Choosing Laser Hair Removal During Pregnancy

For those who opt for laser hair removal during pregnancy, it’s generally advised that it be done during the early stages of pregnancy, and that the breasts and abdominal region be avoided.

For individuals who are undergoing a series of laser hair removal treatments and become pregnant mid-series, stopping the treatments until after delivery will not disrupt the progress already achieved during those treatments. Because the laser permanently damages the hair follicles, the treatments can be resumed right where they left off post-delivery.
When considering alternative forms of hair removal, note that the effects of electrolysis during pregnancy are also unknown. When shaving your legs, avoid slipping by seating yourself in the bathtub, or asking your partner for assistance.

Overall, for hair removal options during pregnancy, it’s always best to speak to your healthcare professional to decide what will satisfy you, and still be safe for your baby.
