Can ICOONE be performed while pregnant?

Can ICOONE treatment be performed during pregnancy?

Yes, the ICOONE treatment can be performed during pregnancy, but only from the third month onwards. It is essential to apply specific modifications and precautions to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. Laser and LED light technologies must be excluded, and massaging the abdomen and its surrounding areas is not recommended. When performed correctly, ICOONE can offer several benefits, such as improving microcirculation, reducing swelling, and helping to eliminate excess water retention in the body.

Why is ICOONE beneficial during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is often associated with various discomforts and physical changes that can affect both well-being and skin condition. ICOONE treatment, when applied to safe areas of the body, can support the mother’s body by:

Improving microcirculation
Increased blood and lymph flow helps oxygenate tissues and deliver nutrients, enhancing skin appearance and reducing the feeling of heaviness, especially in the legs.
Reducing swelling
Pregnancy often leads to water retention, causing swelling, particularly in the lower limbs. ICOONE stimulates lymphatic drainage, aiding in the removal of excess fluids and alleviating swelling.
Relieving skin tension
The treatment can help ease discomfort and tension caused by swelling and skin stretching, improving overall comfort and well-being.
Preventing skin issues
Regular ICOONE treatments can support skin elasticity, potentially reducing the risk of stretch marks on areas such as the thighs, hips, and buttocks.

Which body areas can be treated?

During pregnancy, ICOONE treatment can safely be performed on areas such as:

Legs (thighs, calves) – to reduce swelling and improve circulation.
Arms – to enhance skin firmness.
Back – to relieve muscle tension and discomfort.
Hips and buttocks – to support body contouring and help prevent stretch marks.

What should be avoided during the treatment?

Avoiding abdominal massage
Massaging the abdomen during pregnancy is not recommended due to the risk of stimulating muscles and blood vessels in this sensitive area.
Excluding laser and LED light technologies
The use of laser and LED light is not advised during pregnancy, as the effects on the developing baby are not fully understood.
Adjusting treatment intensity
The intensity of the massage should be gentle and tailored to the needs and comfort of the pregnant woman. Excessive stimulation or pressure could cause discomfort or overstimulation.

Consultation with a doctor

Before starting ICOONE treatments during pregnancy, it is advisable to consult with the obstetrician managing the pregnancy. The doctor can evaluate whether the treatment is safe and appropriate for the individual case. In situations such as high-risk pregnancy or other medical contraindications, the treatment may not be recommended.

The ICOONE treatment can be performed on pregnant women from the third month of pregnancy, provided that proper precautions are followed. Abdominal massage and the use of laser and LED technologies are excluded. The treatment can offer various benefits, including improved microcirculation, reduced swelling, and enhanced skin elasticity, contributing to the overall well-being of the mother.
