Dear BME,
I’m planning on getting a VCH soon. But I think I also might get laser hair removal eventually. Will the piercing get in the way? Will I have to take it out for the procedure with the risk of it closing up?
The laser used in hair and vein removal cannot be used around tattoos or body jewelry as it will “jump” towards it, in my experience.
You’ll likely have to remove your VCH jewelry before the procedure. Some techs will allow the jewelry to be covered with a cloth instead, but be prepared to remove it. Consider a glass retainer during treatments so the piercing doesn’t close up.

If you get your VCH sooner and the laser treatment later, I would say you should be fine, seeing as the treatment is not likely to take long and the piercing takes literally a couple of weeks to heal. I lost the bar from mine at a concert in a city 80 miles from home and had to wait for the end of the concert and the journey home before I could put a new bar in with no problems whatsoever!
