I am still breastfeeding my 1 years old, and was wondering about hydrafacials. Are they safe?

Hi! Thank you for the question! Having a PRP facial would be a great treatment after having dermal filler. I would highly recommend discussing this with the provider you chose for the treatment. PRP will help the texture of the skin. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
