If you’re looking for ways to improve your overall health and sense of confidence before, during, and after pregnancy, let’s go through some of our essential pregnancy med spa treatments in Lincoln at Citrine Med Spa that are sure to give you the results you’re looking for.

Before Pregnancy

Motherhood comes with a host of physical (and emotional) changes to your body, but you can properly prepare for these changes by taking preventive steps to more easily adapt to the progress of your pregnancy.

At Citrine, we focus on a series of pre-pregnancy treatments, including Botox®, Dysport®, and Halo laser treatment.

Regardless of our age or appearance, we all are going to be subject to wrinkles. Wrinkle relaxing medications can be a faithful ally to safeguard your skin from worrisome wrinkles as you venture into pregnancy. By relaxing targeted muscles, you’ll be priming your skin for the sort of elasticity that will leave your skin looking bright and healthy before and after your pregnancy! It’s a key resource to a complete mommy makeover.

It’s important to know, however, that Botox and Dysport should be used before your pregnancy begins. Because of the toxins within these treatments, they can pose certain risks that ought to be avoided while pregnant. Our providers at Citrine are well versed on med spa safety protocols and can walk you through everything you need to know to keep your pregnancy safe!

Another powerful treatment option is Halo Laser treatment, a revolutionary device that offers both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits in one convenient package.

Halo laser treatment is the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser, which combines advanced cooling technology with FDA-approved ablation treatments to offer you all of your desired results with minimal downtime or discomfort!

Further, it can improve fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage discoloration, enlarged pores, skin texture, as well as improve your skin’s overall appearance. It’s an ideal choice prior to pregnancy.

To ensure that you receive the highest quality treatment that is specific to your needs, every treatment plan begins with a virtual skincare consultation. Citrine’s skincare consultation includes a full VISIA® skin analysis beforehand, as well as a review of your medical history to ensure the treatment plan  is tailored specifically to you.

During Pregnancy

Once your pregnancy journey begins, it’s important to have the kind of non-surgical med spa treatments that are safe for both you and your baby. At Citrine, we’re committed to best practices; we offer several treatments that can give you the results you’re looking for while prioritizing safety. Here’s a look at what Citrine offers as pregnancy med spa treatments in Lincoln.

Microneedling

Citrine is proud to say that we are the first in Lincoln to offer Virtue radiofrequency microneedling.

Microneedling is designed to elicit your body’s natural healing response in your skin. With its gold-coated needles, Virtue RF promotes healthy skin by increasing production of collagen and elastin. Unlike traditional microneedling devices that are associated with bleeding and social downtime, this new form minimizes downtime and side effects. The sophistication of this device allows the radiofrequency to be turned off when needed, making it a safe treatment option during pregnancy.

Virtue  can treat skin-related issues like acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, postpartum skin laxity, and stretch marks. All of which can be treated in sessions lasting between 15 to 60 minutes.

Another helpful treatment during pregnancy is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections.

PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are widely sought after because of their profound ability to heal and repair targeted parts of the body using your body’s natural resources. PRP itself is a concentration of plasma that contains more platelets than what is typically found in the blood. 

These platelets are rich in growth factors, which can promote healing and tissue regeneration. Our providers can use PRP injections to treat a variety of conditions, such as wrinkles, and thinning hair. We inject the plasma into the target area, where it begins to work almost immediately.

Another considerable factor about PRP injections is that we can customize treatment to each individual patient. The plasma used in the injection is derived from the patient’s own blood, so it is completely natural and free from any synthetic materials. This also helps to reduce the risk of side effects. Overall, PRP injections are a safe and effective way to improve your appearance and address any health concerns you may have.

To support your med spa treatments, whatever they may be, we also provide personalized skincare regimens to our patients, extending the progress of your mommy makeover with the work we do at Citrine.

After Pregnancy

The period after pregnancy to a postpartum body can be a difficult transition. It’s pretty incredible what your body has accomplished over the last 9+ months. But it can also mean learning to deal with the side effects that our bodies have been left with.

Citrine’s med spa treatments are a competent solution to body changes postpartum, and when your pregnancy is complete, everything we have to offer is on the table. It’s time to get your pre-baby skin back!

Melasma treatments

Let’s start with treating melasma, otherwise known as the “mask of pregnancy.”

Melasma is a common skin disorder that can affect various parts of the body; between 50% and 70% of pregnant women will experience it. Melasma typically appears in the form of light brown or gray patches on the skin and can sometimes appear like freckles. Given that pregnant women will have increased levels of estrogen and progesterone, this is said to be a cause for experiencing Melasma. But this doesn’t have to be the end of your mommy makeover!

Our providers can treat Melasma with Halo laser treatment and Virtue RF microneedling, as mentioned above. These treatments aren’t limited to just one stage of your pregnancy, instead, they can be applied as soon as you’re no longer pregnant!

To maintain the progress of your Melasma treatment, Citrine also provides BroadBand Light (BBL) and BBL HERO® (High Energy Rapid Output™) treatments. BBL is a way of using bright light energy to heat the surface layers of the epidermis. This heat stimulates cell turnover, causing them to repurpose themselves and bring rejuvenation to your skin. The end result of a BBL photofacial leaves your skin clearer, smoother, vibrant, and younger-looking.

BBL HERO® (High Energy Rapid Output™) is BBL’s big brother and takes things to the next level. BBL HERO is a new, world renown technology added onto the BBL® system. It delivers 4x the speed, 3x the power, and 2x the cooling, making it the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, allowing it to address a variety of skin concerns!

Body Sculpting

Another med spa treatment after pregnancy is body sculpting through PHYSIQ Body Contouring

If your goal is to eliminate fat in hard-to-tone areas, PHYSIQ may be a great treatment for you. By using non-invasive electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), PHYSIQ works through STEP (Sequential Thermal & Electrical Pulse) Technology, which is exclusive to PHYSIQ. Both electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and a super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) can be delivered from one of the four applicators, triggering a flight response from fat cells.

To put this more simply, we’re using a really unique technology to activate stubborn fat cells that would otherwise require painstaking, time-consuming effort. Best of all, PHYSIQ is a hands-free treatment with no downtime, leaving you comfortable in the process! In all, this is a great way to see great results from a mommy makeover.

Body Maintenance

While our pre and post pregnancy med spa treatments at Citrine are incredibly powerful and effective, it can’t be understated how critical it is to maintain.

No matter where you are in your pregnancy journey, giving your body the good that it needs to thrive is key to maintaining healthy and vibrant skin. It might seem a little elementary, but documenting your diet can play a significant role in how you can improve your skin.

Another important step is to perform daily skin care. This can be as simple as putting on your favorite skin creams and moisturizers. Our skin is constantly exposed to harmful pollutants and ultraviolet light from the sun, so it’s critical that we take the necessary steps to keep our skin in check.

A simple skincare routine that you can perform at home might include the following:

  1. Cleanse: Knock out dead skin cells and bring your skin back to life.
  2. Exfoliate: It’s not required, but the benefits are worth the extra step.
  3. Hydrate: A light serum with hyaluronic acid will do the trick.
  4. Moisturize: Seal in all that goodness you’ve just put on your face.
  5. Protect: Mr. Sun works 24/7, so having a high SPF product is key.

This certainly isn’t an exhaustive process, but it can be incorporated into your daily routine with minimal effort on your part, and your skin will thank you for it!
