FDA Approved Lasers

Due to massive public interest in permanently removing unwanted hair, laser hair removal's popularity has significantly grown over the past decade. This popularity prompted the United States' Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require research on certain lasers and then, when appropriate, approve these lasers for use. Laser manufacturers certainly want their products to be approved by the FDA, and will often seek such clearance.

Find a Clinician Who Uses FDA Approved Lasers

When you seek out a laser hair removal specialist, it's wise to choose one who uses FDA approved lasers. This means that all the lasers he or she uses have been approved by the FDA for hair removal use. FDA approved lasers are those that have been cleared by the FDA to be safe as well as effective at hair removal.

With FDA approved lasers, laser hair removal is a safe process, provided patients follow the pre- and post-treatment instructions given to them. Like most medical procedures, there are some possible side effects that can occur; however, they are not common. All participants should expect their skin to be pinkish and slightly aggravated directly after the treatment, but this irritation should subside within a few hours.

In rare instances, people may experience more significant side effects, even when FDA approved lasers are used. These side effects can include blistering, skin discoloration or swelling.
