\"Pregnant<\/a>Pregnancy is a time filled with excitement, nervousness, and joy.<\/strong> Along with these exciting emotions often come other, not so pleasant, effects of pregnancy like acne and facial skin discoloration.

Glycolic Gel Peels and Clear Pore Facials<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> performed in the office are also safe for treating acne during pregnancy and will clear acne more quickly than topical agents alone. GLYTONE Mini Gel Peel ($60)<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> is good for busy mothers who cannot find time for a professional facial or peel appointment. For deeper, stubborn pimples, called acne cysts, injections of diluted steroid medication are extremely effective, or for a home use device try Tanda Zap ($50)<\/span><\/a>,<\/strong> which gives a non-painful burst of safe, antibacterial blue light.

Post-partum is a time of adjustment \u2013 to your new bundle of joy and changing body.

Lines on the forehead and around the eyes can quickly be smoothed away with neurotoxin injections like Botox<\/span><\/a>\u00ae<\/sup>, Dysport<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00ae<\/sup>, and Xeomin<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00ae<\/sup>. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane\u00ae<\/sup>, Perlane\u00ae<\/sup>, JUV\u00c9DERM\u00ae<\/sup> Ultra, and JUV\u00c9DERM\u00ae<\/sup> Ultra Plus<\/span><\/a> can easily be injected into unwanted lines around the mouth to soften them.<\/strong> Facial discolorations can be improved with q-switch laser treatments and cosmeceutical topical agents. Unfortunately, pregnancy also wreaks havoc on a women\u2019s body leaving unwanted pockets of fat and loose skin.
