Can I use IPL hair removal when I'm breast feeding?

Question

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your
question in regards to IPL.It is not recommended to have any elective cosmetic procedures done while pregnant and/or breastfeeding. To be sure, wait to continue hair removal treatments once you are done breastfeeding. See two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.I hope this helps.
