If you want to remove hair from different parts of your body, it’s probably a good idea to have it done by a professional, don’t you think?
Well, you might think so, but many people actually buy kits and do things like this at home to save money.
But a skin care specialist wants to explain to people that the DIY method of laser hair removal is not a particularly good idea.
She showed viewers photos of cases where home hair removal did not go as planned and said, “This can happen to your legs or other parts of your body if you decide to purchase a laser hair removal device for home use.”
She continued, “I see them all over TikTok, all over Instagram. Everyone’s saying how amazing they are and how they don’t have any hair anymore, but they don’t understand the wavelengths and the actual settings and the science and everything behind the actual laser itself.”
The woman continued, “You can get third-degree burns…that don’t go away on their own, and you have to have chemical peels, microneedling and a lot of other complex aesthetic procedures just to get rid of some of the scarring.”
She ended her video by saying, “My advice would be to go to a licensed professional who knows what they’re talking about and is familiar with the laser, the settings, the wavelength, and all that.”

@britain.skincare Why it’s so important to go to a licensed professional! I’m a medically trained esthetician and the stories I’ve heard from other estheticians are crazy! #skincare #fyp #lhr

Another spectator intervened.
And this person had a bad experience…
That doesn’t sound pleasant…
AT ALL.
