Pregnancy Safe Cosmetic Treatments
At Deep Blue Med Spa, we are dedicated to providing effective treatments that nourish your skin during every stage of life. One question that our experts hear often is, “which treatments or products are safe to use during pregnancy?”
While we always recommend checking with your OB/GYN or healthcare provider before undergoing a service, there are several treatments that are generally considered safe during pregnancy. In addition, a number of our gentle skincare products can be used to help you maintain healthy skin while expecting and/or nursing.
Pregnancy-Safe Skin Care Treatments
We offer a variety of cleansing, revitalizing, and hydrating facials that can address pregnancy related complexion changes and help you maintain your natural glow.
Pregnancy Safe Facials
- Signature Facial
- Brightening Facial
- Optimum Hydration Facial
- Detox Treatment
- Collagen Glow Facial

Pregnancy Safe Aesthetic Treatments
Skin rejuvenation treatments that are typically pregnancy-safe include dermaplaning and microdermabrasion. Both of these treatments can be scheduled as a standalone procedure or added on to a facial to address complexion concerns like dryness or hyperpigmentation.
At Deep Blue Med Spa, we use high-quality hard wax that is hypoallergenic for facial waxing treatments. This service can typically be started or continued during pregnancy.
Pregnancy Safe Skin Care Products
A comprehensive skincare routine is a great way to nourish and pamper yourself during pregnancy. In general, most products that are offered at Deep Blue Med Spa are pregnancy-safe, including all Vitamin C serums and sunscreens. However, you should still check with your provider and OB/GYN to be sure.
Specific products that we often recommend during pregnancy include:
