Lasers create a beam of highly concentrated light that penetrates into the skin where it delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat. This light energy is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to destroy numerous follicles at a time and leaves the surrounding skin unaffected. It should not effect deeper tissues and other structures such as bone.

My recommendations for treatment of burns in the skin are as follows: 1. Keep the areas clean by washing with a mild soap twice daily. 2. If there is blistering, relieve the pressure and hasten healing time by gently popping all blisters using a sterile needle or pin at the side of the...
Thank you for your question. It is okay to breast feed during laser hair removal treatment. This is no risk to the baby. You should not have laser treatment when pregnant.
