Answer: Laser hair removal is safe!
Laser Hair Removal systems deliver light of various wavelengths through the skin surface where they are preferentially absorbed by the hair follicles. The light energy absorbed is converted to heat and a microscopic injury to the follicle occurs that results in decreased hair production. The laser energy that is not absorbed quickly scatters or reflects and does not effect structures under the skin.
Although there is no risk of injury to your reproductive systems any time, Laser Hair Removal or any other laser treatments are not recommended during pregnancy.

Answer: Laser hair removal will not cause infertility or in any way affect your ovaries Thank you for your question. Laser hair removal will not cause infertility or in any way affect your ovaries. The laser only targets the hair follicle and does travel that much below the skin. There has never been a report of infertility caused by laser hair removal. Please do not worry.
