Laser hair removal risk of herpes outbreak?

January 25, 2024
Asked By:at6754 in Shelbyville, Tennessee

I’ve never had a blood test, but had what seemed to be a herpes outbreak (genital) 20 years ago. It was rough. I had one additional outbreak 14 years ago. Zero issues since. I have been waxing (full Brazilian) but had decided to get a Brazilian laser. Now I’m wondering if it is too risky. I do not want to wake a sleeping beast. Would you suggest staying away from laser in that area. I don’t want to aggravate it and have to take valtrex the rest of my life. So nervous. Thanks!
