Can I get micro-needling treatments while pregnant?

The answer is no. It’s generally recommended to avoid micro-needling treatments during pregnancy. While there isn’t a lot of research on the direct effects of micro-needling during pregnancy, many skincare professionals and experts advise against it due to a few reasons:

1. Increased Skin Sensitivity: Pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive due to hormonal changes, and micro-needling can sometimes cause irritation or reactions that may be heightened.

2. Infection Risk: Micro-needling creates tiny punctures in the skin, and there is a potential risk of infection or irritation, which might not be ideal when your immune system is slightly more compromised during pregnancy.

3. Unknown Effects: Since the procedure involves stimulating collagen production through tiny needles, the potential risks to both you and your baby are not well understood.

   
   

   In conclusion, your baby will steal all of the nutrients you need for healing.
