Is it safe to still get my laser hair removal if I was experiencing a fever the night before my laser hair removal appointment?

It is always best to postpone any elective treatments if you are feeling under the weather.  At Monroe Comprehensive Laser Center, we advise pts to postpone treatments until they are afebrile at least 48 hours. Would a fever necessarily affect your treatment results?  Probably not, but it makes good sense to wait.

While your fever should not affect your hair removal treatment, I would recommend waiting until you feel better to receive your treatment.  As you do not know the cause of your fever, it is best to wait a 24 to 48 hours after you feel better to ensure you are not contagious.  Additionally, viral infections can sometimes cause rashes and you wouldn't want to mistake that viral rash for the results from your laser treatment. 

It is best to postpone your treatment if you are not feeling well.  It will not effect your treatment to wait a until you are feeling better.
