Laser Hair Removal during pregnancy
While laser energy is non-mutagenic (non-cancer causing), it is not advisable to undertake any laser treatments during pregnancy. There is no research to show that there may be harm to the fetus, but would not recommend it so as to err on the side of caution.

Pregnancy and Laser Hair Removal: Is laser a good idea during pregnancy
Lasers should not be used during pregnancy. Period. The fetus should not be exposed to any elective risk, whether theoretical or realized. Hair removal during pregnancy should be limited to waxing and threading.

LHR and pregnancy
Unfortunately, the only thing I would recommend would be shaving during the pregnancy. Although we don't know what the affect of Laser is on the fetus, Laser Hair Removal should wait until after delivery.

No Laser Hair Removal during pregnancy
No lasers should be used during pregnancy. Only shaving, waxing and threading are your options. In fact, a topical anesthetic is typically put on to make the treatment more comfortable and if you are breast feeding, this is not allowed.
