Brazilian laser hair removal and period?

Question

My periods are irregular and tomorrow is my laser hair removal appointment and my period is starting. Idk what to do. They require 48 hrs in advance to cancel. Should I get my other areas done tomorrow and reschedule my Brazilian??

Thank you for your question in regards to laser hair removal. It is best to discuss with your provider on what they prefer you to do. Being on your cycle will not impact the results of treatment, but may be a little more sensitive in that area during treatments. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more 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 treatment. I hope this helps.

You can have laser hair removal while on your period. Keep in mind, it will take a series of treatments. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question. Generally, there isn’t any specific medical reason that can stop you from getting a laser treatment while you are having your periods. It is always better to consult your doctor and have a personalized evaluation of your health condition. In addition, being on your cycle will not influence the outcomes of laser treatment. There is a chance of enhanced sensitivity in that area during treatments. You can definitely wear a tampon if you are comfortable, and by doing so, you should face no additional problems with the procedure.I hope this helps. Good luck

It is absolutely fine to use a tampon and have laser treatment on the Brazilian area during your period. If the area is a bit more delicate during the procedure, your doctor may adjust the settings of the laser so that you feel comfortable during the treatment.

There is no reason to cancel. If you are comfortable using a tampon, that would be a good approach. Ask your doctor!
