Skin Care Tips, Notes & More

Side effects of laser hair removal are rare, but prospective customers should be aware of them. Following is a brief overview about some laser hair removal risks, their remedy and treatment.

Scarring
Most customers naturally worry about the possibility of scarring when undergoing removal of hair by laser treatment. While this has been known to happen in the past, particularly in customers with darker skin, nowadays the new laser equipment has all but eliminated this problem.

Crusting of the Dermis
10% of customers treated for laser hair removal treatment with long-pulsed ruby and alexandrite lasers may suffer from crusting. This is often because of repeatedly over treating an area of skin with laser. For these customers, appropriate postoperative care is highly recommended in order to avoid further problems.

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

Reddening
The skin may be temporarily reddened after significant laser exposure. It is one of the minor side effects of laser hair removal. Proper cooling and the use of proper exposure time during the therapy minimizes this problem.

Skin Blistering
With the development of new and efficient cooling equipment, blistering has been mostly eliminated as a risk effect of laser hair removal. Tissue cooling can be performed through a contact chill tip or ice-like spray to cool the skin. These measures serve to cool the skin from excessive thermal abuse.

Hyper Pigmentation
Regardless of the type of laser employed, there may be hyper pigmentation of skin after treatment with lasers. In this condition the skin becomes darker because of increased pigment deposition. Usually darker skin is more prone to suffer from this. The good news is that it can be effectively treated with the use of bleaching creams and is only temporary.

Skin Lightening
Lightening of the skin, or hypo pigmentation, can occur, especially in darker skin types and where there are multiple exposures to laser treatment. It normally is only temporary; permanent hypo pigmentation is almost unknown. This problem is mostly experienced with use of alexandrite, Q-switched ruby and Nd:YAG lasers.

Darkening of Tattoos
If you have tattoos in the area of skin being treated, bear in mind that darkening may happen and discuss this with your clinician before undergoing laser treatment.

The Risk of Eye Injury
Laser eye safety is vitally important during any therapy 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 customers.

How Concerned Should You Be?
laser hair removal treatment is normally a safe therapy and these side effects are very rare. side effects of laser hair removal can be reduced by having a proper knowledge of the therapy and selecting a good hair removal laser clinic and a well reputed clinician who takes care of customers after treatment difficulties and uses new and well maintained laser equipment.
