During pregnancy, there are a million little things to worry about, but hair removal should not be one of them. The hormonal changes that come with pregnancy often cause excessive hair growth, and not always in hidden places. As a result, many women turn to hair removal methods to help keep unwanted hair in check. Depending on how far along you may be, traditional hair removal methods may be difficult to perform on your own, or even impossible. Beauty Fairy discusses our Richmond Hill Laser Hair Removal so you can decide whether or not this is the right option for you.

Common Hair Growth During Pregnancy

The most common places that have extra hair growth during pregnancy are the back, breast, stomach, face, and neck. Of course, any area that normally grows hair will also see an increase in thickness and length. Excessive hair may seem like a cosmetic issue, but it can make staying clean harder or even lead to feelings of low self-esteem. Getting rid of excessive hair safely is important during pregnancy. Growing babies are sensitive to procedures and chemicals while in the womb. As a result, it may be hard to understand just which hair removal methods are safe and which should be avoided during pregnancy.

Pregnancy Safe Hair Removal

A few methods of safe hair removal can be used during pregnancy. Waxing and shaving are two of the most common ways to get rid of unwanted hair. They are followed by threading and plucking. Before waxing, make sure to prep the skin to prevent blemishes and reduce the chance of infection from open cuts.

Uncertain Hair Removal Methods

A few hair removal methods may or may not be safe during pregnancy. These are mainly laser hair removal, cream hair removal, bleaching, and electrolysis. There have been no in-depth studies that show if there are side effects to using these hair removal methods, but when in doubt, they should be avoided.

While pregnant it is a good idea not to take risks with your growing baby. That means voided light pulses, chemicals, and electrical pulses. Any hair removal method that utilizes any of these should be delayed until after giving birth. Laser hair removal is very safe, but there is not enough research to prove that there is no effect on an unborn fetus. When it comes to the safety of our clients and their children, we always suggest erring on the side of caution.
