At The Beauty Embassy, we believe true luxury lies in intelligent skincare treatments that prioritise both comfort and performance. This May, we’re proud to spotlight Electroporation: a cell-focused facial technology that delivers deep skin rejuvenation without discomfort, downtime, or compromise.
Unlike traditional needling treatments, Electroporation offers a more refined experience. With its gentle electrical delivery system, it creates temporary micro-channels in the cell membrane, rather than the skin surface, allowing our potent Cocktail d’Actifs to penetrate deep within the cells where they can have the most impact.
This means:
– No micro-trauma or surface disruption
– No visible redness, inflammation, or recovery period
– And unlike skin-penetrating methods such as microneedling, Electroporation preserves the skin barrier, allowing your topical skincare to absorb seamlessly post-treatment for continued performance and enhanced results.
It is a treatment that offers complete skin integrity, delivering a deep cellular effect without discomfort, and working beneath the surface to rebuild, hydrate, and remodel with refined precision.
What is Electroporation?
Often described as a pain-free alternative to skin needling, Electroporation is a next-generation delivery system designed to stimulate the deepest layers of the skin without surface trauma. Using a high-frequency, uni-directional microsecond pulse, this advanced technology increases the permeabilisation of the skin’s double lipid bi-layer, creating temporary openings in the cell membrane and not the surface of the skin.
This precise pulse promotes the migration of ions and molecules directly into the cells, enabling exceptional absorption of our Cocktail d’Actifs which is a potent blend of 56 peptides, growth factors, vitamins, and botanical extracts.
In essence, Electroporation acts as a “cell fertiliser”, delivering active ingredients with precision to the foundations of cellular health, where skin renewal, hydration, and remodelling truly begin.
Why Our Clients Love It
- No Needles, pain or social downtime
- Clinically backed results
- Both instant radiance and long term repair
- The Embassy touch, no treatment would be complete without indulgence
Unlike devices that feel cold or clinical, our 90-minute Electroporation facial is performed in true Embassy style. The experience begins with a welcome massage and deep exfoliation to prepare your skin for transformation. Once your complexion is prepped, we apply our customised serum infusion and guide it deep into the skin using Electroporation technology, followed by a targeted co-factor masque to calm and reinforce your skin barrier.
The result? Visibly revitalised, nourished, and radiant skin, with zero downtime.
Who Is It For?
Electroporation is suitable for anyone looking to address:
- Dull, tired skin
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Dehydration
- Sun Damage and ageing skin
- Loss of elasticity
It’s especially loved by those who value results but refuse to compromise on elegance, comfort, or discretion.

At The Beauty Embassy, skincare isn’t just a routine; it’s a ritual. A moment to reconnect, replenish, and honour where you are right now. And for our beautiful clients navigating pregnancy (including our founder, Meghan!), that sense of care becomes more important than ever.
During this time of transformation, your skin, like your body, changes rapidly and often without warning. Hormonal shifts can lead to fluctuations in sensitivity, breakouts, pigmentation changes and overall skin behaviour. What worked for you a few months ago may suddenly feel ineffective, or even uncomfortable.
Your Skin Instant, the current state of your skin in real time, is always evolving. But during pregnancy, that evolution becomes, more nuanced. This is why your skincare routine must also evolve with it.
Pregnancy is a season where self-care is not indulgent, but essential. And nourishing your skin along the way is one of the most beautiful things you can do for both yourself and your baby.
How Pregnancy Affects the Skin
As your body adapts to support new life, your skin reflects those internal changes. Many pregnant clients experience pigmentation (particularly melasma), which appears as darkened patches. Others notice heightened sensitivity, with skin reacting more easily to products or temperature changes.
Breakouts, particularly along the jawline or chin, can be common, even for those who’ve never had acne before. At the same time, the skin may feel dry, flaky, or tight, with some experiencing redness or itching due to increased blood flow or skin stretching. Every person’s journey is unique, but these changes are a normal part of the pregnancy experience.
What to Pause During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is also a time to pause certain treatments or ingredients, especially those that are too active, aggressive, or may pose unnecessary risk during this sensitive phase.
Injectables such as Botox and filler are paused during pregnancy. So too are higher-strength clinical treatments, including intense peels and resurfacing procedures. We also recommend temporarily setting aside any harsh actives, overly stimulating exfoliants as they may not sit well with sensitised skin.
Ingredients to Avoid
In addition to treatments, there are several skincare ingredients best avoided during pregnancy. These include commonly used actives that can be absorbed systemically, as well as sensitising or hormone-disrupting ingredients.
At The Beauty Embassy, we take ingredient safety seriously, and our team is always on hand to guide you in selecting safe, effective alternatives. Ingredients to avoid during pregnancy include:
- Retinol and Vitamin A derivatives
- Benzoyl Peroxide
- Parabens
- Essential Oils (depending on type and concentration)
If you’re unsure, we always recommend coming in for a Skin Instant Lab Diagnosis, where we can assess your skin’s current needs and guide you safely and expertly.
Pregnancy-Safe Favourites from Biologique Recherche
Because every pregnancy is different, and so is every Skin Instant, we begin every journey with a Skin Instant Lab to ensure your skin is receiving what it truly needs. However, there are a few Biologique Recherche favourites we love recommending to our expecting clients.
One of the most special is Crème Masque Vernix VG, inspired by the natural vernix, which as most mothers will know, is the protective, creamy coating that naturally covers a newborn’s skin at birth. This deeply nourishing cream-mask offers repair, protection, and intense hydration, mirroring the same barrier-strengthening benefits for fragile skin.
Serum Iso-Placenta is a beautiful option during and post-pregnancy, helping to regenerate and repair skin affected by hormonal changes, fatigue, or breakouts. It supports healing post blemish marks while restoring clarity and balance. For those with some pregnancy breakouts Creme Dermopurifiante is the perfect partner to Serum iso-Placenta during pregnancy to help purify and balance without taking any risks.
To keep pregnancy pigmentation at bay Serum PIGM 400 and Masque PIGM 400 can be incorporated as prevention and correction of hormonal melasma.
When it comes to the body, Crème R-Stria and Crème B-Stria offer targeted support for stretch marks. Crème R-Stria (R = Red/Rouge) focuses on prevention and firming during pregnancy, while Crème B-Stria (B = Blanc/white) helps improve the texture and tone of existing marks both helping you care for your skin as it expands and shifts.
Tailored Treatments for Pregnancy at The Beauty Embassy
All treatments at The Beauty Embassy are completely bespoke, and this extends to our pregnancy clients. We understand that your skin may be more reactive or unpredictable during this time, which is why we adjust each facial based on your current Skin Instant, taking care to avoid certain ingredients while still delivering visible, restorative results.
From our calming, nutrient-rich Bespoke Facials to pregnancy-safe scalp treatment enhancements, we’re here to help you relax, restore, and reconnect with yourself through every stage of your journey.
We highly recommend beginning with a Skin Instant Lab Diagnosis so we can prescribe the perfect products and rituals to support your skin during this special time.
Nourish Your Glow
They say pregnancy gives you a glow, but at The Beauty Embassy, we know that glow doesn’t just happen. It’s created with intention, care, and nourishment.
By taking the time to support your skin during this transformative season, you’re not only caring for your complexion but honouring yourself.
