Is it safe to breastfeed a week after Microneedling?

Question

I wanted to get microneedling but have read the numbing cream isn’t safe for breastfeeding moms. Will I still be able to breastfeed after a week of getting microneedling?

Consult with your dermatologist. They'll be able to relay their microneedling after-care protocol. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi, thank you for your question! Yes, breastfeeding a week after microneedling is safe. The numbing cream is not systemic so you can breastfeed the same day of your microneedling appointment. I would recommend reaching out to your provider because every office protocol is different.
