Nourish and revitalize dry, dehydrated skin. Pregnancy and postpartum both draw heavily on your body's hydration reserves — and your skin shows it. This deeply hydrating treatment uses lactic acid and hyaluronic acid to infuse moisture at the cellular level, while kombucha-derived probiotics calm inflammation and Obagi Elastiderm promotes healing and elasticity. One of the most popular pregnancy safe facials in our San Jose studio, and appropriate at any trimester or postpartum stage including while breastfeeding.
Best for: Dry, dehydrated, or dull skin during pregnancy or postpartum. Ideal as a first facial if you're new to professional skincare.
Key ingredients: Lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, kombucha-derived probiotics, Obagi Elastiderm
Safe for: All trimesters. All postpartum stages including breastfeeding.

Melasma & Hyperpigmentation Treatment
Brighten and even your complexion. Melasma — sometimes called the "mask of pregnancy" — affects up to 70% of pregnant people and is one of the most common skin concerns we treat at the Village. Whether you're dealing with pregnancy-induced melasma, age spots, or inflammation-driven hyperpigmentation postpartum, this facial smooths and tones using Eminence's Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant and Mangosteen Lactic Acid Peel. Paired with Obagi Elastiderm to soothe and support healing, you'll leave with skin that feels calmer, smoother, and visibly more luminous.
Best for: Melasma, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and post-inflammatory discoloration from hormonal changes during pregnancy or postpartum.
Key ingredients: Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant, Eminence Mangosteen Lactic Acid Peel, Obagi Elastiderm
Safe for: Second and third trimester. All postpartum stages including breastfeeding. We recommend waiting until the second trimester for this treatment as lactic acid peels are used.

Hormonal Acne Treatment
Balance and calm hormonal skin changes. Pregnancy hormones are one of the most common triggers for adult acne — and most conventional acne treatments use ingredients that are contraindicated during pregnancy. This facial was designed specifically for that gap. A gentle, pregnancy-safe dual-mask treatment using Eminence's Eight Greens Phyto Masque and Strawberry Rhubarb Masque works to calm active breakouts without stripping or over-drying. Lactic acid exfoliates gently while Obagi Elastiderm promotes healing, leaving skin firmer, clearer, and balanced. No benzoyl peroxide. No salicylic acid. No retinoids.
Best for: Hormonal breakouts, pregnancy acne, postpartum acne, and oily or congested skin at any stage.
Key ingredients: Eminence Eight Greens Phyto Masque, Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Masque, lactic acid, Obagi Elastiderm
Safe for: All trimesters. All postpartum stages including breastfeeding.

Firmness & Fine Line Treatment
Restore firmness and reduce fine lines. The hormonal fluctuations of pregnancy and postpartum — and especially perimenopause — accelerate collagen loss and can leave skin looking and feeling less like itself than usual. This revitalizing facial focuses directly on collagen and elastin production using Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Eminence's Bamboo Age Corrective Masque to plump and nourish. Obagi Elastiderm and specialized eye treatments reduce puffiness and soften fine lines, leaving skin firmer, smoother, and genuinely rejuvenated. A favorite among our postpartum and perimenopausal clients at the Village.
Best for: Loss of firmness, fine lines, puffiness, and dullness associated with postpartum hormonal shifts or perimenopause.
Key ingredients: Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Eminence Bamboo Age Corrective Masque, Obagi Elastiderm, specialized eye treatment
Safe for: Postpartum (including breastfeeding) and perimenopausal clients. Not recommended during pregnancy — consult your provider if you have questions.

Why esthetics at the Village are different
Most spas will tell you a treatment is "pregnancy safe." At Adrouny Village Wellness, that standard means something different.
THE CLINICAL LENSE
Our esthetics program operates inside a wellness hub founded by Dr. Melissa Adrouny, OB-GYN — which means every service, every product, and every protocol has been evaluated through a clinical lens, not just an esthetic one. You won't need to research ingredients before your appointment or wonder whether something is truly safe for your baby or your postpartum body. That work has already been done.
PREGNANCY FIRST
Your estheticians understands the physiological changes happening at each stage — hormonal shifts, skin sensitivity, healing tissue, changing pigmentation — and treats accordingly. This is not a spa that added a "prenatal menu." It is a wellness community built from the ground up for pregnant, postpartum, and life-stage women, with esthetics as one expression of that care.

