Answer: Is it safe to get laser hair removal while on minoxidil?
Hello and thank you for your question. To my knowledge at home laser devices do not cause cancer. That being said, they aren’t very effective for hair removal. Its best to see a professional and get a proper treatment. Best wishes.

Hello, we don't recommending using any products prior to your laser treatment. We want the skin to be completely clean before performing a laser procedure.
Hello, no you should never do laser hair removal on accutane no matter what the dose. We will not do any laser procedures on anyone that has taken accutane in the last six months it is way too risky.
