Is skincare safe during pregnancy? In this week’s episode, medical aesthetician Ashton McDonald of Weiler Plastic Surgery’s Metairie clinic sits down with Chanen Johnson, influencer and expecting mom, to break down pregnancy-safe skincare and aesthetic treatments. Learn which ingredients to avoid, how to manage pregnancy acne, texture changes, and melasma, and which treatments you can still enjoy, such as Diamond Glow facials and dermaplaning.

Ashton also walks through the AM and PM routine she built for Chanen, featuring the ZO Skin Health Gentle Cleanser, peptides, Brightalive, and sunscreen. Chanen shares the treatments she misses most, including microneedling, filler, and facial balancing, and what she’s looking forward to postpartum. Thanks for watching and be sure to follow for new episodes every Tuesday!
