Laser hair removal?

Anyone have info on laser hair removal (for the face) during pregnancy? I asked the nurse at my appt. today and she din't seem to know.  Googled it and have found there aren't any studies on it.  I have an appt scheduled for Friday, but now considering canceling.  Thoughts?

    My dr has said that it's okay to have laser hair removal done during pregnancy. However most of the laser hair removal places will not perform it on a pregnant woman. I personally would do it, but I am not particularly paranoid about pregnancy stuff.

    I would avoid laser hair removal right now.  Pregnancy changes your hair growth and distribution so for best laser hair removal results, you should wait after you are done having children.

    I was in the middle of my laser hair removal package when I found out I was pregnant. I called the place, and they said they wouldn't do it and I could resume treatments once I had the baby.

    I also had to stop my hair removal treatment, worst part of it is that I was already almost hairless but this baby made my hair re-grow and now it's darket than before! I told my mom that I look like a gorilla now hahahah I guess I will continue my treatment only when I stop having children, or else I'll have to re-start every time and here is SUPER expensive (Holland). I pay 50 euro per session only for the armpits. Legs are 470 euro per session! I guess I'll continue shaving :'(

    I had just one session left when I found out I was pregnant. I went ahead and did it.
