Laser Hair Removal Claims
If you have been injured while receiving a laser hair removal or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) beauty treatment, we can help you make a No Win No Fee claim for compensation.
Laser hair removal continues to grow in popularity as a preferred hair removal technique amongst both women and men in the UK.
This may be because the results achieved by laser or IPL treatments last much longer. For you, there’s a lot less hassle involved and the possibility of saving money in the long run. We often help people who have had treatments in the bikini area, legs and face – all of which can be distressing injuries.
However, with laser hair removal treatments becoming more and more accessible due to popularity, it’s important that thorough research and caution are taken before you undergo any treatment.
These treatments are cosmetic procedures and medical consultation should take place beforehand.
Sadly this area of beauty treatment is not really regulated and as a result many beauticians practice laser treatments without proper training. Even if they have been trained many do not fully follow the equipment providers manufacturer’s instructions and this can lead to injuries which can have a significant impact on you and your life.
Laser Hair Removal – What Can Go Wrong?
Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments can be very rigorous procedures involving laser beams which heat up areas being treated. If done incorrectly, they can cause unpleasant and lasting injuries. This is why research and caution are vital first steps.
Injuries that can occur as a result of a negligent laser hair removal treatment include:
- Scarring
- Burns and blistering
- Hyper and hypopigmentation (darkening or lightening of the skin)
- Infection
- Skin could take on an uneven appearance
Laser hair removal injuries can be very distressing and we understand that this can be a difficult time for you.
We will make sure that your claim is dealt with in a sensitive manner by our specialist all female team.
Can You Claim Compensation For a Laser Hair Removal Injury?
If you’ve suffered any of the above injuries from a laser hair removal or IPL treatment, you may be able to make a No Win No Fee claim for compensation. We advise that the following steps are taken following an injury:
- Consult a doctor This step is very important in ensuring your laser hair removal injuries are treated in the best way possible to reduce the severity of them and any lasting damage. You should avoid exposure to the sun of the injury area until you have taken advice from your doctor.
- Report the incident to the beautician and/or clinic that carried out your treatment It’s important that the beauty clinic is aware of the injury as they should investigate what went wrong to ensure no one else gets hurt. When you report the injury, the beauty salon may offer you a voucher, gift card, discount or refund to compensate. We advise you not to accept these types of offers as they’re not always appropriate considering the severity of your injury. Accepting may also impact your ability to legally claim compensation or the amount you could be awarded.
