BBL laser treatment while pregnant safe?

Question

I was interested in getting a bbl treatment for some redness on my face. Is this safe to get done while pregnant? Which kinds of facial treatments are safe while pregnant?

Matthew J. Nykiel, MD · Answer

I would not recommend ANY elective procedures or surgery during pregnancy.  It simply is not worth the risk to you or your baby.

Austin Hayes, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I'm guessing you're referring to IPL laser treatments. Energy-based devices are not recommended during pregnancy is that not been studied. Also, hormonal fluctuations can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Michael Constantin Gartner, DO · Answer

surgery during pregnancy should only be done if it's an emergency and any elective surgery should be avoided. Best of luck

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

I would not recommend any elective surgery during your pregnancy. Consider scheduling an appointment a few months after child birth for BBL. Good luck.
