Breastfeeding-Safe Skincare & Beauty Treatments
Safe, Effective, and Nourishing Skincare for Breastfeeding Mothers
Breastfeeding is a time of significant changes, including those in your skin. Hormonal fluctuations can cause dryness, breakouts, pigmentation, and sensitivity, making it important to choose safe, non-toxic treatments and skincare products. At PRFCT, we offer a range of breastfeeding-safe facials, microneedling, PRF injections, and hydration-focused treatments to help you maintain healthy, glowing skin without compromising your baby's well-being.
Microneedling
Skin needling is not new, but it is newly popular in the United States—specifically, San Diego. Needling the skin to stimulate new collagen has been used in Europe for at least two decades. Also called Collagen Induction Therapy, microneedling is based on the ability of the skin to repair itself.
