Laser Hair Removal vs Waxing:
Which Is Better?
Can You Have Laser Hair Removal on Your Period?
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular ways to reduce unwanted hair long term — but many clients ask, "Can I have laser during my period?"
The short answer? Yes, you can. But there are a few things worth knowing before your appointment.
Yes, It’s Safe to Have Laser on Your Period
There is no medical reason you can’t undergo laser hair removal during your period. The laser doesn’t interact with your hormones, and it doesn’t pose any risks to your body during menstruation.
However, there are some practical and comfort-related considerations, especially if you're having intimate areas (like bikini or Hollywood) treated.
You May Be More Sensitive to Pain
During your period, your pain threshold may be slightly lower due to hormonal fluctuations. This means the laser might feel a little more uncomfortable than usual.
At Victoria House Clinic, we use a cold air device to help reduce discomfort, and our practitioners will always check in with you throughout treatment.
If you're nervous, you can reschedule — but many clients go ahead and find the treatment tolerable.
Wear a Tampon or Menstrual Cup for Intimate Area Treatments
If you're booked in for bikini, Brazilian, or Hollywood laser while on your period, we do ask that you wear a tampon or menstrual cup. This ensures hygiene and safety during your session.
If you're not comfortable with this, we completely understand and can help rearrange your appointment. There is no shame or embarrassment — your comfort is our priority.
Consider Your Personal Comfort
If you're dealing with cramps, bloating, or low energy, you might prefer to reschedule. Laser hair removal isn't a relaxing treatment, and if you're already feeling off, it may not be the best time..
But if you're feeling fine and ready to go, rest assured there's no reason you can't.
