Post-delivery, many women experience changes in their hair and skin, such as variations in skin texture, acne, and either hair loss or increased hair growth. These changes are often linked to hormonal shifts that occur after childbirth.

Physical changes can be emotionally taxing, affecting self-esteem and overall well-being. The changes can be particularly unsettling for first-time mothers who might not have expected these post-pregnancy shifts.

At FemStrong Health, we offer a multi-faceted approach to managing these post-delivery changes:

1. Plastic Surgery Consultations: Our plastic surgeon can offer consultations for skin-related concerns that may require surgical intervention or other aesthetic procedures.
2. PRP for Hair Loss: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment for hair loss. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. This procedure is minimally invasive and can be effective in treating hair thinning or loss.
3.  Nutritional Guidance: Nutrition can significantly impact the health of your skin and hair. Our dietitians can offer personalized nutritional advice aimed at improving these conditions.
4. Psychological Support: Our clinical psychologists are available to help you navigate the emotional toll that these physical changes can take, offering coping strategies and emotional support.
5. Integrated Care: Our strength lies in our integrated approach. For example, you might consult our plastic surgeon for aesthetic concerns while also receiving nutritional guidance to improve your skin and hair from within. 
6. Skin Changes: Changes in Skin Texture, Acne Can Persist or Change After Pregnancy

Hormonal shifts can significantly impact acne due to the interplay between hormones and the sebaceous glands in the skin. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance that helps protect the skin. Hormones, particularly androgens like testosterone, can stimulate these glands to produce more sebum. When there’s an excess of sebum and it mixes with dead skin cells, the pores can become clogged. This creates a conducive environment for bacteria to grow, leading to inflammation and acne.

Acne can affect self-esteem and contribute to postpartum depression. It can also complicate skincare routines at a time when new mothers are already adjusting to significant life changes.

At FemStrong Health, we approach acne treatment from a multi-disciplinary angle. Our plastic surgeon and hormonal specialists offer targeted treatments to balance hormones and manage acne effectively. This could include hormonal assessments, topical treatments, and lifestyle modifications. We also offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy which some find beneficial for skin rejuvenation.

By offering a comprehensive range of services, we aim to address both the physical and emotional aspects of post-delivery hair and skin changes. We encourage you to schedule a personalized consultation to discuss your specific needs and treatment options.
