Why Should Laser Lipo Procedure Not Be Done During Periods?

Hi - I've purchased sessions of laser lipo. The spa where I purchased these through has said that if I'm on my period that I cannot have the procedure. Why is that? I have light to normal flow plus never have cramps, etc. I'm 45 and in good health. Also, I'm 5'5" and weight 160 lbs. Thanks!

Hi I'm Dr.hema......physiotherapist.

Yes,I understand your concern.
During periods, it is more an annoyance than any expected difficulties.
But there are risks of slightly higher infection or contamination rates. Yes many do lipo on menstral patients but I prefer not to. If the rescheduling is not an issue than try to change the date.

Hope the information is fruitful,in doubt you can get back to us.
