Laser Hair Removal Safety
Laser hair removal safety is of prime importance when considering laser hair removal. There are a number of side effects that can potentially occur from laser hair removal. These include:
Scarring of the Skin
Hypopigmentation - This may occur on darker skinned individuals. With this condition the skin is lightened.
Hyperpigmentation – Darkening of the skin.
Incomplete Laser Hair Removal - The hair grows back after treatment with few results seen.
There are also other potential risks with laser removal. To help ensure laser hair removal safety you should:
Consult with a Board Certified Physician
Do not tan prior to your laser surgery – This may cause pigment changes in the skin.
Avoid Beta-carotene – Beta carotene prior to laser surgery effects the pigment in the skin. This may prevent the laser from fully reaching the hair follicle. Beta-carotene is present in carrots and many vegetables. It is also found in many supplements.
Be sure to discuss with your doctor your medical history and other factors that will contribute to a postive laser hair removal procedure and laser hair removal safey.
