Pregnancy produce hair on my face,

The hormones changes during pregnancy can cause more of your hair to enter into the resting phase and resulting in the appearance of thicker hair. Usually, this extra hair shows up on your face, arms, belly, nipples or other unwanted places.
Then, whether can I have a laser hair removal treatment during pregnancy?
It’s really difficult to get a clear cut answer to this scary question. Although laser radiations are electromagnetic radiations that are very different from X-Ray radiations. Lasers have a wavelength similar to light and penetrate only up to few millimeters under skin, It is not able to infiltrate deep inside to the embryo or fetus and hence if out of harm's way. But, There have not been any studies done comprehensively to find out how laser hair removal can affect the fetus especially when it is done on abdomen or bikini area.
