Question

Laura A. Katz, MD · Answer

I am assuming that you are referring to bikini laser hair removal.  Yes you can.  The laser would not penetrate enough to disturb or interact with your iud

Yes, you can safely do laser hair removal while using copper IUD. There will be no interaction between the 2. All you need is an experienced aesthetician so burns are avoided.

Hello and thank you for your question!  Yes, you can have LHR with a copper IUD, no contraindication.  Hope this helps!!

I think it would be just fine.  The laser won't be anywhere near the metal part of the IUD if your provider is qualified and professional.  Please see an expert and best of luck!
