Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can laser hair removal cause headaches? I had laser hair removal today on my upper lip for the first time and a few hours afterwards i developed a headache, which escalated into a migrane. I felt nausea and i was very sensitive to light and sound. I took advil and went to sleep. It seems to have subsided now. However, is this a result of the laser hair removal? Should i discontinue the Laser hair removal?
Hello, Thanks for the query. Slight head ache is common in the initial couple of days. As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. Generally it will settle by one week. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Wishing all the best. Thanks
