Laser hair removal (LHR) has become a popular modality for the removal of unwanted hair; it is typically performed or supervised by laser-trained dermatologists, and it is the most requested cosmetic procedure in the world [
1]. LHR is not a standardized procedure, as the parameters are individualized, so it requires accurate laser selection, optimal pulse duration, and appropriate fluence to achieve highest efficacy and safety [
2]. Therefore, background knowledge regarding the practical application of laser-tissue interactions and the principles of selective photothermolysis are vital for safe LHR practice [
3]. In general, LHR is a safe modality, and common side effects include temporary pain, transient erythema, and perifollicular edema; these adverse events depend on variable factors such as skin type, treatment site, laser system, parameter set, and operator knowledge [
4]. Unfortunately, untrained or unsupervised non-physician providers can practice LHR, increasing the risk of avoidable complications [
5]. Here we present the second case report in the literature that highlights the self-limited nature of LHR-induced purpura, and we describe how similar cases should be handled.
