Laser Hair Removal Side Effects

Side effects of laser hair removal are uncommon, but prospective patients should be cognizant of them. Following is a brief commentary about some Laser Hair Removal Side Effects, their control and treatment.

Scarring
The biggest worry most clients have regarding Removal Of Hair By Laser is whether there is a chance of any permanent scarring to the skin. The good news is that with today’s effective equipment, scarring is now very rarely experienced as a problem caused by laser hair removal.

Crusting
10% of patients treated for laser hair removal with long-pulsed ruby and alexandrite lasers may suffer from crusting. This is often as a result of repeatedly over treating an area with laser. In these cases, appropriate post treatment care is very much recommended in order to avoid further side effects.

Wound Infection
Wound infection is uncommon after laser procedures. If by chance any wounds are to be seen on the skin after laser hair removal, infection can be controlled with antibiotic and anti viral agents.

Reddening After Treatment
The skin may be transiently reddened after repeated laser exposure. It is one of the minor side effects of laser hair removal. Efficient cooling and the use of the correct exposure time during the procedure minimizes this side effect.
Skin Blistering
With the introduction of new and efficient cooling devices, blistering has been almost eliminated as a problem caused by laser hair removal. Tissue cooling can be done through a contact chill tip or freezing spray to safeguard the skin. These measures serve to safeguard the skin from getting too hot.
Tattoo Darkening
If there are tattoos in the area being treated, be aware that darkening sometimes happens and discuss this with your medical specialist before undergoing laser procedures.
Darkening of the Skin
Whichever the type of laser used, there may be hyper pigmentation of skin after exposure to lasers. In this condition the skin darkens as a result of increased pigment deposition. Usually tanned skin is more prone to suffer from this. The good news is that it can be readily treated with the use of bleaching agents and is only temporary.
Lightening of the Skin
Lightening of the skin, or hypo pigmentation, can be experienced, especially in tanned skin types and where there are multiple exposures to laser procedures. It normally is only temporary; permanent hypo pigmentation is rarely documented. This side effect is mostly experienced with use of alexandrite, Q-switched ruby and Nd:YAG lasers.
The Risk of Eye Damage
Laser eye safety is vitally important during any procedure involving lasers. To safeguard yourself from any damage to the eyes, wavelength-specific laser safety eye protection gear must be employed by both operators and patients.

How Concerned Should You Be?
Assuming that you pick a professional laser clinic, then in the hands of a fully qualified medical specialist with all the necessary safety precautions you will probably not experience any of the above side effects of laser hair removal.
