What should be done if a client has a history of keloid formation?

If a client has a history of keloid formation, a cautious evaluation is essential because individuals prone to keloids may react adversely to laser hair removal treatments. Keloids are raised scars that can occur when the skin heals after an injury, and they can result from even minor trauma, including that which might be caused by laser procedures.

Therefore, it's important to assess the overall risks and benefits of treatment for these clients. If the potential for developing keloids or other complications seems to outweigh the expected benefits of laser hair removal, it may be advisable to consider postponing or avoiding the procedure altogether. This approach helps to protect the client's health and ensures that they receive the safest and most appropriate care possible.
