Ronald Shelton, MD answers: Breakouts from laser hair removal

I developed a horrible breakout from GentleLase, and didn't have great results with Aurora. When using the GentleLase the resulting breakouts were literally impossible to bear so I stopped those treatments. As for the Aurora, I really believe it has stopped working on me. Will LightSheer produce better results? I'm light-skinned (which does tan) with darker hair.

Many laser surgeons still think that Light Sheer is the safest laser for hair removal. Remember that many treatments are needed, often more than 8, and no one can guarantee results, but approximately 80% of patients receive about 80% reduction in hair count as a long term result.
