Real Patients, Real Results
Can Pregnant Women Have Laser Treatment?
Most doctors recommend that elective laser procedures not be performed during pregnancy. This is due to the lack of widespread, controlled studies on the subject. Additionally, greater blood flow and hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can increase your risk of discomfort during treatment, as well as persistent post-treatment pigmentation problems and skin damage. Many providers also recommend holding off for at least three to six months following the birth of a child, during which time your hormones can stabilize. This timing can make a world of difference in terms of your comfort and experience with laser treatment.
Should I Avoid Laser Hair Removal During My Period?
While you can still have treatment sessions during your period, your skin may be more sensitive than usual to the laser’s effects. Once again, hormonal fluctuations can lower your threshold for pain. Your skin may also be more reactive following treatment, leading to slightly more redness and longer healing times than usual. Don’t be afraid to tell us about any cycle-related pain concerns, as we can take extra precautions to ensure your comfort. Our sophisticated laser system also allows us to adjust settings to support your comfort throughout treatment. Women are declaring their independence from costly, tedious, painful, messy, and time-consuming conventional hair removal methods, and you can do the same!
