Lack of Training Leads to Serious Complications
Laser hair removal is a relatively new technology that involves the application of intense lasers to hair follicles to remove unwanted hair. The lasers pass through the skin to the hair follicle and damages it, which results in permanent hair reduction. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for someone seeking this service to determine whether a laser hair removal technician is competent in the procedure. There are people in Augusta and throughout the CSRA who are practicing laser hair removal with little or no training.
Burn Injuries and Scarring
Lack of training has resulted in serious burn injuries for many women and men. When a laser is turned up too high or the manufacturer's instructions are not carefully followed, the person receiving the treatment can be left with burns and devastating scars. Typically, the burns are in a checkerboard pattern on the person's face or another treated area.
At The Vic Hawk Law Firm, we have handled several of these cases. We understand how emotionally difficult these burn injuries can be. You trusted that the technician was qualified to execute the procedure and never imagined it would end up like this.
Our attorneys will be by your side every step of the way, and we will make sure that the negligent person or company is held responsible for your suffering.
Because laser hair removal is not a complex medical procedure, these cases are not considered to be malpractice. They are simple negligence claims, as negligence usually occurs when a technician simply turns the laser up too high or keeps it in one place too long.
