A recent question that has come up a lot from our pregnancy patients (since beauty clinics reopened after our Melbourne COVID lockdown) is in regards to Laser hair removal during pregnancy.
Although laser hair removal is generally considered a safe procedure, doctors and dermatologists usually advise women to avoid the procedure because no studies have been done to prove that it's safe for mothers and babies. In the absence of research, doctors err on the side of caution.
Also note that laser hair removal is often less effective during pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones affect the pigmentation in your skin as well as the growth of hair follicles.
