During breast feeding avoid facial cosmetic injections
Despite not having any medical evidence that fillers are dangerous to your baby, you should not chance any risk and avoid these treatments during breast feeding, including Botox. There have been no studies that formally studied this question. There should be no problem to undergo microdermabarasion, V-beam laser or Fraxel Restore treatments during breast feeding (provided your baby is not with you during the treatments).

Facial cosmetic procedures during breast feeding
All unnecessary cosmetic procedures should be avoided during pregnancy an breast feeding.
No studies have been done to test the safety of these procedures under the above circumstances. Nor could they ethically be done. Thus, all advice is purely theoretical and empirical.
In particular phenol peels, which can be toxic to the heart and botox should be avoided.

Breastfeeding
I would avoid all forms of skin treatment while breast feeding. While I doubt any topical treatment would be a problem, no one knows for sure.

Facial Treatments to avoid while Breastfeeding.
Out of an undue amount of caution, we discourage our patients from getting any cosmetic procedures like laser treatments, Botox, Radiesse or even peel treatments while breast feeding and also while they are pregnant.
During this time, we encourage optimal skin care regimen and in-office clinical facials with appropriate products.

Facial cosmetic procedures to avoid while pregnant
Botox is a noteworthy facial cosmetic procedure that should be avoided while pregnant. Good luck. Laser treatments may be safe, but there are not large studies demonstrating the safety of cosmetic procedures on pregnant women. So this is a difficult question for physicians to answer. Good luck. The best advice is to wait on anything major until before or after pregnancy.
