Can I get laser hair removal if I have cellulitis?

Question

Tyler Rogers, MD · Answer

I would not perform laser hair removal anywhere near cellulitis.  It is easy enough to wait until the cellulitis has resolved and not worth the risk.  
Speedy recovery!

Cellulitis is an infection of the skin that needs treatment and follow up by a physician.  An infection of the skin is a contraindication for laser hair removal.  When you have finished the treatment for your cellulitis and have had clearance by your doctor, you can proceed with your laser hair removal treatments.