Meet the Estheticians Behind Your Pregnancy Safe Facial
Daisy
Licensed Esthetician | San Jose
"I love making people feel beautiful. Not just from their physical appearance, but from within."
Daisy has been practicing esthetics since 2023, with a focus on clients navigating the skin changes that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal shifts. She completed her esthetician training at San Jose City College and holds specialty certifications in dermaplaning, brow lamination, and manual facial lymphatic drainage — a technique particularly well suited to pregnant and postpartum clients dealing with puffiness, fluid retention, and sensitive skin.
Every appointment begins with a thorough consultation. Daisy reviews your current skincare routine, any product or food allergies, relevant health history, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding — so your treatment is fully customized before you ever lie down on the table. No surprises, no contraindications, no guesswork.
Her goal for every client is simple: leave feeling refreshed, worry-free, and genuinely better than when you walked in.
Frequently asked questions about pregnancy safe facials in San Jose
-
Yes — many facials are safe during pregnancy, but the products and techniques must be carefully chosen. Facials that use retinoids, high-strength salicylic acid, strong chemical peels, microcurrent, or radiofrequency should be avoided. At Adrouny Village Wellness, all prenatal facial treatments use only pregnancy-safe ingredients and techniques, and every protocol has been evaluated with OB-GYN oversight.
-
The safest options during pregnancy include hydrating facials, enzyme exfoliation facials, gentle deep-cleansing facials, and dermaplaning. Treatments to avoid include high-strength chemical peels, retinoid-based treatments, microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, and anything involving electrical currents or radiofrequency. At AVW, all facial treatments for pregnant clients are customized to avoid contraindicated ingredients at every trimester.
-
Yes, with care. The first trimester is the most sensitive period of pregnancy — both for your developing baby and your skin, which may be experiencing nausea, sensitivity, and hormonal fluctuations. We recommend gentle, hydrating treatments in the first trimester and always advise clients to confirm with their OB before booking any new service.
-
The key ingredients to avoid during pregnancy are retinoids (retinol, tretinoin, retinaldehyde), high-concentration salicylic acid, hydroquinone, strong chemical exfoliants, formaldehyde, and certain essential oils. At Adrouny Village Wellness, our estheticians review every product used in your treatment to ensure it meets pregnancy-safe standards before your appointment begins.
-
Yes — most pregnancy-safe facials are also safe while breastfeeding, since the same ingredient concerns apply. Retinoids and certain acids are still contraindicated while nursing. Our postpartum facial protocol accounts for breastfeeding status and adjusts product selection accordingly at every visit.
-
Pregnancy triggers significant hormonal changes that affect the skin in multiple ways. Common changes include hormonal breakouts from increased androgen activity, melasma or the "mask of pregnancy" from increased melanin production, heightened sensitivity and redness, dryness or dehydration, and increased oiliness. These changes shift throughout each trimester and continue postpartum. Professional prenatal skincare addresses these changes with treatments tailored to each stage.
-
A pregnancy facial — sometimes called a prenatal facial — is a facial treatment specifically formulated to be safe during pregnancy. It uses no retinoids, no high-strength acids, and no contraindicated techniques. At Adrouny Village Wellness in San Jose, our pregnancy facial is fully customized to your trimester and current skin concerns, performed by a licensed esthetician in a wellness center with OB-GYN oversight. We serve clients from Willow Glen, Cambrian, Los Gatos, Campbell, and throughout the South Bay.
-
No. Our esthetic services are open to anyone, regardless of who your OB or midwife is. You do not need to be enrolled in any AVW program to book a facial or other service.
-
We are located at 2998 S. Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA 95124 — in the Cambrian area of San Jose near the Pruneyard, easily accessible from Los Gatos, Campbell, and Willow Glen.
