I just found out that I'm about 5 to 6 weeks pregnant. I have an IPL session scheduled, for my face, in 2 weeks. I am mainly having it done for sun damage and I've never had this done before. Can/should I still have this procedure done?

Answer: Safety Tips for Laser Treatments Unfortunately, for the most part, most all laser treatments are not recommended during pregnancy . Since studies cannot be done on the unborn babies of pregnant mothers, it is a general recommendation that women should defer all laser treatments until the post-partum period.#laserrisks #safetywithlasers #pregancyrisks

Answer: IPL and pregancy No, safety on pregnant women and babies have not been studied that well yet, but also hormonal changes may have the risk of more pigmentation or side effects. Avoid unnecessary cosmetic treatments during pregnancy, maybe you may need them later, together with bleaching creams, because of melasma.
