Male, laser hair removal front neck. Will there be side effects?

May 4, 2015
Asked By:charon25 in Elmhurst, NY

I am a male and wanted to get laser hair removal in my front neck region near the thyroid and around adam's apple. My practitioner says that because of my skin type they will be using Nd-YAG laser on me. Since Nd-YAG penetrates deeper into the skin, will it have any side effects on the thyroid? Are there any other serious side effects of having laser hair removal in the neck region?
