DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL CAUSE INFERTILITY?
In recent years, the practice of laser hair removal, which is very popular with both women and men, has brought with it some concerns; does laser hair removal cause infertility or cause cancer? Turkey iHealth member and hospital clinic Turkish Dermatologist Prof. Dr. made the following statements about laser hair removal:
A, member of the board of directors of the Turkish Dermatological Association, Dermatologist Prof. Dr. who provides information about the health effects of laser hair removal, Prof. Dr. “The laser is not a light that will harm the body, but it must be applied under the supervision of a physician,” was said.

WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL IN TURKEY
For the best laser hair removal, which has started to be used very often today, has now become an almost indispensable requirement for women. But there is still incorrect information that we often hear about it, which has no scientific basis at all. The laser is not X-light or ultraviolet light. It is not a light that will harm the body. They act only on the hairs. The effect passes after the end of treatment.
Does laser hair removal cause infertility ?
Laser hair removal certainly does not lead to infertility. A laser is a device that delivers effective thermal energy only to the hair follicle, which is not harmful to a person, applied at a depth of 0.5-1 millimeter to destroy hair on the skin. Since the laser applied to the genital areas destroys the hair with a superficial effect, it does not affect the ovaries that are too far from that area and does not lead to infertility.
Do the hairs reappear after laser hair removal in time ?
Laser hair removal, applied in appropriate doses and duration’s, gives a lasting result, and the hairs do not come out once again. In general, laser application destroys more than 80% of the hairs when 8 sessions are performed with a frequency of 1-1.5 months over a one-year period, which is considered a success in treatment.
Does underarm laser application affect the lymph nodes ?
The lymph nodes under the armpit are located on average at a depth of 2-3 cm. It is impossible for laser lights to reach here. For this reason, underarm laser therapy does not have an effect on the lymph nodes. In no way does it cause lymph node diseases.
Do we get skin cancer when laser light comes to me?
Moles on the skin are not affected by laser lights. Laser lights are not ultraviolet rays that can cause cancer in moles. Ultraviolet light from the sun can lead to dangerous transformations in some moles. For this reason, even if laser light has come to the moles, it certainly does not lead to the transformation of moles into skin cancer. There is only a darkening in their color for 10 days, and this color increase also passes in a short time.
Is laser hair removal of the facial area dangerous ?
The facial area is a region that is more open to the action of hormones, unlike other body areas. In addition, there are many hairs (quince hairs) in the face area. For this reason, the number of sessions becomes more compared to areas such as armpits, legs. There is no danger of applying hair removal to the face area. However, the type of laser to be selected and the number of applications should be determined before the laser session.
Does it increase the capillaries on the legs ?
Laser lights applied to the leg area do not increase the capillaries. Capillaries on the legs are more often with prolonged standing. The laser light delivered by the laser does not affect the capillaries. Therefore, it does not cause the formation of new capillaries.
Are Laser and IPL (Intense Light pulse) the same devices ?
While the medical devices used for laser hair removal are devices that shoot at different depths under different names, the IPL device that shoots intense light is not a laser. The effectiveness of IPL devices is poor compared to laser devices and can cause hair to re-emerge.
Does the laser affect the milk ducts and cause danger ?
Laser applications for unwanted hair on the nipple do not affect the milk ducts further inside the breasts. The milk ducts are deeper, and the laser lights remain on the surface. For this reason, laser hair removal methods do not affect the milk ducts.
Will chemotherapy treatments that he may see in the future be ineffective in people receiving laser therapy?
Laser treatments cause only 1-2 millimeter deep hairs to be destroyed by heat energy at the time they are performed. Their effect lasts for the entire period during which the hairs are treated. There is no ongoing effect on our body. Because the effect will not continue after the treatment is over, it is certainly not an obstacle to chemotherapy treatments that will be taken in the future.

Turkish Dermatologist Prof. Dr., “Laser hair removal is an application that must be performed under the supervision of a physician. Do not endanger your health. Make sure that the places where you will have the Laser Hair Removal are licensed centers from the Ministry of Health in Turkey.”
