Hey Guys'

Concerned about side effects from LHR. Can I get permanent damage from the laser? what about hyperpigmentation or scars?There are many risks to any kind of therapy. laser hair removal is no different and the risks although most unlikely include: 1) skin getting darker or lighter than the surrounding skin 2) blistering 3) scarring 4) bringing out a viral infection- like herpes simplex 5) damaging a tattoo in the area 6) even causing more hair to grow - in very rare cases 7) and the list goes on. A doctor proficient in lasers - although may be initially higher- will be able to minimize and avoid most of it.

Hi there, I went through LHR on my face & underarms about 7 years ago. Am happy with results, didn't have any problems due to treatment . I followed all the post treatment care such as wearing SPF and staying out of sun to avoid hyper pigmentation. I did my research before I decided where to get treated, make sure it's a reputable place. I personally had it done at a Doctors office.
