Answer: Laser hair removal and hypothyroidism Laser hair removal is not contingent upon circulating thyroid hormone levels and therefore you may proceed. However, when you become euthyroid you may experience some hair growth that will need to be treated with the laser.

Answer: No problem with Levothyroxine and Laser Hair Removal Not a problem at all. Levothyroxine doesn’t make you sun sensitive, so you will be fine. Even though it’s not a problem, make sure you write down all medications that you are currently taking prior to getting any laser treatments.

Answer: Laser hair removal can work just as well on someone with hypothyroidism The question is whether you thyroid state is affecting your hair at all. If you are well controlled the likelihood that your hair is not growing well is low. Some patients with hypothyroidism have loss of hair and this could mean that some of the hair that you would like to remove may not have enough activity and pigmentation to be targeted by the laser. But for the most part, if there are hairs that are showing and are not desired laser hair removal can reduce the amount of unwanted hair.
