Are you pregnant or planning to become pregnant and want to know whether or not you can have diode laser hair removal at this time? Women always want to look their best, and especially at this time of pregnancy, it's even more essential! Trying to feel good about yourself may lead you to think that you should continue or even start laser hair removal treatments during pregnancy. All the more so because at this time, a woman's body goes through various hormonal changes, and in some cases, this can alter the hair cycle, giving a sensation of increased quantity in various areas of the body, such as the face, neck, décolleté and chest. However, as a precaution, our recommendation is that you should not undergo any type of diode laser hair removal treatment while pregnant or even while breastfeeding. There is no conclusive study on whether or not there are any long-term harmful effects for the woman or the baby caused by diode laser hair removal treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding. In addition, it is known that during pregnancy a woman's skin is much more sensitive, and exposure to any kind of strong light, radiation or electrical discharge can cause spots and other damage. Therefore, laser hair removal during pregnancy is not recommended. Which hair removal method should you use while pregnant? The recommended method of hair removal during pregnancy is to use a razor. Neither hot wax nor the use of any other depilatory cream is recommended at this stage. If you want to use another hair removal method, you should always seek the advice of your doctor.
