Is using the at-home Philips Lumea on my breasts dangerous in any way?

Question

I was wondering using laser removal on all over the breast area (i`m 21 years old girl). Is it dangerous in any possible way?

Hello. While at-home laser devices aren’t as strong or powerful as professional laser treatments, they can still cause complications like burns and hyperpigmentation if you’re not careful. You might consider consulting a professional to inquire about your in-office laser treatment options to ensure your safety and more effective results.

Thank you for your question.
You should probably seek the help of the Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon before deciding on these over the counter remedies. IPL works well (Although I have no experienced of the device you have mentioned), but both for safety and efficacy one should first consult a physician. All The Best !

Hi, thank you for your question. I would in general recommend seeking out a laser expert for an in-person evaluation and treatment plan. There are many factors that go into choosing the best method of hair removal, and consulting with an expert will ensure that you pursue the safest, most effective strategy.

Be extra careful while using at-home laser equipment. It is always better to consult an experienced service provider before using such a device..

Home laser power has increased in last few years. Be aware that there can be burns on the areola as that part is pigmented and can retain more heat energy. Rest of the area is as normal skin. Best is to get treated in professional settings by a doctor.
