The number of patients injured while having laser hair removal performed has increased dramatically as the number of unqualified offices has proliferated. As a result, professional medical societies such as the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, one of the largest and most respected associations of dermatology experts in the world, has created a patient safety campaign to help educate the public about the need to see a medical doctor for laser hair removal.
