Does laser hair removal cause scarring?

Any laser procedure can cause scarring, and this is included as a risk on most consent forms you will sign prior to laser treatment. However, the risk of scarring from laser hair removal is rather small and is a function of many things including:


  • The experience, skill, knowledge and training of the laser operator
  • Your particular ability to heal
  • The amount of melanin pigment in your skin with greater risk for darker skin types
  • Type of laser used
  • The condition of the laser.

Temporary Pigmentary Changes
Many people experience pigmentary changes, either lightening of the skin or darkening of skin, following a laser procedure. Most of time this is not scarring, even though people often believe that it is. Pigmentary changes following laser procedures are usually resolve in a period of weeks to months.

Experienced Operators Diminish Risk
Although the risk of scarring from a laser procedure is quite small, you can minimize your risk by selecting an experienced operator to perform your laser treatment who has years of experience doing laser hair removal with that particular laser.

Here at Bella Pelle Laser we have a staff of very experienced laser operators and we meticulously maintain the lasers. If you are in the metro Denver or Boulder area then we are close by in Broomfiled and just minutes from Westminster, Northglenn, Thornton, Erie, Brighton, and Boulder.
