Is it safe to remove hair through electrolysis during pregnancy

Question

I am five months pregnant,I am having unwanted hair on my face,I am undergoing electrolysis since 1 year....so can u suggest me?is it safe to remove right now.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Most physicians will recommend avoiding any type of laser hair removal during pregnancy due to the lack of information about the effect it has on the fetus.  Most experts say to wait until you deliver your baby and are done breastfeeding. Best, Dr. Green

I would not recommend laser hair removal during pregnancy.  There's no evidence that we're aware of regarding negative effects, but it's the accepted guideline to wait until after you have your baby and after you are done breast feeding.  Congratulations on your future baby, Doc Halliday
