Are the chemicals in numbing creams for micronedling safe for women who are breastfeeding?

eblmomof2
Hello I am a 36 year old with a history of acne and acne scars. But have not had a flare or outbreaks for about 5 months now. I have a 2 month old infant who I currently breastfeed. And I'm looking into treatments for acne scars since I have some time now before having to back to work. My concern is if its safe for me to undergo micronedling treatments while nursing? Thank you for your time and honest response. Evelyn
