Does taking magnesium supplements or zinc cause body hair regrowth for someone doing laser hair removal sessions?

Jay90201Mar 12, 2021
I know biotin messes up laser hair removal progress on the body, but how about taking omega supplements or magnesium and zinc for example? Do they cause the hair on the body to regrow while someone is doing a monthly full body laser hair removal at a clinic?

Hello! Thank you for your question. We do recommend shaving 24 hours prior to your treatment, however we will do for you if need be.

GentlemaxPro and Cutera Excel HR both are Nd Yag technology. In addition, the amount of hair treatment sessions depend on your hair growth cycle and the NOT the NdYag technology. Either companies are safe and competent for your skin type.

Minocycline is a photosensitive antibiotic medication. you should not get laser hair removal while on any photosensitive medication. this should be detailed in any prescreening laser paperwork
