• Long sessions: Laser hair removal is a time-consuming process. It usually takes two to eight sessions to completely lock the hair follicle. The worst part is to wait for 6-8 weeks between each session.
• Burns and scars: Untrained technicians or poor equipment could lead to extreme results like scars or burns quite visible on the skin.
• Difficult for dark-skinned people: Laser hair removal does not go very well for dark-skinned people. The reason being, the pigment of dark-skinned people makes it difficult for the laser to identify and kill the hair follicle.
• Costly procedure: The cost for laser especially Brazilian hair removal is far too high as compared to other hair removal methods.
