During any Laser Hair Removal procedure, the laser light travels through the skin to eradicate unwanted hairs. Skin of darker color has a greater amount of melanin, which may increase the risk of developing side effects from laser therapy. Laser hair removal should only be performed by experienced technicians and special laser equipment for dark skin. Our long pulse Diode and pulse Nd:YAG lasers have been found to be ideal for dark pigmented skin.
