Even though I know the answer (I think) is laser hair removal of just the face allowed in pregnancy ?

Question

I know women get hair but the thing with me is I’ve had hirsutism for the past year or so and the hair on my face is BAD. I legit have a mans beard and a mans mustache following that beard. I feel disgusting and I’ve probably made it worse by shaving with a eyebrow razor for the past few months due to COVID  now it’s darker and thicker but I’ve had enough, can I start my treatment now (6months preg) or should I just wait. I hate this 😢

Answer

I wouldn’t. You don’t know how your skin will react and you could end up with blisters or scarring that’s way worse and way more permanent than the hair.
Maybe if you had a Dermatologist that was willing to do it at their office and was confident it was safe it’s be OK but i definitely would not let a med spa nurse, spa tech or laser tech touch me with a laser during pregnancy.

Answer

No it’s not. Get waxed

Answer

I don’t know if it’s allowed, but I do know it’s not recommended. Same with laser eye surgery - while it doesn’t necessarily cause a threat to the baby, it’s bc your body’s hormones are changing so much during pregnancy, it’s likely it wouldn’t be as effective if effective at all. They recommend waiting until 6 months after having the baby to allow your hormones to return to normal.

Answer

Pregnancy makes your skin more sensitive and prone to hyperpigmentation. 
You can end up with way worse problems than facial hair if you do electrolysis while pregnant.
Waxing is an option, but truthfully, you should just get yourself an electric shaver.

Answer

I had my first laser hair removal appointment scheduled and had to cancel hours prior to my appointment because I found out I was pregnant. I have excess hair on my neck that I was very much looking forward to getting rid of after 2 years of unsuccessful electrolysis. I was told by the business that I'd have to wait until after my pregnancy.
