In the wrong hands of an operator who is not properly trained, lasers can be extremely dangerous and any procedure carried out with a laser could cause scarring if used incorrectly. Scarring from Laser Hair Removal can be caused by:

• Having treatment from an operator who has not undergone thorough training
• If laser is used on the wrong skin type, this can cause burning and pigmentation
• Skins with a history of scarring such as Keloid may not be suitable for treatment
• If on Roaccutane or Isotretonoin, it is recommended to wait a year after taking these medications to avoid burning or scarring
