A pregnant woman can be on the edge, maybe not of the world, because traveling is difficult, but certainly balancing on the edge of emotions. However, this does not mean that a swing is the best attraction for her. It may rather intensify unstable emotions, unlike SPA treatments, which are mainly meant to soothe them. SPA treatments act directly on the body but indirectly on the mind and emotions. More and more places are enriching their offers to meet the needs of women in this special condition. At Hotel St. Bruno, we strive to meet these expectations.
The first question about the safety of any SPA treatments for pregnant women is obvious. Yes, ladies need a lot of peace and relaxation, but not at all costs. It is important that women have access to reliable knowledge about which treatments are dedicated to them and which are contraindicated. Above all, only in the second trimester are any treatments permissible. An additional condition is the absence of contraindications, so it is worth consulting a doctor before a woman chooses a particular treatment. The first three months exclude such activities due to the highest risk of complications and miscarriages. It is also necessary to make sure at the facility whether qualified staff, cosmetologists, and masseurs are available. And finally, it should be known that a pregnant woman cannot undergo certain treatments. This applies to any activities causing thermal overheating, such as sauna, jacuzzi, solarium, currents, ultrasound. Additionally, all massages around the abdominal area are also not recommended. So how can we help?
The face is such a place on our body that reacts most to fatigue and stress. During pregnancy, women often complain about swelling, also around the face. Skin loses density and elasticity with age, which women during pregnancy or after childbirth often clearly feel. Facial massage works on facial muscles by relaxing them, thereby reducing wrinkles. It effectively improves the absorption of cosmetics and stimulates blood and lymph circulation. Along with neck and décolletage massage, skin tone improves. Such a massage is an excellent remedy for stress and fatigue. Our offered facial, neck, and décolletage massage has a clear anti-wrinkle effect. Moreover, such a massage can effectively help reduce headaches and neck pain.
One of the constant feelings for a pregnant woman is fatigue. This also concerns the eyes. Among SPA treatments for pregnant women, we offer Medesthetic Pro SOS around the eyes by Yonelle, an anti-wrinkle treatment with hydro-infusing patches. It strongly firms and simultaneously improves elasticity, significantly reducing the visibility of crow's feet. It also reduces dark circles under the eyes and smoothes the skin.
This body part in pregnant women experiences a lot of effort related to carrying this sweet burden. Feet hurt and swell. Edema related to water retention in tissues occurs most in the third trimester of pregnancy. This is a huge discomfort and a cause of poor well-being. Taking care of this part of the body is a great relief and relaxation. In our SPA zone, foot massage is combined with back massage, which is the second most burdened area in a pregnant woman's body. Back pain in pregnancy is caused by the hormone relaxin, which softens the pelvis and ligaments, preparing the pelvis for delivery. Some women complain of back pain almost throughout pregnancy. Relaxing foot and back massage relieves and relaxes, reducing pain at the same time.

The Velvet Beauty smoothing and nourishing treatment based on a peeling that comprehensively regenerates and nourishes body skin. The exfoliating action restores skin cohesion, stimulating it to self-regeneration through appropriate penetration of the stratum corneum layer of the skin. Another noteworthy SPA treatment for pregnant women is the Silk Perfect Contur peeling massage of the whole body or selected parts. As mentioned before, certain massage areas on the body are contraindicated in pregnant women, so they will have to limit themselves to partial massage. Such massage stimulates metabolism and regulates the skin's water balance. In cases of frequent venous circulation disorders in pregnant women, the draining effect of such a treatment effectively improves lymph and blood flow in the body.
Additionally, add pedicure, manicure, or eyebrow shaping, and a woman from every edge of emotions will find a way to relax with us. Taking care of oneself, not only in terms of health but also femininity, is extremely important for the well-being and mood of a woman in this blessed condition.
