Can I still have CO2 laser (surgical scar), laser genesis & Vbeam (rosacea) while breastfeeding?

Question

Hi, I am currently breastfeeding and am booked in for C02 laser to a surgical scar and laser genesis + V beam for rosacea. If I do not use local anaesthetic can I still have these procedures while breastfeeding? Thank you

Vbeam laser is the gold standard for deeply red or pinkish hyperemia on the skin from skin trauma or surgery. We use this laser quite often to improve redness in combination with Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily. Options for red scars include scar modulation, intralesional injections to reduce inflammation, vbeam laser, and IPL treatment. Many sessions are required which is why you should schedule with a trained clinician familiar with scar treatment and Vbeam pulsed dye laser.

Best,
