Earlier, some ten or fifteen years agoago, when a girl found herself in an interesting position, they tried to protect her from everything that could harm the child. Future mothers were forbidden to dye their hair, use cosmetics, or get haircuts. Depilation or epilation during pregnancy was especially not allowed. Of course, modern beauties, who are used to always looking their best, do not like this state of affairs. Therefore, many of them continue to take care of themselves, despite all the warnings. After all, they are convinced that pregnancy is a natural state of a woman, not a disease. Of course, there is some truth in this. However, in reality, everything depends on the method of hair removal on the skin, sensitivity and term.
Indications and contraindications
Who should remove hair RemoveBikini area hair growth is recommended for all girls without exception. And it doesn't matter whether the beauties are in the early stages or there are only a few days left before giving birth. This is one of the basic rules of personal hygiene. But what to use - a razor, cream, wax or laser - depends on the condition of the pregnant women. Therefore, it is recommended to take tests, undergo a full examination, and be sure to visit an endocrinologist and gynecologist. Who should not do hair removal As for contraindications, these are:
- Skin problems - cracks, scratches, etc. First, we need to find out why the integrity of the cover has occurred, which is why such entities have arisen.
- Allergy. Some agents include aggressive ingredients that can cause burns, itching, irritation. During pregnancy, the sensitivity to such ingredients increases several times. Therefore, even if earlier you did not have similar problems, the chosen remedy before epilation is still worth testing on a small area of the skin.
- Diabetes. During the gestation period, a serious hormonal boom occurs in the mother's body, which in itself is very dangerous. Pregnant girls who are ill with such a dangerous disease should be more cautious and take their health seriously. Because there is a high probability of miscarriage.
- Herpes, viral-infectious diseases. In such cases, you will be refused depilation, even if you do not plan to become a mother.
- Mental disorders or stress. If you have a bad mood, you always have nightmares or you are depressed, it is better to delay with the removal of hair.
How to deal with hair on the body?
These methods of hair removal are the most common. But not all of them are acceptable for expectant mothers.
- Waxing
The speed of the procedure, the high result, whichlasts at least two to three weeks - this is just a small list of why girls prefer to use wax. In the first months of pregnancy, expectant mothers can do hair removal themselves at home. In the last stages, when the stomach does not allow you to bend over and twist to treat the bikini area, it is recommended to visit a specialist. If you have recently learned that you are pregnant, you must warn the cosmetologist about this. In this case, he will work more carefully, slowly and listen to your feelings. Before removing vegetation in the bikini area with wax, ask to show you the composition. It is better to overpay a little and use an organic product without chemicals and additives. In the salon, you can choose phytoresin, hot or cold wax. Which option is better to choose depends entirely on your wishes and preferences. If you are used to one method, you should not experiment with others. In any case, during hair removal, when a large area of \u200b\u200bvegetation is pulled out with one sharp movement (against hair growth), it will be incredibly painful. As a result, the pregnant woman's body produces a double dose of stress hormone. There is a risk of miscarriage, especially if there are any complications.
- Electrolysis
A special device produces an electric soundan impulse that acts pointwise on the follicle and destroys it. Unfortunately, even the strongest girls cannot always withstand this procedure. During pregnancy, hair removal in this way is strictly prohibited, even if the client is completely healthy.
- Laser Hair Removal
Opinion on whether it is possible to dolaser hair removal, diverges. Some experts say that if the bikini area is treated correctly, there will be no serious consequences. It is not for nothing that this procedure is considered safe and painless. On the other hand, any aggressive impact on the body of the expectant mother can lead to shock and miscarriage. In addition, laser hair removal is not suitable for everyone.
- Photoepilation
Treat the bikini area with photoepilationIt is also not recommended for pregnant women. The fact is that this method has only recently been used, so it is difficult to predict its consequences. After all, the most important thing for expectant mothers during this period is to exclude any, even minor and barely noticeable side effects.
- Hair removal epilator
This type of hair removal is extremely important during pregnancy.is not recommended if you use regular electrical appliances. There is a high probability of pain shock. You can remove hair in the bikini area using a trimmer or a special device designed for working on delicate areas of the body. Usually, they have a limiting attachment that allows you to do intimate haircuts or capture a small amount of vegetation. It is recommended to apply a regular moisturizer to the skin beforehand to reduce the pain of the procedure. Please note that only special products that will not irritate the mucous membrane can be used for the bikini area. And, of course, be sure to test the product on the elbow. If after five minutes there are no signs of allergy, you can safely proceed with epilation.
- Hair removal cream
As strange as it may sound, chemical depilationin the bikini area is not prohibited. And this is despite the fact that such a cream in any case contains aggressive substances. The fact is that the active components affect only keratin. As a result, the rod is destroyed, and the hair falls out on its own. All this does not penetrate the inner layers of the epidermis. Convenient, practical and inexpensive - these three advantages speak for themselves. As for the disadvantages, there are also many of them in this case. Even using a proven cream, you can get an allergy. Fragrances, dyes and additives are to blame for everything, thanks to which the mixture smells nice. Try to choose natural products that would contain as few fragrances as possible. Another disadvantage is that the result after chemical depilation lasts much less than, for example, after treating the bikini area with wax. A regular cream may not cope with thick hair. Pregnant girls should not use strong products.
- Shaving
In most cases, gynecologists advise theirpatients shave the bikini area instead of epilating. This method is highly safe and affordable (both financially and physiologically). There are no contraindications or hidden threats. The only thing is, if you have sensitive skin or ingrown hairs after shaving, use a special cream. Never treat the problem area dry. As a last resort, use soap, shower gel, etc. Otherwise, you cannot avoid scratches and irritation.
Precautionary measures
If you're afraid of wolves, don't go into the forest.If you still prefer to epilate your bikini area with wax, laser, etc., you need to do it wisely. To minimize all risks and avoid some unpleasant consequences, try to follow the established rules.
- Before and after the procedure, do not visit places withhigh humidity and high temperature. Exclude for a while hiking in the solarium, swimming pools and similar establishments. It is also not recommended to bathe in the sauna and sauna.
- After the treatment of the bikini zone, do not use cosmetics for the first couple of days (moisturizing and nourishing creams, perfumes containing fragrances, etc.).
- The remaining or overgrown hairs can be removed after a week with a razor. Re-use the epilator, wax or a special cream for depilation is not worth it.
- Epilation during pregnancy should be performedonly in specialized beauty salons. Do not contact informal institutions that work with low-quality products. Calculate them very simply, just look at the prices. Usually they are two to three times lower than in other cosmetology rooms. Before starting the procedure, be sure to check the availability of certificates and documents confirming the legality of the services provided.
- Pay attention to cleanliness and order. Only use sterilized accessories and attachments. Remember once and for all: the master should only work with disposable gloves that get and put on the client. After the procedure, they are immediately thrown into the garbage.
- If after a visit to the beauty salon on the bodythere will be a rash, be sure to go to the dermatologist. In such establishments it is possible to pick up an infectious or viral disease. At an early stage, getting rid of a similar problem without harming the fetus is much easier.
Caution, it's dangerous!
As you can see, the statement regarding the fact thatepilation during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, has a scientific basis. It is especially dangerous to do waxing or treat the bikini area with an electrical device that works on the principle of tweezers. The pain can cause shock, as a result of which the body will begin to produce substances that are dangerous to health. Depression, apathy and bad mood are the least that awaits a girl in this case. Therefore, for a while it is still recommended to forget about ultra-fashionable and expensive procedures. It is better to resort to the old grandfather's method that our mothers and grandmothers used - shaving with a regular razor. To prevent hair from growing too quickly, use a special cream.
