Beautiful Brows & Lashes never recommend treating pregnant or breastfeeding women. This includes brow lamination, last lifts, tinting (including our Hybrid Stains) and waxing.

With morning sickness, swollen ankles and fluctuating hormones, pregnant women may be craving beauty treatments more than most! However, to prioritise the baby's health, the safest option is to avoid procedures altogether. If a reaction were to occur, it would place too much risk on the developing foetus and too much liability on the technician. This advice also applies to women who are breastfeeding. Read below to discover why...

There are several reasons why brow laminations and lash lifts are not recommended for pregnant women:

1. Reactions: Should a reaction occur, the medication the woman may need to take could interfere with any pregnancy medication they are already taking. A reaction could occur at any time, which is why it is safer to avoid treatments altogether. 

2. Chemical Exposure: Our Lash Bomb and Brow Bomb (like all lamination systems) contain chemicals that can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. These chemicals could potentially harm the developing foetus. 

3. Skin Sensitivity: Pregnancy can make a woman's skin more sensitive and prone to allergic reactions or irritation.

4. Risk of Infection: Pregnant women should avoid any treatments that could increase their risk of infection. Infections during pregnancy can pose risks to both the mother and the foetus.

5. Positioning Concerns: Later in pregnancy, lying flat on the back for extended periods can put pressure on blood vessels and reduce circulation to the heart and the baby.

Pregnant women need to consult their healthcare provider before undergoing any beauty treatments. If you are a pregnant woman looking for treatment, always ensure that the technician is aware of your pregnancy so they can take appropriate precautions. Do not seek treatment unless your doctor approves.

2. Chemical Exposure: Our Lash Bomb and Brow Bomb (like all lamination systems) contain chemicals that can be absorbed into the skin and potentially into the bloodstream. There is a risk that these chemicals could be passed to the infant through breast milk. 

3. Skin Sensitivity: During and after pregnancy, a woman's skin can be more sensitive due to hormonal changes. This increased sensitivity might make the skin more reactive to beauty products, leading to irritation or allergic reactions.

Breastfeeding women need to consult their healthcare providers before undergoing any lamination treatments. If a breastfeeding mother does choose to proceed with a beauty treatment, she should inform the technician about her breastfeeding status so they can take any necessary precautions.
