Can I continue laser hair removal if I am pregnant?

37-year-old woman2 years ago

I am 7 weeks pregnant so I haven't had an appointment with my midwife yet. I have hirsutism and have been having laser hair removal treatments on my chin for 5 months.

Good morning, Mrs,

It is preferable to wait until the end of your pregnancy before starting or continuing laser treatments.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
