Hi everyone, today we are going to talk about pregnancy safe skin treatments and skincare that we have available at The Medi-Shed.
Pregnancy is such an exciting journey, but let's be honest, it can also leave you feeling a little lost when it comes to skincare and treatments often being told you can’t have anything or use certain products while you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
As someone who talks to patients every day, one of the most common questions we hear is:
“Can I have any treatments while I am pregnant or breastfeeding?”
The good news is that you don't have to stop caring for your skin. In fact, it's often the perfect time to focus on nourishing, protecting and supporting your skin barrier with products and treatments that are both effective and suitable for use during pregnancy.
At The Medi Shed, we're proud to stock a fantastic range of pregnancy friendly skincare from Obagi, helping you maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout pregnancy and beyond. And we now have a device based treatment you can have too!
Here is the list of products you can use. As always we suggest you see myself or Dil for a skin consultation first so we can suggest products that meet your concerns.
Our pregnancy-safe cleansers include:
Obagi Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser
Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel
Obagi-C Cleansing Gel
Each offers effective cleansing while respecting the skin barrier, leaving your skin feeling fresh and comfortable rather than stripped or tight.
Pregnancy-friendly Toners include:
Obagi Nu-Derm Toner
Obagi-C Balancing Toner
These lightweight formulas help refresh the complexion and support healthy skin function.
Pregnancy can sometimes leave skin looking dull or uneven, but gentle exfoliation can help restore radiance.
Suitable options include:
Obagi Nu-Derm Exoderm
ZO exfoliating polish
These products help smooth and brighten the skin while supporting a healthy complexion, allowing you to achieve that sought after pregnancy glow.
Serums, (my favourite being NuGen) are a wonderful way to target specific skin concerns while keeping your routine simple.
Our pregnancy-safe serum selection includes:
ElastiDerm Facial Serum
ElastiDerm Advanced Filler Concentrate
Nu-Cil BioStim Scalp Serum
Nu-Gen Cellular Renewal Serum
Whether you're looking to support skin elasticity, hydration or even scalp health, there are options to help you feel your best during every stage of pregnancy. The eye area is often one of the first places to show signs of tiredness, something many parents know all too well!
Pregnancy-safe eye products include:
ElastiDerm Eye Cream
ElastiDerm Complex Eye Serum
Daily Hydro-Drops Rejuvenating Eye Gel Cream
These products help hydrate and refresh the delicate eye area, leaving you looking brighter and more awake. Hormonal changes can leave skin feeling dry, tight or unpredictable, making hydration more important than ever.
Our favourite moisturisers suitable during pregnancy include:
Obagi Hydrate
Obagi Hydrate Luxe
Obagi Hydrate Light
Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops
ElastiDerm Lift Up & Sculpt Facial Moisturiser
These nourishing formulas help support the skin barrier, lock in moisture and leave skin feeling soft, supple and healthy. Daily SPF is one of the best investments you can make in your skin, pregnancy or not.
We recommend:
Obagi Sun Shield Tints
These broad spectrum sunscreens help protect against UV, IR and Blue Light damage while being comfortable enough for everyday wear. The tints are quick and easy especially once you are a busy parent.
Listed below in the link is the Obagi routine we recommended for our lovely patient Dianne Buswell which was designed to enhance her pregnancy glow while keeping skin healthy, calm, and completely pregnancy & breastfeeding safe. However as every face is unique we advice a bespoke regime tailored to you:)
Here's Dianne's 6-step routine below:)
EMFUSION TREATMENT
Now you can also enjoy the benefits of the Emfusion treatment!! We are absolutely thrilled to share that our brand new treatment, Emfusion, is pregnancy and breastfeeding safe.
This is huge!! For so many years, pregnancy has meant putting many device based skin treatments on hold. But Emfusion changes that. Designed to support skin longevity, Emfusion works by helping to maintain and strengthen the skin barrier while supporting the skin's natural calcium gradient, a vital component in healthy skin function and repair.
The result?
Healthy, resilient skin with a beautiful glow.
EmFusion is ideal for mums who want to:
Maintain healthy skin throughout pregnancy
Strengthen and repair their skin barrier
Improve hydration and radiance
Invest in long term skin health
Enjoy a relaxing treatment without worrying about safety
The Medi-Shed is one of the very few clinics in the UK to offer this latest generation technology, placing us at the forefront of modern regenerative aesthetics and skin longevity treatments. We are also proud to announce that we will be undertaking clinical trials and treatment studies using EMFUSION, helping contribute to the growing evidence base behind advanced barrier restoration and skin longevity therapies. This reflects our commitment not only to offering innovative treatments but also to advancing the science behind them.

Also, if you would like to simply relax and be pampered Amy can also tailor her Lift and Sculpt Ritual to make it pregnancy safe for you. Using the previously mentioned Obagi products she will make this a hands on treatment designed especially for you (just minus the radio frequency). Pure relaxation with a hint of reiki to relax you. (Most patients fall asleep)

Because becoming a parent shouldn't mean putting yourself last. At The Medi-Shed we believe every parent deserves to feel confident in their skin, whatever stage of life you are in. With carefully selected pregnancy safe skincare and innovative treatments like Emfusion, we're here to support you every step of the way.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding or planning your skincare journey, we'd love to help you build a routine that's safe, effective and tailored to you. Because glowing skin isn't just for after baby, it's for every stage of parenthood.
With Love,
Amy and Dil xx
