This paradox leaves us with a certain predicament: during pregnancy and lactation all kinds of injection therapy are strictly contraindicative. Furthermore, many doctors advise giving up the injections at the pregnancy planning stage, so that a woman doesn’t end up receiving treatment when she is already pregnant but doesn’t know about it yet. This means that an average British woman, who had two children between 30 and 40, can’t have any injections for 2–3 years (if we factor in the minimal duration of lactation period).
It looks like, for many women this is one of the unpleasant surprises of pregnancy: on top of the understandable and expected limitations in their social life and diet there is an enforced necessity to tolerate their wrinkles for quite a long time. This is what medical practitioners tell their pregnant clients at the clinics - this is your happy time and all you need to embrace it, is to be less critical towards your reflection in the mirror.
Alas, not all women are capable of such a meek philosophy. Many of them have already gotten used to the idea of relatively easy preservation of a youthful look and it’s not very easy to give it up - especially during pregnancy when undesirable changes in their appearance may be quite noticeable.
Fortunately, we have now alternative methods of wrinkle correction that do not require injections and are therefore safe during pregnancy and lactation. Many medical practitioners are sceptical about the so-called “Botox results without the injections,” quite understandably so - the market recently has been flooded with numerous creams, serums and other cosmetics claiming Botox-like effects but making no difference whatsoever. Video advertising and Photoshopped illustrations are only making people doubt the promises to “rid them from wrinkles without injections” even more.
So why don’t most of these cosmetics work?
There are several reasons.
