Medical experts are providing clarifications regarding aesthetic and dermatological procedures. Specialists have highlighted the necessity of proper skin preparation for laser hair removal, specifically advising patients to avoid sun exposure for 15 days prior to sessions to prevent burns and pigmentation changes.

Regarding cellulite, experts note that while lymphatic drainage can reduce edema and provide temporary visual improvements, it does not permanently eliminate the condition. They explain that cellulite is caused by fibrous septa pulling skin tissue downward, requiring treatments that stimulate collagen and break these structures. The laser hair removal market is currently experiencing significant growth, with projections suggesting it may reach US$ 3.1 billion by 2033.
