How safe is laser hair removal?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Risks are few: While all lasers have the potential to burn and no treatment is 100% effective laser hair removal performed by experienced hands is safe and effective. Beware of cut-rate places with poor supervision and inexperienced operators.

Yes : I had laser hair removal from my back. It hurt but the results have lasted. I required three treatments to remove 95% of the hair. You need to keep out of the sun while you are being treated to avoid darkening of the sklin.
