Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Pregnant Women?

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Pregnant Women? Or when trying to conceive? This question has caused great concern for both pregnant patients and laser therapists.

During the nine months of pregnancy, common discomforts experienced by women include headaches, heartburn, body pains and insomnia. The hair removal discomforts include the act of bending down whilst shaving or enduring the pain of strip waxing. In the third trimester, most women become desperate and consider most effective hair removal methods such as Laser Hair Removal.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Pregnant Women? Before discussing safety, it is imperative to understand the mechanics of laser hair removal. The hair is eradicated as a laser beam penetrates the skin to target the follicle. It has been clinically proven that the laser beam would not penetrate the skin enough to cause damage to the foetus or the pregnant woman.

The most effective hair removal method on the market is laser.

The procedure results in an 85-99 percent reduction at the conclusion of the treatment program. The most commonly treated areas by women include the underarms, face and legs. While hair is normally treated within 6-10 treatments, hormonal changes as well as patterns of hair growth ultimately determine the actual number of required treatments.

The only time certain areas should be avoided are the Brazilian and abdomen during the final trimester. This is due to the fact that the baby is developing in those areas. Woman should also avoid treatment on the breasts as they are vital for breastfeeding.

Wrinkle Treatment FAQ

Let’s take a look at Wrinkle Treatment FAQ.

Who will be performing the wrinkle reduction procedure?

A qualified Candela certified therapist from Results Laser hair removal Clinic will be performing the laser wrinkle treatment.

How long after the wrinkle laser treatment will I be able to resume my normal daily activites?

The amazing thing about the laser wrinkle treatment is that there is no downtime. Unlike ablative treatments such as fraxel or botox, light based laser treatments have all the benefits without the needed recovery time. Following the procedure, clients may experience slight redness and swelling on the area which subsides within a few hours. Clients can resume work and social activities immediately after the treatment and can also apply mineral makeup.

Why should I opt for a laser wrinkle treatment over botox?

The laser wrinkle treatment is a light based treatment, which unlike botox procedures, doesn’t  inject botulism toxin in the skin. It stimulates the body’s natural collagen production by heating. Another major advantage of the laser wrinkle treatment is the collagen continues to be developed at the conclusion of the treatment series. Botox also can have complicated side effects such as numbing of the muscles which can make a client look like they have a permanent frown. Laser wrinkle treatment does not involve such side effects as it is a natural progressing treatment.

Is the laser wrinkle treatment a surgical procedure?

No, the laser wrinkle treatment is a non-invasive therapeutic treatment. Is it for this reason that there is no anaesthetic required, no downtime and no surgical risks.

Is the laser wrinkle reduction treatment safe?

Yes. The Candela ND:YAG technology is an FDA approved medical-grade technology which is leading worldwide. Protective eyewear is worn during the operation of the technology and a Candela certified therapist will be conducting the treatment. This will not only ensure that the treatment is safe but also effective. There are also no side effects associated with the treatment.

Laser Awareness Day

Laser Awareness Day was held on 28 June 2010. Therapists, industry specialists and clients came together to increase awareness and reflect on the history of laser as well as the remarkable innovations available with companies such as Candela. It was also an opportunity to make individuals more knowledgeable in the area of lasers and laser hair removal. NSW is an unregulated industry where many have suffered from the inexperience of unqualified laser hair removal therapists, second-hand technologies and unsafe practices.

On Laser Awareness Day, many came together contribute to increased public recognition of laser trauma as well as greater professional interest.   Laser Awareness Day is much more than information and answers. At its core, Laser Awareness Day is a celebration driven by Results Laser Clinic, of what’s great about being accredited and qualified.
