J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.It should be okay to proceed with Laser Hair Removal in the Bikini area 6 weeks after Cesarean Section.Get medical clearance from your obstetrician.

To be sure, see two or more licensed
and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make
sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these
treatments.

I hope this helps.

If you are doing laser to the bikini area you should wait until it is fully healed, which could be as long as 6 months,  but you should check with your obstetrician before going forward. If it laser to other parts of the body you can do it at any time, it has no effect on the healing scar.Myriam CastilloMedical Aesthetician
