What are some of the negative long term effects of laser hair removal?

I wonder, fairly often, how well things are thought through. Things like tattoos are obvious in the long term. But what about things people do to hide things? I'm personally convinced that botox could very well be one of the causes of the zombie apocalypse. But what about these other things, such as laser hair removal.. that simply defy human adaptation?

What are your best guesses as to what will happen? Sources not needed, amusing photoshop is encouraged.

According to mayoclinic.com, on negative long term effects of laser hair removal, it was posted that:

"Complications from laser hair removal are rare if you go to a qualified doctor. Bleeding during the laser treatment is extremely rare, as is the possibility of infection resulting from treatment.

Side effects from laser hair removal include, but are not limited to:

* Incomplete hair removal or regrowth. Some hair may be resistant to the laser treatment or may regrow after treatment.
* Darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation). This is usually a temporary condition, but in rare instances, is long lasting or permanent.
* Lightening of the skin (hypopigmentation). This is of special concern with people who have darker skin. Laser hair treatment is more successful on fair skin, but darker skin also can be treated.
* Blistering and scarring. These rarely occur.
* Changes in the skin texture. These rarely occur.
* Crusting or scabbing. If this occurs, it's temporary.
* Hair changes. New hair growth may be finer and lighter in color."

I only found a few long term effects from laser hair removal. The first one was damage to the eyes if the laser happens to go into the retina causing eye damage leading to blindness. Protective glasses are required of everyone in the room at the time the laser surgery is taking place. The second concern is damage to the skin. It is normal for the skin to have redness and be slightly swollen after hair laser removal, but burning and scarring could happen.
Finally, patients that are being tested for certain disease's or are taking certain medication might be required to stop treatment 6 months prior to laser hair removal.
