Laser hair removal information


Risks involve in laser hair removal may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling that goes away within a few days.

While laser hair removal offers many benefits, it may not be for everyone. The procedure may not work on certain hair colors. The procedure doesn't seem to work very well on light-haired people, whose hair contains little melanin. Skin may also be a factor in this treatment. If you're tan or have a darker skin tone, the laser gets absorbed by the pigment in the skin and doesn't reach the hair follicle, limiting the effect of the treatment and potentially damaging the skin.

Other risks may include rare, temporary complications such as pain, swelling, redness and blisters, and permanent complications may include scarring and skin discoloration.
