Are there any risks to getting BBL laser treatments while breastfeeding?

lasers, peels, skincare and fillers/botox in my practice are all done while breast feeding. there is minimal to no risk. I suggest pretreating your skinskin with emeragecosmetics emerageskin aerify and microneedling systems to get your skin ready. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi and thanks for your question!There are no specific medical studies using these therapies while pregnant or breastfeeding.Biologically, there should be no reason to think that light treatment (BBL) would harm breast milk, but again, I have no data to support that.The laser treatments themselves only treat the very superficial layers of skin, so in theory should also be safe; however the lidocaine topical numbing cream does have the possibility of getting in the bloodstream and affecting breastmilk.If lidocaine is needed, it is recommended that you "pump and dump" for 24 hours afterwards, to avoid baby receiving any in the milk.Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. BBL is safe during breastfeeding and an excellent treatment option for anti-aging and treating and preventing pigmentation issues (so long as it is not melasma). It has become one of my preferred treatments due to how remarkable the results can be with little to no down time. It is usually done without numbing cream. For most people, the discomfort is not great enough to need it; also, the provider will want feed back on what you are feeling during the test spots and the treatment to gauge whether the settings are right for your skin. It may be OK to apply numbing cream if needed if the BBL Hero is used or if you have been treated before and your provider knows what are the limits of energy that your skin can accept. BBL Hero uses a lot more pulses but with lower energy settings, so should be very safe in experienced hands.
