I get my period after everytime I get a Brazilian in Laser Hair Removal- even when I had my period the week before. Why?

Question

Have been doing Laser for about 2 years on and off, have the implanon rod ( 2nd one) it has been in about 2 years. After laser Hair Removal from underarms and Brazilian I get my period without fail. This occurs even on the rare occasion that I do get my period, once it is finished I get laser, then I will have a period again

Hi Shell.  Rest assured, getting your period is NOT related to the laser hair removal treatments.  There may have been a coincidental correlation over the past couple years, but you do not begin menstruation because of a laser treatment.

Edward E. Dickerson, IV, MD · Answer

This is most likely a coincidence that your period falls around your laser schedule every 4-6 weeks. Rest assured the laser is not causing your cycle to start. If you figure up you cycle and see that it isnt on track with your hair removal schedule and are concerned, consult with your gynecologist.

Thank you for your question. There is no relation between your menstrual cycle and your laser hair treatments, because you get them done around the same time every 4 to 6 weeks it might just be a coincidence. If you are concerned you can speak with your gynecologist about this. Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard
