I Have Some Pain in my Wrist Bone After Doing 6 Treatments of Laser Hair Removal Why?

Question

Mitchell Schwartz, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

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.

Unsure exactly from the question - was your wrist treated? Or where was the hair removal done? Regardless, hair removal lasers do not penetrate deep enough to hit bone, so I would say the pain is unrelated to your hair removal treatments.
