Laser treatment burns occur when a practitioner fails to apply the correct settings, uses unregulated equipment, or neglects proper safety measures, leading to excessive heat exposure and skin damage.

These burns can range from mild redness to severe second-degree burns, often resulting in permanent scarring, pigmentation issues, or nerve damage.

Common Causes of Laser Treatment Burns:

✔ Incorrect laser settings, causing excessive heat on the skin.
✔ Inexperienced or unqualified practitioners failing to follow safety protocols.
✔ Inadequate skin assessments, leading to inappropriate treatment for certain skin types.
✔ Failure to conduct a patch test, increasing the risk of allergic reactions or burns.
✔ Use of faulty or unregulated equipment, producing unsafe energy levels.
✔ Poor aftercare instructions, worsening the severity of burns or scarring.

Consequences of Laser Treatment Burns

Burns from laser treatments can cause long-term physical and psychological effects, including:

✔ Severe pain and blistering, requiring medical treatment.
✔ Permanent scarring or skin discolouration, affecting confidence.
✔ Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, causing uneven skin tone.
✔ Infections or delayed wound healing, leading to additional complications.
✔ Psychological distress, including anxiety or self-esteem issues.
