Treatments for women after giving birth are a taboo subject for many young mothers. The image of a young mother created by social media, but also by traditional magazines, has nothing to do with how a woman feels after giving birth. A perfect body two weeks after giving birth, full make-up, hair straight from the hairdresser's, an adorable baby who never cries, never pees, has clean, elegant, ironed clothes and a perfectly tidy home is a kind of 'better', unreal world. It is rarely so colourful. In the first few months of a child's life, we focus practically all our energy on the child and often forget about ourselves. This is a mistake we propose to rectify while there is still time. Nothing relaxes, energises and rejuvenates like a spa stay and doing something for yourself.
What postpartum treatments can you choose?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding very often appear as contraindications for cosmetic procedures. During pregnancy, many treatments are unavailable, whereas during breastfeeding or the perinatal period, the range of possibilities begins to expand. It is usually recommended to refrain from treatments for six to eight weeks after giving birth. Later, when choosing care, we should bear in mind the constant changes in hormonal balance, which make the skin more sensitive, vascularised or prone to discolouration. It is therefore worth taking care of the skin by modifying care and adapting to its new needs.
FACIAL TREATMENTS FOR THE YOUNG MOTHER
An invaluable vehicle for the brand's white cosmetics treatments Caudalie or Forlle'd is their safety for use during breastfeeding. A few weeks after giving birth, young mothers can already start using skin care treatments or treatments to combat various skin problems, such as excessive skin oiliness, dehydration, loss of firmness, etc. As part of the white cosmetics at the Quadrille Spa, different types of creams, sheet masks and more, scrubs and sera are applied according to the skin's needs. The treatment always includes a massage to relax the skin, and regular professional care and at-home products will keep it hydrated and nourished.
MASSAGES AND RELAXATION RITUALS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS
Post-pregnancy treatments do not always have to correct a problem. Just spending time at the Spa combined with body treatments can lift the mood and give a moment of respite. The variety of body work techniques available at Quadrille Spa gives newly pregnant mothers the opportunity to choose from classical, sports, cosmetic, anti-cellulite, therapeutic massage, manual therapy or strictly relaxation rituals, depending on their expectations. Beautiful scents, body scrubs, body lotions and the right amount of touch will relax your muscles and mind, regenerate your strength and relieve you of the negative effects of stress and sleep deficiency. Such treatments are a guarantee of incredible relaxation!
TREATMENTS FOR STRETCH MARKS AND SCARS
Skin after pregnancy may not be ideal. Very often, stretch marks appear on it as a result of weight gain and insufficiently elastic skin tissue. In addition, a newly pregnant mum may also have to contend with a sizeable caesarean section scar.
The Quadrille Spa's answer to these problems is the fractional treatment, which will erase the resulting imperfections using high temperature and an electrical pulse. This combination causes collagen fibres and elastin fibres to regenerate, resulting in smoother, firmer and stronger skin.
BODY CONTOURING TREATMENTS AFTER PREGNANCY
At Quadrille Spa we have non-invasive methods that will remove fat deposits, reduce cellulite and further firm the skin using safe and modern High-Tech technologies - vacuum massage, infrared and ultrasound. The best and recommended strategy for body contouring treatments is synergy. There is no single method that can be said to be the best, as each case requires an individual approach. Performing single treatments is sometimes not enough. A planned chain of therapies takes advantage of many possibilities including diet and movement. Quadrille Spa therapists rely on a multi-faceted approach, i.e. combining massages, beauty treatments and High-Tech along with a stay in our Cardio Room and swimming pool.
The arrival of a child in the world is a time of great change and one of the most significant moments in a woman's life. Let us remember that this time can bring more than just love and satisfaction. It also consists of adaptations to difficult situations, disappointments, fears and chronic fatigue. Young mothers in this flurry of responsibilities should not forget about themselves. Balance in parenthood can only be found if a kind of balance is struck between the needs of all members. This is why it is so important for young mothers to remember about themselves and their needs during this special but also exhausting time. So that she is not afraid to go out of the house for a while, leaving her little one in the caring care of her dad, to clear her head for a while in an area of relaxation, silence, without the noise of children. Remember - a healthy and happy mum, is a happy baby 😊.
