Laser Treatments while Breastfeeding - what is safe to do?

March 10, 2022
Asked By:cb00 in California, CA

I've read I can't do Exilis/Thermage for stomach tightening or BBL/IPL Laser for stomach stretch marks while breastfeeding. Can't I just pump and dump for 2 days or a week? Or how about doing PRP microneedling? Is it an individual providers preference to advise against or a legit caution? If not, what treatments similar to these can be done while breastfeeding (if I pump & dump)?
