Laser Hair Removal and Pregnancy
Every woman in the western world likes to see in her reflection a well-kept beautiful woman. One of the most popular and the most used cosmetic procedure is hair removal. While not pregnant, hair removal is very simple to do: you can wax, shave or use creams.
The whole situation changes when you get pregnant. When you have a large ball in front of your belly, you do not see your legs and you surely can't shave them. So, a good way of hair removal is the laser hair removal.
Are pregnant women hairier? Why?
Very often, pregnancy does generate hair growth especially on the arms and face. This phenomenon happens because of the large quantity of hormones present in the blood stream. Normally, this pregnancy hair appears on the face (on the chin, cheeks and above lips). I'm sure no one considers this beautiful. Also, the hair can appear on breast, arms, stomach and back.
What choices I have to get rid of extra hair?
It's a fact that hair removal with the help of laser sounds like a good idea, but it's not. If you have laser hair removal during pregnancy, you will likely end up with hair anyway, but after the pregnancy ends, the effects of the laser will simply disapear. Hence, the best way to remove hair during pregnancy is with tweezers or by shaving it. It's better to wait after you give birth to your baby because some of that excessive hair will simply fall off.
What to do when having excessive hair growth?
In this case, it's okay to use laser hair removal techniques. It's not unhealthy even on the face. The single disadvantage is that the effects will be for short-term.
How does the laser procedure work?
This hi-tech equipment simply spots only the dark colored hair and produces mechanical or thermal damage to his follicle.
Is it safe for a pregnant woman to use laser hair removal?
A lot of doctors and cosmetic technicians claim that laser hair removal is completely safe for pregnant women, but some claim it's better to not use this technique on the bikini area.
When you wish to have your hair removed with electrolysis, it's better to skip over the breast area in the third trimester or when breastfeeding. In the weeks of the last trimester the healthy way is to avoid applying laser treatment over the abdomen because it is very irritated from the pregnancy itself and it will be uncomfortable for you. There are no studies to point out if laser treatment is safe for the fetus and for the baby in the last trimester. But the best advice is to still wait until the baby is born.
When you go to the spa or cosmetic parlor, a technician will give you a small consultation and he will talk to you about the needs you have and what you are and aren't allowed to do. If he is unsure about giving you a laser hair removal treatment, it's better to see an obstetrician. The doctor will tell you what sort of treatment is good for you. In conclusion, the best idea when it comes to removing unwanted hair is to make an effort and shave or wax. The laser will offer only short-term results
