Posted: lazer hair removal
Health officials in Abu Dhabi have shut down a number of beauty salons for operating unregistered laser equipment. The reason for this is that the salons have operated the cosmetic equipment without a supervising doctor or trained- and certified technician.
We’ve said it a number of times on this site: Laser hair removal treatment is a cosmetic procedure and should be done by a qualified person. This goes for both IPL treatment and regular laser treatment. And consult your own doctor for advice.
Things your physician needs to check whether you are suitable for treatment:
- Ruggedness of your skin: Can it handle laser treatment?
- Are you on medications: Some medications makes the skin too sensitive for treatment.
- Do you have the right skin color and hair color combination: It doesn’t work with light hairs, and some treatments doesn’t work on dark skin.
- Conditions specific to you: Knowing your health history, the doctor might know some contra indications that you are not even aware of.
Darn, let me just double check the home laser hair removal kit recommendations I’ve made. Phew, I did reiterate that you should consult your doctor before doing it (edited in 
).
So check with your own doctor before going for laser treatment. Also check that the clinic you are going to have the proper licenses and experienced and qualified staff to do it.
