Laser hair removal

The depth of penetration of this light energy should not be deep enough to penetrate the inner tissues of the testicle. It would be prudent for the doctor to check with the company of the laser they use specifically, in terms of your question before proceeding with your treatment. Different lasers have different wavelengths of visible light.
