Complication of Laser Hair Removal

As with any laser treatment, complications can occur with laser hair removal. You must be aware that they may occur and be able to identify them and treat them appropriately. With laser hair removal, redness and swelling of the hair follicle, known medically as erythematic and per follicular edema are "normal" events seen with most laser hair removal procedures. On occasion, pain and discomfort will occur with laser hair removal- most of this can be easily treated with over-the-counter pain medicines. Excessive pain during the procedure, especially during successive laser hair removal procedures should be brought to the laser technician's attention immediately, so laser setting may be adjusted. Other adverse events, although rare, are seen and should be reported immediately. These include blisters and burns, which can occur with every one of the devices on the market, and especially if there is a recent history of sun exposure or if one goes into the sun immediately after the procedure. Clients should be advised to avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week following all laser hair removal procedures. Blisters and burns, although rare, do occur, and on occasion, will lead to either too much or too little pigment remaining in the skin, conditions known as hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation. And even rarer, true scarring results with raised red scars known as hypertrophic scars and keloids. Loss of freckles or lightening of moles in the treatment area may occur, as well as darkening or lightening of tattoos.
