"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."
