Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: It depends. But don’t let this worry you; laser hair removal is generally incredibly safe (and effective) when performed by an experienced, qualified professional using proper equipment. 

It’s been around for decades, and the technology has improved dramatically, especially for different skin tones and hair types.

Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light beams (lasers) to target the pigment in hair follicles. The heat from the laser damages the follicle to stop or slow down future hair growth. Yes it sounds straightforward, but because lasers are involved, it’s crucial that the treatment is handled by someone who knows what they’re doing.
