No evidence for that: Hello it is very important to go to a person that has a lot of experience in laser therapy and has a medical education ( md, rn, pa) the most common side effects with lasers are burns, skin color changes and bruises. There is no data pointing to any relationship to causing a cancer or causing sterility. Never have a laser treatment when pregnant or breast feeding, .

Not described: This is not a known or described complication of laser hair removal. Concerns primarily related to skin type and tanning ability and tendency to burn.
