there has been studies conducted already but none showed results that it could harm the baby. technically, it is a safe procedure since laser does not penetrate beyond the skin. however, most clinics would not accept you as patient if your pregnant. for some clinics who does, they would stay away from your breast and abdominal area.

there might not be studies yet that shows laser hair removal procedure can harm the baby. but, if im the mother,i would not risk it. i'd glady endure the inconvenience of unwanted hair on my body than risk my baby's development.

i must agree.
the baby is far more important than those unwanted hairs.
you can wait after the baby is born.

It's not really known whether it's safe or not therefore they recommend you stop during your pregnancy and continue after the birth. I too, had to postpone my treatments until after I have the baby.
