Laser hair removal in Bahrain is becoming increasingly popular among women. Firstly, one factor leading to the popularity of this procedure is the easy access to it. Also, the lasting effects of laser hair removal encourage women to opt for laser technology treatment.
One of the most common questions doctors are asked is if laser hair removal in Bahrain is safe during pregnancy. Well, before we answer this question, it is essential to understand your pregnancy and its effects on your skin.
Pregnancy and your skin
During pregnancy, your body experiences significant hormonal fluctuations. These hormonal changes can change your skin tone and even increase the hair growth on your body. Further, pregnancy can result in changes to your immune system and diet. This can affect your skin too. Also, during pregnancy, there are chances of pigmentation of the skin, popularly called pregnancy mask or melasma.
All these effects on the skin can be slightly overwhelming for pregnant women and the joy of being pregnant can be overshadowed by the negative impact of hormonal changes in your body and the appearance of your skin.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for pregnant women to enquire about laser hair removal in Bahrain during pregnancy.
Laser Hair removal and pregnancy
When it comes to laser hair removal for pregnant women, the general advice is NOT to undergo laser treatment during pregnancy. Although there is no scientific evidence to back the theory that laser hair removal treatment has adverse effects on the mother and baby during pregnancy, for the well-being and safety of the mother and child, laser hair removal is NOT done during pregnancy.
The lack of evidence on the effects of laser hair removal technology on pregnant women has prompted doctors to advise against laser hair removal in Bahrain during pregnancy.
Other reasons why practitioners do not perform laser hair removal in Bahrain during pregnancy:
Apart from the safety and well-being of the mother and child, doctors do not perform laser hair removal procedures on pregnant women for several other reasons:
- Qualified practitioners conduct laser hair treatment over several sessions, primarily during the phases of the hair growth cycle. However, during pregnancy, hormonal changes may affect the growth cycle of your hair. Therefore laser hair treatment during pregnancy may not be effective because of the changes in the growth cycle phases.
- Further, laser hair removal on stretched skin may not show the desired results. That is why practitioners do not perform laser hair removal procedures during pregnancy.
Laser hair removal postpartum
However, postpartum patients can efficiently undergo laser hair removal in Bahrain. Doctors generally believe that laser hair removal procedures do not adversely affect breastfeeding mothers, as long as the procedure is not performed on the chest or breast area
Further, laser hair removal treatment targets the hair follicle on the skin and does not penetrate deep enough to affect breast milk. However, ensure you speak with the best dermatologist in Bahrain before you proceed with laser hair removal treatment.
