Will a Laser Acne Treatment while trying to get pregnant affect the chances for pregnancy?

The best answer to this question is to get with your OBGYN to discuss your plans for pregnancy and ask them for clearance to proceed with the treatments. You should know however that once you are pregnant, you will need to stop the treatments until your doctor clears you to resume them.

There has been no research to show that laser treatments will affect your ability to conceive. In fact, the laser energy used in dermatalogic lasers is "non-mutagenic" energy or non cancer causing, so it is very safe. At the same time we say this, we also discourage women who are breastfeeding or pregnant from undergoing cosmetic treatments elsewhere and we do not allow such treatments in our office while patients are pregnant or breastfeeding.
