Can laser hair removal make you feel sick?

Have you ever left a waxing appointment feeling more than just the sting of hair removal? Perhaps a sense of dread at the thought of doing it all over again in a few weeks? Or maybe you’re battling with unwanted hair due to hormonal changes? And find the constant upkeep not only exhausting but also emotionally draining. If you’re considering laser hair removal but are concerned about potential side effects, such as feeling unwell post-treatment, let’s set the record straight. Can laser hair removal make you feel sick?

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, effectively reducing hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin. It’s very popular for those looking for a more permanent solution to unwanted hair, offering a clean, sleek appearance without the constant need for shaving or waxing.

Laser hair removal is widely regarded as safe and effective, especially when performed by certified professionals. However, like any treatment, it can have side effects, though serious complications are rare.

Can laser hair removal make you feel sick?

It’s uncommon for laser hair removal to cause sickness or nausea directly. However, anxiety about the procedure, especially among first time patients, can lead to feelings of nausea. Although I must say in my 20 years of treating patients this has never been the case with any of my patients. Ensuring you are well-hydrated and have eaten a light meal before your session can help mitigate these feelings. If you feel nervous about the treatment, that is ok too, just ensure you express this to your practitioner who can offer reassurance and adjustments to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Does it have any side effects?

While laser hair removal is generally painless and safe, some individuals might experience minor side effects. The most common are sensations of discomfort, redness, and swelling around the treatment area, similar to sunburn. These symptoms are typically short-lived and can be eased with ice packs or over-the-counter pain relief.
