I am in my 30's, breastfeeding and planning another pregnancy soon. I am noticing fine lines around my eyes and mouth and am trying to find a treatment option that is safe while currently breastfeeding and that will not interfere with a planned pregnancy in the next few months. Would laser resurfacing (Halo?) or microneedling be suitable options? Which would provide better results? Is there another modality you would recommend? Thank you!

Thank you for your question. Itching is completely normal and means healing. Oral Benadryl taken at night may help reduce the histamine response. Do not scratch the area but instead moisturizer should be applied generously over treated area and reapplied whenever your skin feels dry....
Breakouts can happen post halo. Typically its due to post skin care. Talk to your provider they may be able to tweak your regime. You may simply need lighter products vs.occlusive or heavy products
In my experience, the combination performed on the same day produces the best effect. It will increase the downtime of the Halo by a day in some cases but the effect is better than doing them separately.
