Pregnancy and childbirth lead to profound physiological transformations in women. The face is no exception : volumes change and certain wrinkles appear.
Changes in volume are due to fatigue, weight gain during pregnancy or rapid weight loss in the postpartum period.
Resting wrinkles are caused by tissue laxity.
Expression wrinkles, already present before pregnancy, reappear because maintenance treatments cannot be carried out during pregnancy : botulinum toxin injections are contraindicated during this period.
Dark circles are common after pregnancy, often exacerbated by lack of sleep and fatigue related to caring for a newborn. They give a tired and aging appearance, the look changes and new mothers no longer feel comfortable with themselves.
Injections of hyaluronic acid treat hollow dark circles. Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for blue and brown dark circles.
In some women, weight loss after pregnancy causes fat loss in the face and is responsible for hollow cheeks. The face appears gaunt and tired.
Hyaluronic acid injections restore lost volume, giving the face a fuller and more youthful appearance.
The decrease in collagen and elastin production during and after pregnancy reduces skin firmness and elasticity (loose skin). Weight changes cause the sliding of fat compartments. These two factors are responsible for facial laxity.
The face then appears tired and wrinkles become visible : the nasolabial fold and the marionette lines. Facial contours become less defined and jowls appear.
Treatment of laxity is performed using the medical lifting technique, which is one of the variations of the MD Codes. Hyaluronic acid injections are performed at strategic points to lift the face. The result is natural.
Wrinkle treatment complements the lifting technique : hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the wrinkle.
Weight gain during pregnancy makes the face rounder and the contours less defined. Aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques to slim the face and the 7/9 points shape technique will then be proposed.
Forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet, which could not be treated during pregnancy, will be smoothed with injections of botulinum toxin. The face is rejuvenated and the gaze opened, giving a more rested and relaxed appearance.
To reduce dark circles and bags, draining care such as gentle massages and the application of cold compresses are effective. The use of creams enriched with caffeine or hyaluronic acid helps decongest and hydrate the area. In aesthetic-oriented medicine, hyaluronic acid injections or laser treatments can correct more pronounced dark circles.
Hyaluronic acid injections are ideal for restoring lost volume in the cheeks, temples and nasolabial folds. Skinbooster and mesotherapy treatments also help deeply rehydrate the skin, restoring radiance and density to the face.
Yes, expression wrinkles can be treated with botulinum toxin injections to smooth the affected areas (forehead, crow’s feet). Mesotherapy treatments, gentle peels and microneedling sessions stimulate collagen production and progressively and naturally reduce fine lines.
LED light treatments are adjunct treatments to revitalize the skin postpartum. They stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, improve radiance and promote cellular regeneration. It is a gentle and non-invasive solution, ideal for tired and sensitive skin after pregnancy.
