Postpartum Beauty and Well Treatments

<p>As any mother would tell you, pregnancy certainly has its highs and lows. And it doesn&rsquo;t end with childbirth either! The postpartum period, or the time after childbirth, when a woman&rsquo;s body returns to its pre-pregnancy state, can also be a challenging time. Besides the physiological aspect of it, there&rsquo;s also the reintroducing yourself to yourself after being a home to your baby. So, sometimes even just a little me time or some form of support from your community can really do wonders.</p><p>Now, you may be wondering what kind of beauty and wellness support new moms often get to treat themselves, so we asked ten women from different backgrounds and industries to share a glimpse of their personal experience after giving birth and the postpartum treatments they did not to &ldquo;bounce back&rdquo; but rather to help them feel like themselves again. From a simple change of hairstyle to dealing with postpartum skin issues, and even wellness traditions passed down for generations, read on to know their inspiring and candid stories:</p><div><strong><br></strong></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/katarinarodri/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Katarina Rodriguez</strong></a>, Former Beauty Queen, Actress, and Activist for Save the Children Philippines</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665176525Katarina Rodriguez.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>I had this particular feeling of excitement both times after giving birth. I felt like everything was a clean slate for me, my physical body, mind, and even health wise. Even if after my first pregnancy I didn&#39;t feel like I looked like my prior self, it was great to have Dra. Jennie from Skin101 guide me with what treatments I could do to not just bring me back to my pre-pregnancy self but to a better version of myself as a mother.</p><p>Since I have yet to stop breastfeeding, after giving birth to my eldest, I have limitations when it comes to treatments. Luckily, I was able to try and consistently have my Sofwave treatments done yearly. It&#39;s a great alternative to Botox and Ulthera/Thermage with less pain, zero downtime, and youthful results.</p><div><br></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stephaniezubiri/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Stephanie Zubiri</strong></a>, Wellness Coach, Author, and Podcast Host</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665242648Stephanie Zubiri.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>I gave birth 11 and 9 years ago! Postpartum self-care wasn&rsquo;t really a thing back then; what was on trend was bouncing back right away! What helped me a lot was massages for my back and legs, and regular chiropractor sessions at Intercare with Dr. Martin Camara. He helped put me back together! [He] realigned my spine and hips so I could continue my workouts more efficiently. I also had help from Belo [Medical Group] clinic tightening the skin in my tummy, although I don&rsquo;t remember what I did then because now they have even better non-invasive treatments!</p><div><br></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/theninaellaine/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nina Ellaine Dizon</strong></a>, Founder and CEO of Colourette Cosmetics</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665306707Nina Ellaine Dizon.jpeg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>Doing my regular laser treatments for my acne scars and hyperpigmentation really did help me feel pretty again! Recently, I tried Rejuran for the face, eyes, and lips, and my skin has never looked better!</p><div><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tanyamariaaguila/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><br></a></strong></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tanyamariaaguila/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Tanya Maria Aguila</strong></a>, Founder of Onelife Studio and Children&rsquo;s Book Author</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665384747Tanya Maria Aguila.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>My favorite treatment so far has been Advalight + Exosomes at Belo, with my go-to skin expert, Dr. Guada Capiz. I try to avoid wearing makeup whenever I can, but because I have rosacea, I deal with occasional redness and breakouts, especially when I&rsquo;m stressed or after playing tennis under the sun. That usually means I have to put on a full face for work, even when I don&rsquo;t want to.</p><p>But with consistent Advalight and Exosome treatments, I&rsquo;ve seen such a big improvement in my skin&rsquo;s clarity and texture. I finally feel more confident stepping out with a bare face&mdash; and that&rsquo;s a win for me. My schedule can be quite unpredictable as a mom and entrepreneur, so having great skin is really a priority for me.</p><div><strong><br></strong></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikkibonifacio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nikki Bonifacio</strong></a>, Content Creator<strong></strong><br></p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665450808Nikki Bonifacio.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>For me, it was getting a good facial, particularly the Hydrafacial, and finally having my hair colored again. After months of just being in mom mode, those little beauty moments felt like therapy. It helped me feel refreshed and more like myself again. Sometimes, that&rsquo;s all it takes.</p><div><br></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/angdianaaaa/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Diana Ang-Asperin</strong></a>, Managing Director of D.E.A. Group of Companies</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665496286Diana Ang-Asperin.png" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>After giving birth, as soon as I felt that I could leave my baby with someone for a few hours for some me time, the first thing I did for myself was to have my hair done&mdash;a full color and cut. This was a much-needed change from having my hair in a messy bun during the blur of the newborn phase. I instantly felt like my old self, even if I hadn&rsquo;t shed the &ldquo;baby weight&rdquo; yet.</p><div><br></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/joyybernardo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Joy Bernardo-Cabading</strong></a>, Fashion Stylist at Stylized</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665537366Joy Bernardo-Cabading.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>After pregnancy, I greatly suffered from hair loss and really bad stress-induced dandruff. At first, I sought out scalp treatments at certain salons, but they just didn&rsquo;t do much long term. Eventually, after doing some research, I managed to create a hair care routine that works for me. This includes using 2-3 different types of hair masks weekly, using a scalp massager, and even a hair loss serum. Aside from the products, I made it a habit to only comb my hair with a wide-tooth brush when it&rsquo;s wet and to always use a hairdryer, &lsquo;cause apparently it&rsquo;s better than just simply air drying your hair. Maintaining these habits helped me achieve a clear scalp and have little to no hair loss, which greatly helped my confidence as a new mom.</p><div><br></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikkiviolaa/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nikki Viola</strong></a>, Events Host and Content Creator</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665594986Nikki Viola.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>I&rsquo;ve always enjoyed getting my hair colored before I was pregnant, so when I finally got to do it again three months after giving birth, I was so happy! Changing my hair to blonde, getting it treated, and seeing it healthy really brought back my confidence, especially since I juggled multiple jobs right away.</p><div><br></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dianerfong/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Diane Fong-Mirador</strong></a>, Food Business Owner</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665649707Diane Fong-Mirador.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>Pregnancy and postpartum caused me uneven skin tone, particularly my underarms, which made me very conscious and less confident. Good thing I learned about SkinHouse&#39;s Revlite treatment through Reddit. After completing 5 sessions, I&rsquo;ve got nothing but good words for them and a boost of confidence for me. Being a mom taught me the importance of feeling my best, because when I take care of myself, I can take good care of my baby more.</p><div><br></div><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/glamyen/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Yen</strong></a>, Content Creator</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1748665785530Yen.jpg" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"></div><p>When I gave birth to my youngest, who&rsquo;s now 10, things were very different. There weren&rsquo;t a lot of treatments being offered back then, or at least none that I knew of. So, I just did what the women in my family have always done: belly binding. My mom helped me with it, using this old cloth she had saved from years ago. We&rsquo;d wrap it snugly around my tummy every morning. It wasn&rsquo;t about slimming down or looking a certain way&mdash; it was about feeling supported. I had just gone through so much physically and emotionally, and that simple act of binding gave me comfort. It made me feel like I was slowly putting myself back together. It helped with posture, eased my back pain, and honestly, it gave me a small sense of control on days when everything else felt out of place. Hindi siya glamorous, but it worked for me. It reminded me that healing doesn&rsquo;t have to be fancy&mdash; it just has to be consistent and filled with care.</p><div>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/metro-style/beauty/2025/5/19/avignon-translucent-vital-treatment-review-1434" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/metro-style/beauty/2025/5/19/avignon-translucent-vital-treatment-review-1434" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Avignon Translucent Vital: This Celebrity-Approved Treatment Lasts Over a Year</a></div>
