Sign the Petition

Laser Hair Removal (LHR) is restricted in most states to only being administered by medically licensed professionals like nurses and doctors. These professionals are held legally and ethically obligated to tell their patients the truth and yet, they are getting away with not upholding the promises and oaths to which they swore. 

They are telling people that LHR is permanent when it’s not, and they are omitting the truth about the risk of increased hair growth on tanned, white shin, as well as olive, brown and black skin. What’s worse, is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are letting them get away with it.

Stand up and demand the truth! Sign the petition today and then get your friends and family to sign it too.

You can also file your own claim with the Food & Drug Administration », the Federal Trade Commission », and the Better Business Bureau ».

How Submissions Will Be Used

We will use all submissions to support our claims when we lobby the FDA & FTC to:

1. Better police the LHR industry so they no longer make false claims about LHR as a permanent method of hair removal when consulting in-person, on the phone, or live chat, across their digital platforms, or in their marketing materials

2. Enforce strict penalties upon those who violate this rule

3. Force LHR industry experts and scientists to do more focused research on paradoxical hypertrichosis, more specifically:

  • the impacts on those with darker skin types {Types III, IV, V & VI}

  • the impacts on those with underlying hormonal disorders

  • identify if there is a direct correlation between hair induction and laser types, settings, and number of treatments, as well as patient gender, ethnicity, and age

Protest is when I say this does not please me. Resistance is when I ensure what does not please me occurs no more.
