Can laser hair removal for breast hair cause cancer?

Question

If u get laser hair removal on your breasts will it cause breast cancer since it’s laser and on ur Brest?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, there is no evidence laser hair removal causes breast cancer. Diode, alexandrite and yag lasers work best for hair removal. I typically have patients do every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. It will take a series of treatments and some people need treatments to maintain. See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer

Absolutely not. Laser hair removal is a very safe procedure. It can be performed in any body area without creating changes in the skin, or in the underlying tissue and will not change the DNA of your body. With any aesthetic procedure make sure it is performed in a medical setting with expertise in laser technology.
