Unwanted facial hair after Ablative C02 Laser? Would it be safe to pluck the hair on my chin and around my mouth?

Question

I had ablative C02 laser on my face and neck one week ago today. Would it be safe now to pluck the horrible hairs that's grown on my chin and around my mouth?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

If you have no more scabs you can do any treatments for hair removal including lasers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Your dermatologist will give you the answer. This depends if you skin is FULLY healed up. If so - yes. Another better way than plucking is derma planning as this will remove unwanted hairs and increase the penetrate of active serums after laser. Win win situation that has so much less trauma than plucking! Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
