Is laser hair removal safe after hernia surgery?

April 1, 2014
Asked By:jaypar16

I found this question left unanswered from two years ago, and cannot find the answer anywhere. Can laser hair removal cause damage to the hernia site after surgery with mesh inserted? Three months after hernia surgery, I went in for hair removal, and have had pain at the hernia site just about every day since. Pain was infrequent before the hair removal. Is this coincidence, or damage?
