Is it safe in pregnancy

Many people says that it you should not get laser hair removal treatment while you are pregnant.Uptil now there is no research thay proves electrolysis is safe for pregnant women or unborn baby so, experts recommend to hold on treatment until your baby is born.

One other nain reason behind this is that during pregnancy your skin is stretched and tender so laser hair removal can cause swelling or irritation.

Is it painful

Let me tell tou honestly as compared to other hair removing procedures like waxing or tweezing laser hair removal is so far less painful.Laser hair removal is designed to target hair follicles with high heat laser beams.You donot feel the heat but you feel like skin is being snapped by a rubber band.

Your dermatologist may rub a numbing cream on your skin prior to the procedure.It depends on your pain tolerance or body part that you dont require numbing cream.

Side Effects

Burn marks or post inflammatory or hyper pigmentation may occur if laser was misused during laser session.

The high heat of laser can effect your pores they become sensitive resulting in appearence of acne and pimples.

Is this permanent or temporary

It is not permanent but delays growth of hairs for quite a long time or duration.Most people noticed that when the hair re grows it is more lighter and less noticeable.
