A member asked:

How safe is it to undergo laser treatment for hair removal on face? what are the possible after effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is safe: Laser removal of hair is safe with the proper laser and proper technique. I would visit a center that has a physician on site either a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. After your treatment you must avoid the sun on the treated area to avoid dark staining of the skin.
