Let’s bust some myths on laser hair removal

  1. Myth 1: Laser hair removal causes burns– Truth: The fact is that if done with a professional dermatologist, laser hair removal is a safe and efficient procedure. It will not cause you to get burns.
  2. Myth 2: Laser hair removal causes cancer – Truth: This is another myth that I always tell my patients not to worry about. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that laser hair removal leads to cancer.
  3. Myth 3: Laser hair removal is costly – Truth: A single session of waxing can seem to cost less but actually turns out to be much more over the course of your lifetime.
