What might excessive application of laser light during hair removal procedures lead to?

Excessive application of laser light during hair removal procedures can lead to purpura, which is a condition characterized by small purple or red spots on the skin due to bleeding under the skin. This can occur when the laser is applied too aggressively or for too long, causing damage to blood vessels. This damage can result in leakage of blood into the surrounding tissues, creating the characteristic discoloration.

A careful and accurate application of the laser is essential to avoid overheating the skin and surrounding tissues. Proper training and technique can help minimize this risk, ensuring effective hair removal without adverse effects like purpura. Maintaining the right energy settings and duration during the procedure is crucial for both safety and effectiveness.
