Question from Amy
Dear Debra,
I would like to get your advice about using a laser treatment for a skin lesion on my face. The laser treatment would be at a dermatologists office.
I have some hereditary lesions on my skin that are quite small but noticeable and I would like to have the ones on my face removed.
I was told the most effective treatment was to zap it with a laser, but that it might require actual insertion of a needle and laser to get underneath the skin.
What do you think about the safety of this?
Also, would this be any different than, say, hair removal via laser, which perhaps is more readily researched? Are there any safety concerns with laser treatments of the skin.
Debra’s Answer
I haven’t researched this at all, and have not heard of any dangers just in the normal course of reading.
Readers, any experience with laser treatments or knowledge of possible dangers?
