Recently in Coral Gables Florida a women underwent laser hair removal and experienced painful burns in the underarm area. She recently filed suit against the doctor. As it turns out, the doctor that she went to wasn't even licensed for laser hair removal.
These types of situations tell you that it is very important to check out all the details of each clinic before you agree or sign anything. Yes, you should be reading all the fine print in those contracts, looking up the clinic with the Better Business Bureau, verifying that the doctor or clinic has the appropriate license for the state, and also the appropriate medical license for performing laser hair removal.
It is best to schedule a consultation with several different clinics in your area and compare all of them after you have all the details. Come prepared to the consultation with a list of questions and be sure to ask them all.
Serious injury, even permanent injury can occur if laser hair removal is not done correctly. Don't make the mistake that the women in Florida made, CHECK THEM OUT first.

Updates on Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Laser Hair Removal Update
By S Brooks
Hair removal is getting popular these days, especially with young women in their mid 20s. This is probably because of the images on TV and in magazines of young actresses with smooth, clean skin, free of hair on the face and legs, and even sometimes the bikini line. With all the commercial products that promise permanent hair removal, it is quite difficult to discern which ones really do the job. Most people going for hair removal have however chosen hair laser as the most effective way of permanently removing hair.
There are many ways to remove hair, but only so called "epilating" (removal of hair from the root) can make hair disappear longer than other means. Epilating can be done in many ways such as tweezing, threading, hot wax, using enzymes or turmeric to inhibit the renewal of hair cells, electrolysis and laser hair removal. Some of these methods like waxing and threading can be quite painful while others, such as using oral medications which inhibit hair growth, electrolysis and laser hair removal are not really painful, but more expensive than the other methods.
There are also other means of removing unwanted hair, which fall under "depilation" or the removal of the hair on the skin level. Shaving is the most common depilation method as well as the use of depilatories (creams which can dissolve hair), but all these methods are only temporary and hair grows back several days after.
The permanent procedures of removing hair are, of course, far more costly than ordinary depilation methods. Most people who prefer permanent hair loss would rather go for laser hair removal, which is not only painless but also provides longer results. There are also less or no side effects for individuals who opt to do laser hair removal.
When choosing the right hair removal centre, make sure that you ask your surgeon the following questions, in order to find out more about the procedure:
1. Cost
This is the number one question you should ask - how many treatments would you have to take and how much each treatment would cost. The total cost of the procedure may seem very expensive at first glance, but may be more economical in the long run if you consider your savings from no longer buying creams and other hair removers, plus regular waxing treatments. You should also ask how many treatments you have to undergo before permanent removal of hair is achieved.
2. Side Effects
Although most laser hair removal is painless, you should also find out if risks such as burning of the skin, skin rash and scars will occur after the treatments. It will be better to go to a reputable, maybe more expensive surgeon who performs the procedure successfully, rather than go to an inexpensive, inexperienced surgeon, who may not know what he is doing. It will be worth it not to worry about complications after the procedure.
3. Recovery
Ask if you should expect pain or skin irritation after the procedure and find out what to do in case these things happen. Usually, a special moisturizing cream is prescribed in case of pain or irritation.
Try to find out more about the laser hair removal procedure before deciding to go for one. If you do decide to undergo the treatment, choose a surgeon who is highly recommended to avoid risks.

Laser Hair Removal and Pain
Laser hair removal is a very popular service today. Many women are paying thousands of dollars to get the procedure done. The thought of never having to shave again is the major incentive.
But the real question is, does it hurt. Well yes and no. There is some mild pain associated with the procedure. If you are highly sensitive to pain, then you will probably need to take something before you get it done. There may be some mild side effects like swelling, redness, etc. that lasts for several days after the procedure.
Some women experience just a little bit of mild pain when getting the procedure done. Be sure to ask your doctor about what would be best to take if you are concerned about the pain.
