Who underwent treatments while pregnant?

Hello all,

I did a search regarding pregnancy and electrolysis. It looks like it’s up to the customer, but I was wondering if someone here went through electrolysis treatments during pregnancy.

I’ve been going to an electrologist for 3 months for facial hair (no hormonal issue, just vellus). She’s very good and I’m 100% satisfied with the results. But I’m planning on trying to get pregnant this year and she tells me that she refuses to treat pregnant women. She says there were no sufficient studies. Basically, I think that she doesn’t want to be held responsible if a customer has a miscarriage for any given reason, and I respect that.

I’ve contacted the board of electrologists, here in Quebec, and they told me that pregnant women can be treated with thermolysis with a pedal. That’s what my electrologist uses, but like I said, she won’t do it, so I would have to find someone else.

Anyway, I’m worried about postponing my treatments if I get pregnant. I’m really happy with the results and I want to clear my face as soon as possible. So, is there anyone here who underwent treatments while pregnant? Honestly, I’m no scientist, but the way thermolysis work, I wonder how it could affect an unborn child. But maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks in advance!

I think it more of a liability issue and she wants to protect herself from any doubts that may stir up if a less than perfect baby is born.

After 130 years of women getting electrolysis on this planet, it is self-evident that thermolysis is safe for preganant women. The thing that makes it unsafe are verbally adept lawyers that can convince a jury that ANYTHING is responsible for a less than perfect baby.

What does your doctor think?

Thank you for your answer.

I haven’t seen my doctor yet. But my electrologist says that all her clients that are doctors stopped their treatments during pregnancy. Hmmm…

As I understand it, thermolysis is local and doesn’t travel through the body, so I really don’t get how it could affect the fetus.

It can’t, but motherly instinct and doctors fearing lawsuits makes for an easy decision to put it on hold for 8 or 9 months.

There are a lot of other environmental and internal things that a mother ingests during pregnancy that can harm a fetus more so than a very minute energy given off by electrolysis.
