Does laser hair removal affect pregnancy?

Laser hair removal uses laser selective photothermodynamics. By irradiating the hair removal area with a specific light beam, the laser will pass through the surface of the skin to reach the roots of the hair follicles. This light beam can be converted into heat energy that destroys the hair follicles, thereby making the hair lose its ability to regenerate and achieve the effect of permanent hair removal.

For ordinary people, laser hair removal causes little damage to the skin. If you apply ice to the skin for a period of time after laser hair removal, the skin will return to normal in a short time.

The dangers of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal has many benefits, but it cannot be said that it is completely harmless. Laser hair removal will cause the thermal effect of the laser to denature the protein in the stratum corneum, which will be destructive to the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum has the functions of moisturizing, sun protection, absorption and protection for our skin. If the stratum corneum is damaged, the corresponding functions of the skin will be weakened, but it does not have much effect on pregnancy.

From the above, we can know that even if you find yourself pregnant after laser hair removal, don’t worry too much and put too much psychological pressure on yourself, because the laser will not have any effect on the fetus in your belly. The important thing is to pay more attention to your diet in your life and to have a proper combination of work and rest.
