One of the most important things to keep in mind when considering laser hair removal treatment is safety. This means understanding all the potential side effects and best way to protect yourself from them.

Can Laser Hair Removal Cause Scarring?

Because laser hair removal can potentially burn the skin, it can cause scarring. This is especially true for people with tattooed and tanned skin.

However, this doesn’t mean that laser is unsafe. Many people with sensitive skin have had great success with laser hair removal. The key to success is knowledge and safety.

How to Avoid Scarring With Laser Hair Removal?

To avoid scarring, make sure you take the proper precautions. After all, the goal of laser hair removal is to make your skin look better, not worse!

Reduce Your Risk of Getting Burned

When you undergo laser hair removal, there is always the risk of getting burned. If done correctly, burns are easy to avoid. However, there are many factors that can increase your chances of this greatly. Before going in for your laser appointment, make sure you are familiar with the main causes of getting burned and how to prevent it from happening to you.

Use the Right Laser for Your Skin

There are several types of lasers on the market that can be used for hair reduction. Some of them perform better on some skin types than others, so it is important to know which kind of laser your technician is using.

The Diode LightSheer Laser is one of the best available because it delivers safe and effective results across nearly all skin tones and types. Additionally, its patented “ChillTip” works to constantly cool the skin during treatment, providing maximum comfort and safety.  

Maintain the Right Skin Care Before, Between, and After Laser Hair Removal Treatments

Pre- and post-treatment skin care is one of the biggest success factors for laser hair removal.

When preparing for laser hair removal, make sure your skin is shaved and clean. Between treatments, be sure to avoid sun contact, as tanned skin increases the risk of burning. And after laser hair removal, moisturize well and regularly.

If you do find that you became burned after a laser session, be sure to apply a gentle soothing ointment such as Vitamin E oil, aloe vera, or coconut oil.
