Is microneedling safe while breastfeeding? What about Vampire facials? Laser treatments?

Asked By:blacknyellow in Houston, TX

Hi there, I have been exclusively breastfeeding my 6 month old baby since birth. I am wondering if it’s safe to get some type of facial rejuvenation treatment during this time. I have had one doctor say he won’t do a vampire facial (skin needling with PRP) because of the topical numbing agent used prior to treatment, but, if topical are of concern, could I still do a treatment if I pump and dump? Same question applies to other treatments like Fraxel or CoolTouch. Thanks!
