​Factors to Consider Before Carrying Out a Laser Hair Removal When Pregnant​

  • Laser hair removal involves the use of laser radiation which helps in the destruction of any unwanted hair from the roots. Carrying out the treatment while pregnant will not harm the unborn child as the radiation will not get to the baby. It will also not cause any harm to the pregnant woman.
  • Since the body of the pregnant woman is very sensitive as a result of the hormonal changes, the laser hair removal treatment may be slightly painful. A pregnant woman can ask his doctor if he can use a numbing cream or pain relieving tablets to make the procedure more comfortable.
  • Due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy, the growth of the hair may be more intense and you may discover that even the areas that did not previously have hair will experience an intense growth of unwanted hair. This may be more difficult to remove and the laser hair removal may take longer.
  • Carrying out a laser hair removal treatment in the third trimester of pregnancy may be very uncomfortable in areas like the breast area and the pubic area as well.
Your doctor will be in the best place to decide if it will be safe to have a laser hair removal treatment while pregnant. If he certifies that it is okay to have the laser treatment, you can go ahead and look for a spa operated by professionals to have your laser treatment.
You should be careful with the choice of the spa to avoid suffering from side effects such as burns as your body is very sensitive as a result of the pregnancy.
If you had already undergone some laser hair removal sessions before you discovered that you were pregnant, you can reschedule the rest of the sessions when you deliver. You can use other methods of hair removal that will be more comfortable before you deliver your unborn child.
