Does laser hair removal treatment (IPL) affect pregnancy in any way?

August 3, 2013
Asked By:Mona Khan

I am starting to get really worried because I have already started the treatment and few people have told me that I will have difficulty concieving in the future. Therefore, I wanted to know that is it really true? Or is it just when you have the permanent one which effects pragnancy? Please anyone let me know the facts as soon as possible, and would really appericiate if someone shares their own personal experience whether they have had the treatment and successfully concieved. Thank You all
