SPA for pregnant women

During pregnancy many women are concerned about stretch marks on the skin, pigmentation, rashes and swelling. The mood of the expectant mother often changes and every woman will always have her own reasons for this. However, there is one question that unites all the women expecting a child: will it be possible to maintain their former beauty and figure?

Spa treatments will help prevent all these troubles and at the same time improve health, relieve anxiety and get positive emotions. Care programs designed specifically for pregnant women are aimed at supporting the body of the expectant mother, improving the emotional state and reducing the likelihood of unwanted skin changes.

SPA features for pregnant women

A woman in anticipation of a child becomes vulnerable to some salon procedures. Her body requires a more attentive and careful attitude since the health of the unborn baby will largely depend on this.

So, during pregnancy it is contraindicated to take thermal procedures:

• hot wraps;
• thermal capsules;
• bath, sauna and hammam.

However, a woman who is used to taking care of herself will never refuse face and body care. Special spa programs will help her in this, for which pregnancy is not a hindrance. For the health of mother and baby will go:

• soft, superficial peeling;
• lymphatic drainage massage;
• cool foot wraps;
• special massage for pregnant women;
• body wrap masks that reduce the likelihood of stretch marks.

Facial skin care: peeling and chiromassage

During pregnancy only sparing procedures are indicated using hypoallergenic natural ingredients, preferably odourless ones.

One of the most enjoyable facial treatments is a massage. It tightens the skin, relieves muscle tension and gives positive emotions. Chiromassage is considered one of the methods of facial SPA massage aimed not only at preserving the freshness of the skin but also at harmonising the emotional background of a woman.

This is a unique Spanish technology in which the master works with the palms and forearms without the use of any tools. In terms of its effect the chiromassage method is not inferior to plastic cosmetology. At the same time, it has established itself as the most gentle and safe way of care which is suitable even for pregnant women.

As a result of the procedure:

• visibly tightens the skin;
• strengthens the contour of the face;
• puffiness goes away;
• relax facial muscles and tissues;
• skin cells are saturated with oxygen.

Body massage

SPA massage sessions for pregnant women are not only positive emotions and pleasant sensations but also a huge health benefit for a woman and her unborn baby.

The main effect of the procedure:

• increased blood circulation and supply of nutrients to the body of the foetus;
• relieve fatigue, anxiety and emotional stress;
• relief of pain in the muscles of the neck, back and lower back;
• swelling prevention.

SPA massage for pregnant women is performed taking into account the characteristics of the woman's body during this period.

• You can only massage the arms, legs and upper back.
• Massage movements should be directed from the peripheral parts of the body to the centre.

Lymphatic drainage

The procedure is aimed at removing excess fluid from the body, restoring venous stasis and increasing lymph flow. Light strokes and pressure help to stimulate the lymphatic system and as a result:

• increases the elasticity of the skin;
• blood vessels and capillaries are strengthened;
• relieve muscle tension and headaches;
• puffiness is removed;
• sleep is normalised;
• the emotional background is restored.

SPA wraps

The undoubted advantage of this procedure during pregnancy is that excess fluid leaves the body, tissues are saturated with useful minerals and microelements and mood improves.

An important condition for any cosmetic sessions for pregnant women is the use of exclusively natural, environmentally friendly formulations. With this in mind, expectant mothers are shown wraps based on:

• seaweed (saturate the body with iodine, potassium, magnesium);
• mineral mud (have a beneficial effect on the immunity of mother and foetus);
• clay (improves blood circulation, stimulates metabolic processes).

During pregnancy, any thermal procedures are contraindicated, therefore, cool wraps with one of the listed components are recommended for pregnant women.

The main benefit of spa wraps is the prevention of varicose veins in pregnant women. In addition, as a result of the procedure:

• relieves swelling of the legs;
• heaviness and fatigue go away;
• joints relax.

Spa is an ideal option not only to relax, get pleasant emotions and sensations, but also to preserve your beauty during pregnancy.
