For some, this may also worsen existing redness or rosacea due to changes in blood flow and hormone levels.

Dryness & Dehydration

Hormonal shifts and increased demands on the body can leave skin feeling dry, itchy, or flaky.

Pregnancy Safe Skin Treatments

Sonophoresis Skin Infusion

This treatment uses soundwave technology (without electrical current during pregnancy) to push active serums deeper into the skin. It boosts hydration and helps calm sensitivity, supporting a healthy glow while being completely safe for mums-to-be.

My skin is glowing and has a plump feeling after treatments

Nadine

My skin started to feel softer and softer

"I had never had a Microdermabrasion before, but after having my consultation and treatment, I am definitely more aware of my skin. After a few days, my skin started to feel softer and softer. I'd love to get this treatment a few times a year now."

Lena

My face is quite glowy

"I found the B12 mask quite soothing and calming. My face is quite glowy after. Woke up to beautiful skin the following morning."

Keri

My skin felt amazingly soft and smooth

"The Microdermabrasion wasn't painful, just unusual and tickled in some areas! My skin felt amazingly soft and smooth after the treatment, my Skin Therapist was amazing too! I am really happy with the results and would definitely recommend this to a friend. I hope to have this treatment every 4 - 6 weeks now!"

FAQ's

How does pregnancy affect skin?

Pregnancy hormones can cause changes like acne breakouts, dryness, pigmentation (melasma), or increased sensitivity. These shifts are common and temporary, but can affect how your skin looks and feels throughout pregnancy.

Is it safe to have skin treatments while pregnant?

Yes — but only certain treatments. At Caci, we recommend gentle and safe options such as Microdermabrasion, Hydradermabrasion (no current) Sonophoresis skin infusions (with no current) and the Skinsmiths B12 Hydrating Facial. These support healthy skin without risk during pregnancy.

Can I treat pigmentation or melasma during pregnancy?

Melasma (often called the “mask of pregnancy”) is common, but it’s best to focus on prevention and gentle management until after birth. Daily SPF is essential, and hydrating facials or skin infusions can help. Stronger treatments like peels or lasers are usually postponed until after pregnancy.

What skincare should I avoid while pregnant?

Skincare with retinol, strong acids, or certain prescription ingredients should be avoided. Our skin experts can recommend safe alternatives to keep your skin glowing and balanced.

Can pregnancy acne be treated?

Yes, but gently. Safe in-clinic options like hydrating facials, microdermabrasion, or skin infusions (with no current) help manage breakouts without harsh products. Skincare tailored for sensitive or hormonal skin can also reduce flare-ups.

What’s the best way to keep my skin healthy during pregnancy?

Focus on hydration, gentle cleansing, and daily SPF. Combine this with safe treatments designed for pregnancy to support comfort and confidence in your skin. After pregnancy, we can create a full plan to treat any lingering pigmentation, breakouts, or sensitivity.
