Spa Treatment: Laser Hair Removal and Diabetes

I bet a dermatologist would do the laser treatment for you. Good luck.

That sucks! I imagine it’s ignorance AND liability. I’ve had it at a dermatologists office with no issues - going to a doctor’s office for the laser treatment is probably the best next step. :slight_smile:

How bizarre…I have had several laser hair treatments and there is nothing that would be a problem there. Only if you had a really bad tech that accidentally zapped you so much that you got a slight burn would there be any issue, and that would be for anyone whether they were diabetic or not. As others have said, probably a liability thing. I have had massage therapists refuse me treatment as well. Just go somewhere else, or you can even buy the machines now on Amazon for $300 or so and do it yourself.

Or just don’t tell people who aren’t actually medical personnel (i.e. Spa ā€œtherapistsā€) anything about your medical history…
