is laser hair removal safe to do on the tummy, because as a girl, I feel like it might mess with my hormones or something?

Question

I feel like if I do laser on my tummy, since my uterus is there, wouldnt that cause some issues or complications if I were to get pregnant later on? Because I've heard of the risks of cancer that are associated with laser hair removal. Is that true?

Hi Phenomenal882314

As long as the hair is darker than your skin tone than you are a candidate for laser hair removal.   The Lumenis Duet is the newest innovation in hair removal.  Not only is it really fast, but it is relatively painless! For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Hello, laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair anywhere on the body.  It is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction and there do not appear to be any long-term health risks associated with the procedure.  Any side effects after laser hair removal are generally minor and temporary in nature.
