I am thinking of having laser trteatment to remove the hair on my legs and under arms but the salon I've booked in to are worried about negative sude effects i.e. autonomic dysreflexia. Has anyone had it done and if so, did you suffer any side effects?

I had my legs done. I'm a T6,7,8, and didn't get autonomic dysreflexia. I wouldn't worry about it unless you had that before. Maybe see if they can do a small area first to see if you have any side effects. I paid $600 for ankle to crotch and didn't even notice a difference. Takes at least 4 or 5 times. I wax them on my own now.
