Can periaereolar hair removal by laser cause nerve ending damage of the nipples?

Question

Yesterday I had my first session of laser hair removal around the nipples, today I feel a significant decrease in sensation of the nipples , is this a well established side effect? Could this be permanent?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Laser hair removal cannot cause decreased sensitivity to the nipple area. I suggest you speak to your physician if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.
