Can laser hair removal cause the patient to get acne?

Q:

My daughter is having laser hair removal and she is getting more acne.  Can the laser hair removal be the cause?

A:

It is doubtful that the laser hair removal is causing your daughter's acne to get worse.  Please consider consulting your Dermatologist regarding the worsening acne.
