Nasal polyps do not interfere with laser-assisted hair removal.  There is no reason that you should not be able to undergo a facial hair removal procedure.  If you are planning on having your polyps treated surgically, it may be a good idea to notify your surgeon that you are in the process of undergoing hair removal treatments.

You can safely do laser hair removal if you suffer from nasal polyps. The laser light works superficially in your skin and will not reach your sinuses or create any problems with nasal polyps.
You will be safe even if the laser tip will gently be inserted around your nostrils in order to remove nasal hair.
Thank you for your question
