Do I have any risk of acquiring something from Brazilian laser hair removal?

Isa1993
I have been getting Brazilian laser hair removal and I suddenly became scared of possibly contracting something. My technician doesn’t use gauges and just places the machine on my vagina including the inside of the labia majora, which touches the outside of the labia minora. I’ve never see them sterilize I just trust that they do. Is it possible to contract and STD or STI or anything else for that matter? Thank you.
