A member asked:
Can you go get laser hair removal if you are taking iron tablets, three times a day? will i get discoloration of the skin.

Should not: Iron supplementation should not worsen your potential for pigmentation unless you have a pre-existing tendency.

No: Laser hair removal discoloration is possible if the skin has pigmented spots. Iron intake itself is not a contraindication. It also depends on the skin color and type of laser being used.
