Your doctor may recommend waiting until after you give birth or after breastfeeding ends because it could harm the baby and cause problems with lactation.

If you’re not yet pregnant but are hoping to be soon, ask your doctor if getting a hydra facial is all right at this stage of life.

Ask your doctor if there are any medications that could interfere with the safety of this procedure or if there are any other precautions they’d like you to take before treatment.
