But is it safe, and is it worth the cost?
Laser hair removal isn’t as simple as one treatment and you’re hairless forever.
Most people classify it as sunburn-like, and it is usually a quickly-passing reaction.
These changes usually fade over time.
It is essential practitioners use appropriate measures and protective equipment to protect themselves and their clients.
More serious side effects, like scarring, are also possible although they are less common.
Taking care of the affected area properly after treatment is the best way to prevent this.
When the laser is used to remove hair, a small black plume of smoke occurs.
“That seemed to make sense.
But the black plume that comes out [during the procedure] was unsettling.
And I found all these chemicals that were shocking.”
What are the health implications?
The medical field is just beginning to understand them.
