AT-HOME

BEAUTY DEVICES

While Dr Galyna spends her time working from one of London’s most-prestigious clinics, she recognises the benefits of using beauty tech at home.

As well as being a great way to top-up treatments, these tools can provide cost-efficient and convenient results compared to regular salon visits. Unfortunately, not every treatment is suitable for before, during, or immediately after pregnancy but there are plenty of at-home tools that mean you don’t need to miss out.

AT-HOME

HEALTH & BEAUTY DEVICES

As well as being a great home-use solution in between professional treatments, Dr Galyna recognises that at-home health & beauty devices are ideal during pregnancy, and in the early weeks and months of motherhood, to ensure you get some well-deserved me-time. As well as this, they’re a great way of enjoying professional-level results from the comfort of your own home - and can also boost your body positivity, something Dr Galyna is passionate about.

Dr Galyna has partnered with CURRENTBODY to recommend her favourite at-home devices that are safe and effective during pregnancy, and beyond. These include devices to help you feel your best as well as tools to make motherhood easier, each picked for their quality, safety and effectiveness for new and expectant mothers.

Reveal healthy & hydrated skin in 90 seconds - thanks to these pre-programmed treatments.

"This is a really clever little gadget which I can definitely see myself using a lot over the next year. It's like a little therapist in the palm of your hand with heat, cryo and LED boosting your sheet mask treatment. Pick the right mask for what your skin needs (boost your glow, hydrate, or soothe) and the device will do the rest in just two minutes. Definitely easier to fit in to my busy routine than a 20-minute regular sheet mask."
