I review this as well as identical statements, what do we think?

"The accord seems which laser hair dismissal is all protected during early pregnancy. One thing, though, do not share your early conceiving physically with a laser core technicians; they have been fearful of guilt as well as will give we invalid recommendation as well as substantially exclude to go on your diagnosis sessions, even yet they have been not healing professionals by any equates to as well as do not know anything some-more than what we or we do. My creditable OB told me it was really safe, though a laser tech sent me packing".
To Jenny A: It’s a final appointment. we requisitioned 4 sessions @ 6 -8 weeks apart, as well as we have a single event left for it to be finish but regrowth.

Hi LondonLou,
I personally do not have the problem unfortunately… anyway… I can assure you that I investigated in depth on the topic and there are no studies that evaluate the safety of laser hair removal during pregnancy.
True that many health care providers recommend avoiding laser hair removal during pregnancy because of the lack of information about the affect on the fetus. This is fair cautionery prevention in times when people go to court for all and nothing.
On the other hand, your OB is most likely true because laser hair removal targets dark pigment in the hair and causes thermal and/or mechanical damage to the hair follicle.
Any how, I would invite you to use other method like shaving or waxing (caution: do avoid depilatory creams as they may contains allergetical ingredients!!!).
Cheers,

	Get a second opinion, my OB in Jamaica said it was safe, but my OB in the Netherlands said thatit wasn’t, when I phoned the laser place myself they said that they do not perform laser hair treatment on pregnant women-so I would wait if I were you-good luck

	If they sent you away, you better not risk it! Wait til the baby’s born (shave or wax until then) and do the laser hair removal after the birth. You have a lot to loose if something goes wrong, but nothing to loose if you wait a few months. You can still do the procedure fine afterwards.

	You know some Laser techs and other types of doctors just won’t touch a pregnant woman. If your OB says it’s okay then it’s okay for him/her just not for the laser tech. As far as the hair dye comment goes (sorry I had to) that will only harm you if you sit in a closed room putting it on your hair and that goes for pregnant women or women who aren’t pregnant.

I personally wouldn’t risk it, and I am holding off to complete my last two laser hair treatments until I give birth. It doesn’t hurt to wait. The hair isn’t going anywhere!

Plus, I’ve read that the hormones of pregnancy often tends to spur dark hair to grow where it shouldn’t. So I figure I will get more out of the treatment if I wait and can remove those hairs as well.

I would also be concerned about the safety of the prescription numbing creams they use prior to the procedure. Those creams do get absorbed into your skin, your bloodstream, and into the unborn fetus. I would not want to subject my baby to that.
