Is laser treatment safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Update date: 8 January 2026
  • Pregnancy: Doctors generally do not recommend laser hair removal during pregnancy as a precaution. Due to hormonal changes, the risk of spotting may increase or it may trigger painful contractions.

  • Breastfeeding: It can be started after birth when hormones have stabilized (usually 3-6 months later).
