Radiation therapy means energy that doesn’t break DNA bonds. Cancer is not an issue, period.
Laser hair removal is usually not permanent, as any ethical practitioner will tell you. You may well grow hair down the line, which may reach the point where you’ll want to touch it up from time to time. Still, most patients are quite happy with the results.
Take care.

If I started only from the description I could swear that my grand father suffers this skin condition, on the other hand, he doesn’t spend any time under sun exposure at all. Very interesting video, there is more information on skin cancer for physicians interested at Symposier site.

To me it almost looks like black people are, in general, healthier. I wonder how accurate that is tho
white people are more prone to getting skin cancer is because there skin contains less melanin,than dark skin people.

Here is another good article on it.
http://www.cladehlt.org/laser-hair-removal-side-effects/
No scientific documented evidence exists that laser hair removal causes skin cancer . . its no more riskier than a light bulb.
Laser Hair removal can not cause skin cancer because its non-ionizing radiation does not carry enough energy per photon to ionize atoms or molecules to cause cell mutation.
Nonetheless, the UV light can interact with photosensitive medications resulting in phototoxic and/or photoallergic symptoms. Such drugs are:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen
- Oral contraceptives
- Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic)
- Plus more ..
