Are There Any Side Effects Of Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. Highly concentrated light is beamed down onto the targeted hair follicles where it is absorbed into the pigment, causing the hair to be destroyed. It is a convenient, affordable, non-invasive way to permanently reduce unwanted hair, but does it come with any risks?

The great thing about laser hair removal is that it’s safe and non-invasive. Typically, the only side effect of laser hair removal treatment is some discomfort during and immediately following treatments. Patients may be given ice packs after treatment to help ease any possible discomfort. Taking and anti-inflammatory medication prior to treatment may also help to minimize discomfort.

It is important to remember that not just anyone should administer laser hair removal treatments. The person operating the laser matters. Make sure he or she is experienced and certified to deliver treatment to assure the best results and eliminate unnecessary risks.
