Salon Related Injuries

Laser hair removal has become increasingly popular, but when performed improperly, it can result in serious and permanent injuries. Common injuries include burns, blistering, scarring, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, nerve damage, and skin discoloration. These injuries may occur when technicians use incorrect laser settings, fail to properly assess a client's skin type, neglect safety protocols, or operate equipment without adequate training. Because laser treatments involve powerful technology, providers must exercise a high degree of care to ensure client safety. When a laser hair removal procedure causes preventable injury, the responsible salon, med spa, technician, or provider may be liable for the harm caused.
