There have been a number of occasions since our inception that we have been asked whether pregnant women can have medical laser hair removal and thought it would be an appropriate subject for our blog.
The medical lasers used at Hairaway Canada work in the infra-red spectrum of light. There is no ultra violet component in the light and therefore no sinister complications can result. There is absolutely no possibility of any issues with the unborn foetus from the light or the heat which is generated by the laser.
However, we always advise that medical Laser Hair Removal should only be carried out, latest, up to the end of the first trimester if it cannot be avoided. The reason is that the procedure in certain anatomical areas, like the axilla (underarms) can sometimes result in discomfort for the client and as a result of that discomfort and concomitant stress to the client the foetus might get stressed as well. We simply do not wish to cause the unborn child any undue stress and therefore encourage our pregnant clients, whom we feel may encounter discomfort, to postpone their treatments until after they have delivered.
