No pelvic lymph nodes. Can I have laser hair removal?

Question

I had pelvic lymph nodes removed when I had a radical trachalectomy, now I’m wondering if I can have laser hair removal, particularly on lower leg?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You should be able to have laser hair removal. This is difficult to answer without pictures. Diode, alexandrite and yag lasers work best for hair removal and are safe for all skin tones. I typically have patients do every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. It will take a series of treatments and some people need treatments to maintain. See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer
