Can pregnant women do laser hair removal? Does laser hair removal cause radiation to pregnant women?

In daily life, many girls who love beauty usually do hair removal, so that they will look better when showing their arms and legs in summer. So here we want to know whether pregnant women can do laser hair removal? Does laser hair removal have radiation for pregnant women?

Pregnant women cannot undergo laser hair removal because it may affect the health of the fetus. During laser hair removal, a beam of light of a certain intensity will be irradiated on the skin. The temperature of this beam is relatively high, and there is a certain amount of radiation, which may affect the development of the fetus. Therefore, pregnancy should not be laser hair removal. Pregnant women can wait until the child is born to fully recover before undergoing laser hair removal surgery. "Permanent hair removal" mainly uses laser hair removal, which has a certain high-tech content and a strong physical basis. Its main principle is to apply the concept of physics, that is, the color of a certain substance, the optical absorption rate of a specific wavelength must be the strongest. After the hair follicles are necrotic, the hair will stop growing, thus achieving the purpose of hair removal. This is called selective treatment in medicine. Because only this wavelength of melanin is most sensitive to melanin, and the melanin content in human skin is extremely small, this laser can directly penetrate the skin and reach the hair follicles, but will not burn the skin.

Laser hair removal still has an impact on pregnant women. The laser technology used in laser hair removal has a certain amount of radiation. If you are pregnant, laser radiation may cause fetal malformation and affect the normal intrauterine development of the fetus. Generally, we do not recommend laser hair removal and other laser beauty treatments during pregnancy. If you are preparing for pregnancy, laser hair removal can be performed. Laser hair removal laser destroys hair follicles through external high temperature and absorbs melanin, and does not affect the uterus, eggs, etc. It is okay to get pregnant after laser hair removal. If you have laser hair removal after pregnancy, you must pay attention to timely prenatal examinations, and strictly check during pregnancy. Especially go to the hospital for Down's screening around 14 to 19 weeks of pregnancy, and do four-dimensional color ultrasound and other examinations for malformation screening at 22 to 26 weeks of pregnancy to better clarify the development of the fetus. If deformities occur, they should be dealt with in a timely manner.

If there is a mole in the area where laser hair removal is to be performed, you should first check whether the mole is benign or malignant, and then decide whether to perform laser hair removal. Most of the current laser hair removal devices are still very safe, but if the method is not properly mastered, blisters and scars will also occur. Therefore, when undergoing laser treatment, you must choose a regular medical institution for treatment to avoid complications. Because after laser hair removal treatment, the skin is irradiated by laser, and the photosensitivity will increase, so you must pay attention to sun protection after laser hair removal. There are three ways to remove hair: Freezing point hair removal mainly irradiates the skin with low energy density, gently making the hair follicles and growth stem cells lose their growth activity. During the freezing point hair removal process, there may be slight skin pain, but it will disappear over time, and no anesthesia is required. Second, photon hair removal: Photon hair removal requires 3-5 times to complete the entire course of treatment, generally with an interval of 20-45 days as a course of treatment. Its principle is that it can selectively penetrate the hair follicles, be absorbed by the melanin of the hair follicles, produce selective destruction, and cause the hair follicles to degenerate and atrophy, thereby achieving the effect of hair removal. Third, laser hair removal: Laser hair removal mainly uses specific strong pulsed light to penetrate the surface of the skin, reach the root of the hair follicles directly, destroy the hair follicles, and stop the hair from growing. At the same time, it does not damage the surrounding tissues and does not affect the secretion of sweat glands.

I can tell you clearly that it will not affect perspiration. In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. There is a concept called sweat pores. It seems that hair and sweat glands are together. But in fact, hair follicles and sweat glands are two independent tissues. Although they are adjacent, they are not together, and there is not a lot of melanin in the sweat glands. Laser or photon hair removal mainly acts on the melanin in the hair follicles. Melanin absorbs a lot of energy, thereby damaging the hair follicles. But there is not much melanin in the sweat glands, and it has almost no effect on them. Therefore, laser or photon hair removal will not damage the sweat glands and will not affect normal perspiration.
