Laser hair removal is generally not recommended during pregnancy. There is not enough scientific research to confirm that it is safe for the fetus, and most health professionals advise postponing treatments until after childbirth as a precaution. Additionally, pregnancy hormones can make the skin more sensitive, increasing the risk of irritation, redness, or other skin reactions during laser treatments. Hormonal changes can also cause increased or uneven hair growth, making the results less predictable. Some doctors may allow laser hair removal on areas far from the abdomen, but it is mostly advised to wait until after pregnancy for this non-essential cosmetic procedure.
