Is it safer to do laser hair removal months after O-shot?

Question

If I were to get the o-shot, would it be safe to also do laser hair removal down there, a few months later?

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

There is no need to wait for anything between an O-shot and a laser skin procedure. You could even do them same day. If other procedures were done at the same time as the O-shot, the timing would depend on whether or not the other procedures had a time restriction.

Hello! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic provider here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center.  Yes, it's generally safe to do laser hair removal a few months after getting the O-Shot. Just make sure the area is fully healed and cleared by your provider before starting treatments.

When you get the O-Shot has no bearing on when you have laser hair removal.  Neither compromises the other's efficacy or safety.

Yes. You it is perfectly fine to do laser hair removal after receiving the O-Shot procedure. The O-Shot is specifically administered to the vaginal area where hair does not grow so it should not interfere with your treatment. One of the benefits of the O-Shot is that there's no downtime required after the procedure so you can even receive laser hair removal as soon as the next day. However, as with any combined treatments, I always recommend discussing your plans with your healthcare provider to be sure.

Hello, thanks for you question. Laser don't affect the Shot but the best is to wait 1 week after Oshot. 
thanks you so much!!

As far as getting an O shot and then having laser hair removal months later, you will not harm the effects of the O shot. The O shot is done in two areas of the vagina, both of which are not parts of your body that have hair, so the laser should never touch your clitoris or your anterior wall of your vaginal vault. Rest assured, you may have both and with the O shot being several months before, you should not be able to change the result you got after having your O shot. Good luck, I hope this helped.

After a few months after the o-shot, laser hair removal does not cause a problem. You can do it after 1 week . Wish you get well soon .

Laser hair removal does not interfere with the O-shot. Laser is not applied in the clitoral or G-spot area inside the vagina for hair removal. I would avoid laser vaginal rejuvenation right after the O-shot so it will not destroy the platelets injected but, Okay to do it right before the O-shot.
