What about dying or highlighting hair?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The LASERS used for hair removal are safe and have a low penetrating power.
These can be used during pregnancy.
Books dont mention pregnancy as contraindication.
However in my view you should avoid LASER on abdomen area.
On face you can use it safely, there wont be any harm to the fetus.
Dying and highlighting is totally fine, It can be done in pregnancy.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
