No one knows if it is truly safe to have laser on the neck because this probably hasn’t been studied yet, scientifically, using large samples of people. Remember,we’re talking hair removal here. I don’t think a lot of doctors care about investigating the effects of laser hair removal on the neck and the thyrod gland. We can only presume it is okay at this point in time. I have not seen any data supporting the statement made by the nurse. If he or she can produce evidence to back up that advise,it would help you with your decision.
My instinctive, conservative bias would probably make me gun shy on performing laser in that area. You can do some researching yourself. Start with www.pubmed.com and ask other professionals. It would be interesting to hear what an endocrinologist has to say about the thyroid and laser hair removal. Please share what you learn with hairtell.
