Warning over laser hair removal
LASER hair removal can pose health risks for people who then go sunbathing, the consumer group Which? warns today.
It says 3,000 unlicensed and unregulated UK outlets offered the treatments, but laser hair removal could cause burning, scarring or blisters to skin that was exposed to the sun soon afterwards. It could also cause problems if carried out on skin that was already tanned.
Which? says those having laser hair removal treatment should make sure the clinic is licensed and the practitioner properly qualified.
