Why Does Laser Epilation Cause Burns?

???? Laser Use That Is Not Suitable for Skin Type:

Alexandrite laser for light skin-dark hair combination
Diode or Nd:YAG laser should be used for people with dark or dark skin.
If Alexandrite laser is applied to people with dark skin, the risk of burns increases.

???? Setting the Power of the Device High:

If the laser device is applied at a high energy level that is not suitable for the skin type, burns may occur on the skin.

Laser Application on Sunburned or Tanned Skin:

Laser epilation may cause burns on sunburned or tanned skin.
It is necessary not to sunbathe for at least 2 weeks before the procedure.

???? Improper Care After Laser:

Exposure to the sun after laser can cause burns and spots.
If sunscreen (SPF 50+) is not used, burn marks may darken.
???? Some Drugs and Chemicals:

When skin products containing antibiotics, retinoids or acids are used before laser, the skin may become sensitive and the risk of burns may increase.
