I recently have been given a prescription for a blood thinner due to some concerns about clotting.  I found some various documentation that you shouldn't have laser with blood thinners but it is fairly basic in it's explanation ("You can't"). 

As I don't take "can't" for an acceptable answer, I thought I would ask if any others have either had laser hair removal while on a blood thinner or know of the "why" you shouldn't.  My Google-Fu has come up with nary a thing.  Perhaps all that exists is opinion without knowledge.

The only thing I can think of is a risk of severe bruising - maybe.  Skin punctures don't happen with laser so I don't believe the warning would be about uncontrollable bleeding.
