The probability of undesirable side effects, namely complications, is 2-10% in people who have undergone laser epilation. In other words, according to studies, an undesirable effect occurs in an average of 6 out of 100 people treated. The biggest reason for this is; Inappropriate parameter selection (wavelength, pulse duration, current) and insufficient cooling during laser application. Unfortunately, it's all about price. Laser hair removal prices are lower when done with old technology cheap devices. The low price is perceived as an advantage by people. However, the possibility of side effects increases with the wrong device.

The most common side effect is burns. In cases where the laser energy is excessive, the patient may state that he feels long-lasting tingling and burning in the operation area, brown spots occur in the area due to the burn, the crusts fall off after about 2 weeks. Color changes are often temporary, but can sometimes be permanent. If it hurts too much during the procedure, the procedure should be stopped. It is very important that the skin is sunbathing before the laser session. Tanned people are much more likely to get burns. Hair growth due to laser epilation is a complication that makes people very unhappy. It is mostly seen in people with dark skin, thin hair and younger age. Laser epilation is recommended for the treatment of this condition, the mechanism of which is not fully understood. Much less common side effects; increased sweating, urticaria, acne increase can be counted.The most important thing to consider when having laser epilation is to wear protective glasses. If the laser beam hits the eye directly, it causes permanent damage to vision.
