Laser Hair Removal During Pregnancy

'Is it safe to have Pregnancy Laser Hair Removal' is one of the more popular asked questions among female clients. For the pregnant mother, unwanted hair growth is really problematic. Due to changes in the increased hormonal level in the blood, expecting mothers witness rapid hair growth over their face, arms, breasts, chins and lower abdomen. Pregnant mothers will notice a thick, lush growth of hair where it did never before. This can quickly become a nuisance. If you are thinking of removing the unwanted hair, why do not go for the better alternative - laser, than the temporary techniques like shaving and waxing?

The way laser works

In this method, a laser probe is fixed over the area where you need to remove your hairs. Then a pulse of controlled intensity laser beam is transmitted over the area. The laser / photo energy gets converted into thermal energy and this heat breaks apart the hair follicle. The root of the hair is destroyed and you feel a cleaner, smoother skin. The laser therapy used for hair removal remains one of the most sought after, safe and speedy process.

Whether this method is safe during pregnancy?

Your obstetrician is the best judge. However, experts say that during early period of pregnancy (first and second trimester), Pregnancy Laser Hair Removal is extremely safe. In the later parts of pregnancy, however, it is better to spare the breast (if you are going to breastfed your baby) and the lower abdomen (bikini area) as it very sensitive in those parts.

There is no control study report, which either favors or denies this controversy that whether pregnancy laser hair removal affects the growing fetus. If you consult your obstetrician, he will advise against laser hair removal during the period of pregnancy - just to be on the safer side. It is always better to go for the hair removal after delivering a healthy baby.
