Question

Kristin M. Baird, MD · Answer

Yes, it is safe to get laser hair removal done after a diagnosis of melanoma. Laser hair removal will not cause a recurrence of melanoma. I would advise you seek a qualified laser specialist for your laser hair removal procedure and of course, practice strict sun protection!

It is safe to have laser skin procedures after melanoma. You will be just fine. It will have absolutely no ability to make your melanoma come back.
