What Is Safe? Laser Hair Removal

For permanent, effective depilation, often the best option is laser hair removal. There are plenty of options, but you may be wondering about the safety of the technique. After all, when lasers can just as easily be used to cut through rock faces or carry signals for miles, using them to tidy up your bikini line before that holiday probably sounds a little drastic.

You'll probably be glad to know that the lasers involved are a little lower powered than that, but even so, you will almost certainly want to know the answers to two key questions: does it leave scars, and does it hurt?

Let's take the question of scarring to begin with. All work with lasers on the human body has the potential to cause scarring, simply because the whole point is to have the laser hot enough to do damage to the specific area targeted. In this case, the follicles. Anyone who tells you that there is absolutely no chance is either not being honest with you, or doesn't understand enough about what is involved.

At the same time, the odds on the very low powered lasers involved in this process causing scarring on your skin are remote for most people. Huge numbers of people undergo this sort of procedure every year without any problems, and there is almost certainly no reason why you should not be one of them.

Only two categories of people need to be a little more careful. The first consists of those whose skin type makes them more prone to skin damage or scars of all types. Generally, those providing the treatment should be able to help you decide if that applies to you if you do not already know. The second group consists of those taking medication which may increase their risk. Check the notes accompanying any medicine for potential side effects.

If you don't fall into one of those groups, you should be able to undergo the procedure with only minimal risk of scarring. The question then becomes one of how much it will hurt. The bad news is that it probably will hurt a little as the pulses of the laser hit your skin, but the much better news is that it probably won't hurt very much. While pain is obviously a personal matter, and everyone reacts differently, the vast majority of people who undergo this sort of depilation do so without the aid of any sort of anaesthetic gel. For the rest, those who offer the procedure keep that sort of gel on hand just in case.

With both questions, therefore, the best answer is probably 'not very much'. While there are a small number of exceptions, getting rid of unwanted hair in this way is generally very safe and pain free. One key to ensuring that your experience matches that expectation is to make sure that you use only a reputable, experienced service for your needs. Do that, and you should have no problem with your laser hair removal.
