Laser Injuries in Los Angeles Salons

In Los Angeles salons, lasers are frequently used for laser hair removal.  When employees at these salons negligently operate these hair removal machines, where they fail to adjust them according to the skin tone and skin reaction of the laser - second degree and third degree burns from the laser can result.  Over the last few years, the laser hair removal treatment machines have become both more compact and more intense resulting in a stronger and more powerful laser.

Our Los Angeles personal injury lawyers diligently represent clients who have been seriously injured because of the negligence of these laser hair removal employees where they cause injuries which may result in scarring or disfigurement.  As laser hair removal machines are becoming a more common option than waxing, the number of injuries sustained has been steadily increasing.  As of 2005, there were over 1 million laser hair removal procedures performed in the United States.  This number is believed to steadily increase as laser hair removal at medical-spas ("medspa") becomes more popular and cheaper.

Laser Hair Removal Dangers
The lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) used by the laser hair removal treatment centers can cause serious burns, skin discoloration, disfigurement and scarring.  These dangers are also more likely to occur because these laser hair removal machines are performed by licensed technicians or cosmetologists rather than doctors or physicians who can better evaluate the effects and potential injuries of prolonged laser hair removal use.   Our laser hair removal injury lawyers will gladly discuss additional injuries which result from this laser treatment.

Additionally, doctors have noticed that there has been an increase in instances of burns resulting from the improper use of lasers as well as scarring from chemical peels and hyperpigmentation including increased instances of skin cancer which has been overlooked during these laser treatment procedures.
