A member asked:
I have a mirena (levonorgestrel) coil. i would like to use hpl hair removal system on a bikini line, and i wonder if the light (hpl) can harm a mirena (levonorgestrel) coil somehow?

It shouldn't: The laser energy is absorbed by the layers of the skin and would not reach deeper into the body. Your Mirena (levonorgestrel) should be fine.
