Abstract: Laser hair removal has grown to be one of the popular aesthetic treatments as it is considered safe and more efficient in hair reduction compared to other methods such as plucking, shaving and waxing which are required to be done on a regular basis. Besides that, these procedures may cause unwanted effects such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Nonetheless, patients with Fitpatrickz scale V and VI have a higher risk of hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, scarring and keloid formation following hair removal treatment which required further adjusting of parameters.
