Can you do laser hair removal and laser lipo in the same area at the same time?

Question

I’m trying to do laser lipo and laser hair removal at different locations at different days but around the same time frame. Is that okay?

Dear Original143070,
every plastic surgeon has his own protocol which he recommends to his patients. You will probably be able to combine liposuction and hair removal. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

I guess theoretically you could have both done at the same time but I doubt anyone would do that.  There is considerable drainage after liposuction. The dressings are bulky.  I would not recommend doing both at the same time

These procedures can be done around the same time or specifically hair removal can be done during your recovery from Lipo. I would not recommend doing them the same day. There are numerous cases where insults to the skin from multiple energy modalities have resulted in scarring.
