Laser hair removal has become a highly sought-after treatment for individuals seeking long-term solutions to unwanted body hair. This non-invasive cosmetic procedure utilises laser technology to target and destroy hair follicles, resulting in reduced hair growth over time. However, as the popularity of laser hair removal grows, so too does the number of incidents involving negligent practices and injuries.
When carried out by unqualified practitioners or without proper safety measures, laser hair removal can lead to severe complications, including burns, scarring, pigmentation changes, and other long-term skin damage. If you or a loved one has experienced physical or emotional harm due to a botched laser hair removal procedure, Ison Harrison Solicitors is here to assist in seeking justice and compensation.
Common Injuries from Laser Hair Removal
While laser hair removal is generally safe when performed correctly, negligence can result in significant harm. Some of the most common injuries include:
- Burns
Improper calibration of the laser or failure to follow safety protocols can cause thermal burns, leading to pain, blistering, and potential scarring.
- Hyperpigmentation and Hypopigmentation
Incorrect use of laser equipment can result in darkened (hyperpigmentation) or lightened (hypopigmentation) patches of skin, which may take months to fade or could be permanent.
- Scarring
Severe burns or improper aftercare can lead to scarring, which may require additional treatments to minimise visibility.
- Skin Infections
Failure to maintain a sterile environment can result in infections, exacerbating the physical and emotional distress caused by the injury.
- Unsatisfactory Results
Negligence during the procedure can lead to uneven results, leaving the client dissatisfied and potentially requiring further corrective treatments.
