Most commonly experienced side effects of laser treatment are burning of the dermal layer. If the laser parameters are not set correctly, the person going through the treatment might face burning of the skin. This happens because if the laser is set too high, it will penetrate into the skin’s melanin. Prolonged exposure of this kind will result in burning of the skin. Hypo and hyper pigmentation are the most frequently occurring laser treatment side effects where there is depletion of melanin and in hyper pigmentation, the melanin is in excess. This occurs mainly because of exposure to sun after or before the treatment.
