Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXwelcome to HealthcareMagic.
I am Dr Muhammed Aslam here to help you.
Laser removal of unwanted hair is a local superficial procedure,usually without any systemic side effects,though it can have some short term local discomfort at the procedure site that subsides in few days with proper supportive treatment.
Mean while,you please inform your treating doctor about your plan,as it may need adjustments in your daily steroid dose.
Hope I have answered your query.If you have any further questions,I will be happy to help.
Wishing you healthy days ahead.Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
