I used to get the treatmets all the time before pregnancy. The girl that treats no doesnt recommend getting them while breastfeeding, but I don see why not.

In theory, there should be no contraindication for the use of radio frequency treatments to areas of the body (not the breast) whilst breast-feeding. HOWEVER, surgeons are quite right to be ultra-safe and avoiding any cosmetic procedures, be they injections, fillers, lasers or radio-frequency treatments, until a pregnancy or breast feeding are over. Certainly, in the case of a pregnancy, this holds true almost universally. In the case of breast feeding, you should go with the guide that your specialist suggests.Good luck.Prof. BCK Patel MD, FRCS

Most of us do not want to take ANY unnecessary risks with patients for cosmetic procedures.  This is doubled for women who are pregnant or breast feeding.  If we don't have enough information about the effects of a procedure on you and your child,  it is prudent and advised to avoid the procedure.  Enjoy your time breast feeding your baby.  It will end soon enough and you can resume your Accent treatments!
