Can laser hair removal be performed during the menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can laser hair removal be performed during the menstrual period?

Doctor's answer:

Laser hair removal utilizes specific wavelengths of laser to selectively destroy melanin in hair during the growth phase, achieving the effect of hair removal, without any impact on surrounding skin tissues such as sebaceous glands and sweat glands. Generally, there is no problem undergoing laser hair removal treatment during the menstrual period. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, keep a positive mood, enhance physical exercise, moderate sexual activity, and avoid overexertion. In terms of diet, consume more nutritious and easily digestible foods. Avoid greasy foods, and refrain from eating cold, raw, or spicy foods.
