Which of the following is NOT a contraindication for laser hair removal?

The correct answer is the scenario involving recent hair removal, as it is not typically considered a contraindication for laser hair removal. While recent hair removal, such as shaving or waxing, may affect the treatment temporarily, it does not pose a significant risk to the client’s health or safety. In fact, some practitioners may suggest that clients shave the treatment area a day or two before the procedure to ensure optimal results and prevent hair from being present above the skin during the laser treatment.

On the other hand, other listed conditions like a history of skin disorders, active infections, and certain hormonal conditions can have serious implications for laser hair removal procedure safety. Skin disorders may indicate a compromised skin barrier, increasing the risk of adverse reactions. Active infections can also lead to complications during treatment due to the possibility of exacerbating the condition. Additionally, certain hormonal conditions may affect hair growth cycles and skin sensitivity, potentially influencing outcomes and needing careful consideration before proceeding with laser hair removal.
