Laser hair removal during breastfeeding

Androgen controls the growth of hair in the body. If you find that you have too much hair, it is most likely caused by too much androgen in the body. For women, too long hair will bring a lot of embarrassment and inconvenience to daily life. Laser hair removal is often used to inhibit hair growth. But for women who are breastfeeding, can laser hair removal also be done?

Laser hair removal requires anesthesia before the operation. Then, after the laser is effectively emitted and high heat treatment is applied to the hair follicles and related tissues such as the hair follicle pores, the hair follicles will fall off on their own and the hair follicle pores will be effectively reduced, so that all body hair falls off and prevents it from growing again. During the breastfeeding period, since you need to feed your baby, the laser hair removal process will definitely have a certain impact on breast milk, and this impact will directly interfere with the development of the baby's brain nerves. Therefore, laser hair removal surgery cannot be performed during breastfeeding.

The quality of breast milk during the lactation period directly affects the baby's developmental status. During laser hair removal, anesthetics will directly affect the nerves. If related operations are performed during this period, the anesthetic components will definitely be directly passed into the breast milk and interfere with the baby's brain nerve state, which can easily lead to stimulation and damage to the development. It will not only affect the baby's intellectual development, but is more likely to cause other related complications. Therefore, during the lactation period, the baby's development should be the main focus, and laser hair removal or the use of related drugs should be comprehensively prohibited.

From the above, we can see that laser hair removal cannot be done during breastfeeding, because laser hair removal involves the use of anesthetic drugs. Once breastfeeding, it will directly affect and damage the baby's brain nerve development, which will in turn affect the baby's intellectual development and induce other diseases. Therefore, during the breastfeeding period, you should have an effective understanding of the relevant behaviors and then make relevant decisions based on the actual situation.

Can pregnant women have laser hair removal?

Theoretically, pregnant women can have laser hair removal, but because there are certain risks, it is not recommended for pregnant women to have laser hair removal.

Because laser hair removal will produce a small amount of radiation, it will not cause any effect on normal people, but the fetus has weak resistance, so it will have a certain impact on it. In addition, the hormone secretion level of pregnant women will change greatly during pregnancy, so laser hair removal requires multiple times to complete.

In addition, if the doctor cannot accurately control the operation, and the pregnant woman is nervous during the operation, or due to other unpredictable factors, the possibility of inducing uterine contractions and leading to miscarriage cannot be ruled out. Therefore, it is not recommended for women to do laser hair removal during pregnancy. If pregnant women want to remove hair during pregnancy, it is recommended to use a razor to remove hair, and then go to a regular plastic surgery hospital for laser hair removal after the pregnancy is over.

It is worth mentioning that the currently popular photon hair removal and freezing point hair removal also belong to the category of laser hair removal, and their principles are the same as laser. Photon hair removal uses intense pulsed light, which produces radiation and can affect the fetus, so it is not suitable during pregnancy. Nowadays, many beauty hospitals have marked "not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding" in the "Contraindications" column for laser hair removal, which shows the importance they attach to its safety.
