Can laser hair removal give you cancer?

My daughter wanted to get laser hair removal for her hands and we were also very worried about safety. We did a lot of reading and consulted a proper dermatologist before starting. It is safe because the light only targets the hair follicle and doesn't go deep, so you don't need to worry about cancer.

No, it doesn't cause cancer at all. The lasers used are completely safe and only target hair pigments, not your DNA.

Nahi behan, aisa bilkul nahi hai. Humare yahan bhi log pehle baatein karte the ki laser se bimari hoti hai, par aisa kuch nahi hota. Yeh sirf baalon ki jadd pe kaam karta hai aur skin ko nuksan nahi pahunchata. Aap acche clinic se karwao, sab theek rahega.

Honestly, I have been researching this exact topic on the internet for weeks because I want to get my underarms done. From everything I've read on medical sites, laser light doesn't have UV rays, which are the ones that cause cancer. It seems totally safe, though it's always best to ask the clinic doctor once.

Beta, modern science has made these treatments very safe, so you need not fear big illnesses like cancer from this. But still, the skin gets very sensitive after these sessions, so apply some pure aloe vera gel or cucumber juice ghar pe to soothe the redness. Avoid harsh soaps or going out in the direct sun for a few days.
