Any time a new treatment becomes widespread, it’s reasonable to wonder what sort of harmful side effects might become apparent over time. And when that treatment involves radiating the skin, the first harmful side effects that come to mind is the big one – cancer. Fortunately, it’s also a question with a pretty clear-cut answer. No, laser hair removal does not cause cancer. We know this not only because there have been no confirmed cases since the treatment became widely available in the mid-90s, but because the science suggests it isn’t possible to cause cancer by laser hair removal.

But I know few Who Says They Got Cancer From Laser Hair Removal

There are a lot of different reasons people get cancer, and many of them are beyond anyone’s control. Sometimes when people get sick, they look for something concrete to blame. Pointing at a relatively new treatment is a natural reaction, especially when you hear about so many products and medications that turn out to have nasty side effects. But in the case of laser hair technology, the workings of the procedure are pretty well known to science. There haven’t been any confirmed cases of cancer caused by laser hair removal, and based on everything we know about non-ionizing radiation, there’s no reason to think it will cause cancer.
