Is Getting Laser Hair Removal In Armpits Safe?
Hello, I am thinking about having laser hair removal done in my armpits, and I worry about the long term affect it might have. I know the lasers don t use ionizing radiation however, I m wondering if the procedure could cause inflammation or a possible infection that could trigger something such as breast cancer later on. Is this something to worry about? Thank you
