    The Risks of Mismatched Laser Treatments for Your Skin Type

    Potential Complications from Wrong Laser Use

    When a laser with an inappropriate wavelength, pulse duration, or energy setting is used for a particular skin type, it can cause unintended damage.

    • Burns and scarring from excessive energy absorption in darker skin tones
    • Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation — dark or light spots that may be permanent
    • Ineffective treatment when energy is too low for the target
    • Increased risk of redness, swelling, blistering, and infection
