| 1. Hyperpigmentation (Darkening of the Skin) –
usually this is temporary, but in rare cases it can be permanent or
long lasting.
2. Hypopigmentation (Lightening of the Skin) – of particular
concern to African American skin types or Darker Middle eastern skin
types, as a result, AOI has chosen not to treat these skin types.
3. Hair Changes - re-growth hair can be lighter and finer. In
rare cases hair growth can be triggered in areas beside the treated
areas. This hair can also be treated with further laser treatments,
and is extremely rare.
4. Scab Formation or crusting of skin – seldom occurs, and if it
does it is temporary and can be treated by applying Vaseline to keep
it moist till it goes away.
Please be sure to discuss your questions or concerns with your
AOI Laser technician in a FREE consultation.
Understanding what is involved in your treatment and properly
assessing the risks and benefits of under going laser hair removal
is important to decide if it is the right thing for you and your
hair removal expectations. |
