Wait until postpartum and no longer breastfeeding, then schedule a consult. Temporary cosmetic alternatives are recommended meanwhile.

Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, high-dose supplements, and excessive sun for 7–14 days. Discontinue topical retinoids two weeks prior. No recent chemical peels, laser, or microneedling.
