    quick question here, but does anyone here know of any problems getting piercings would have while getting laser done? like, would either interfere with each other or cause problems?

    thanks

    As in, if you had a piercer near to the area where you were having laser surgery, then it seems like yes, the laser would be attracted to the metallic object. It makes sense, and I've read about people taking them out, or putting bioplast in, or apparently some practitioners will let you cover it with a cloth.

    Just take it out for the lasering no? Any potential situation is resolved then

    ok, but like if I was to get pierced in between treatments, which are every month give or take, would it give the piercing enough time to heal so I could take it out, or could the piercing be further irritated by the laser if it was still healing?

    No, you'd really want to wait 6-8 weeks before taking it out even temporarily.

    ok, thanks guys ;)

    I guess I'll have to wait until I'm finished or taking a break from the laser treatment before getting a piercing. could get something else pierced in the mean time :)

    Instead of having a lip ring in during laser, see if they will stick a bar in and cover it over when getting laser. Either that or cover what you have links. May work.
