A member asked:
Can i treat the stretch mark located in the lower abdomen with fraxel laser, if im breastfeeding?

Yes: If you have decided the laser treatment is the way to go with your stretch mark, localized treatment with a laser on the lower abdomen will in no way interfere with your breast feeding.

Yes and no: The laser procedure itself has no effect on breast feeding. The issue is the use of the "numbing" cream used with the laser, which may be transmitted to breast milk. It would be safer to wait for your laser treatment until after you've completed breast feeding.
