Answer: Is laser hair removal safe for WHOLE face or any part of it? Does it cause pigmentation or causes ageing etc.
Thank you for your question. Dying blond hair does not make laser hair removal effective. There are no Lasers on the market that can remove blond or red colored hair. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeons office for the best treatment options.
Thank you for your question. Skin on the genital area is usually darker than other areas of the body. If the laser is not set for the difference from one area to another it can result in burns. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeons office to further evaluate the issue.
Laser hair removal burns are very common but should not be happening if you go to a well trained physician. I suggest wound care with janmarini bioshield and dermflage. Best, Dr. Emer.
