A member asked:

Can i get laser hair removal while on the contraceptive pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Adam Levy answered

Yes: The ocps should not interfere with laser treatment. However, if there are medications to take afterwards, beware, they can reduce the birth control effect.... Basic advice...Use condoms too when on any other prescription medications.
