I have high blood pressure. Is it OK and safe for me to have laser hair removal?

Thank you for your question! In most cases, having a high blood pressure is not a contraindication for laser hair reduction treatments. Being that seem to be controlled with medication, I would agree with the other posts in that you shouldn't have a problem with being treated. In my practice I always go through a patients entire medical history to make sure that they are safe for any procedure before treating. I would definitely recommend you find a practice that goes over your medical history before going through with any treatment. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi there,Thank you for your question. It sounds like your blood pressure is under control, so it's safe for you to move forward with Laser Hair Removal. 

Having high blood pressure is not a contraindication to Laser Hair Removal. At Cavendish, our Medical Aestheticians always complete a detailed medical questionnaire prior to any treatment being undertaken. Treatments will not be performed if a patients is deemed unsuitable for treatment on medical grounds.

Thank you for your question. You should be okay as long as your blood pressure is controlled. There are a number of LHR devices with many settings; therefore you should be perfectfly fine. Should you feel that you have an elevated blood pressure, please see a physician before your LHR treatment.All the best

You are on a lower dose of amlodipine so assuming your blood pressure is controlled and you do not have any complications of your illness, there is nothing to prevent you from having safe laser hair removal treatment.

Hi. Thanks for your question. As long as your blood pressure is well controlled with the amlodipine, you should be able to get laser hair removal done safely. There are different types of lasers that can be used for hair removal depending on what type of skin you have. Choosing the right laser would be most important with regards to safety.
