Is IPL facial or IPL underarm safe for Pregnant Mothers?

[CHi@SeedM0mmy]

Hi ladies, I'm a first-time mum currently in first trimester. Had done IPL facial & IPL underarm before I found out I was pregnant. Was thinking if anyone here is still undergoing IPL hair removal treatment (just face and underarm, not in sensitive areas such as genitals, breast or stomach). Is there anyone here who is or has gone into IPL treatment and it's ok?

I'm with Musee Platinum and I informed them that I am pregnant. They say no treatments to be done during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The consultant said something along the lines of pregnant lady having sensitive skin or and changes in skin during pregnancy.

She said that some mummies even come back for treatments after 5 years (due to having second child). My package has no expiry date. You can check with your IPL provider and also consider sugaring/waxing

Same with waxing, it's not allowed for pregnant women.
