Does laser hair removal cause scarring?
Any laser procedure can cause scarring, and this is included as a risk on most consent forms you will sign prior to
laser treatment. However, the risk of scarring from laser hair removal is rather small and is a function of many things including:
|
|
The
experience, skill, knowledge and training of the
laser operator
Your
particular ability to heal
The
amount of melanin pigment in your skin with
greater
risk for darker skin types
Type
of laser used
Temporary Pigmentary Changes
Many people experience pigmentary changes, either
lightening of the skin or darkening of skin,
following a laser procedure. Most of time this is
not scarring, even though people often believe that
it is. Pigmentary changes following laser procedures
are usually resolve in a period of weeks to months.
