Laser Hair Removal for Dark skin

Of the three lasers, the Alexandrite laser is the most superficial laser at 755NM deep; meaning that the laser hits at the superficial layers of the skin. This is ideal for lighter skin types as well as for fine, thin hairs.

The important thing to understand about it is It is highly absorbed in melanin and is therefore not safe for use on darker skin tones.

The reason is that superficial lasers can pick up the pigment in the skin.

The GentleMax Pro System offers dual-wavelength laser allowing us the choice between the two different lasers: Alexandrite and ND: Yag lasers, so we can safely and effectively treat all skin types and most hair types.

Of the three lasers, the Diode laser is considered the gold standard of lasers. The reason being is that the light penetrates at the depth of the hair bulb at 810NM deep., making it safe to use on most skin types. Though the Diode laser can pick up some of the melanin in the skin, it penetrates deeper than the Alexandrite laser making it safe for olive and tanned skin types. Though the Diode Laser does look for colour, the Soprano Ice Laser System is the best system to use and it is an excellent choice for clients of tanned skin types due to the In-Motion™ SHR mode as it works by gradually heating the dermis to a temperature that effectively damages the hair follicles and prevents re-growth while avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue.

Of the three lasers, the ND: Yag penetrates the deepest at 1064NM. The wavelength of this laser goes deeper into the skin than a Diode, so it more successfully bypasses the pigmentation present in the skin; it’s the safest option for medium, tanned to dark skin. The Yag Laser is the most effective for maximum results for darker skin types. Though the Yag Laser is best suited for darker skin types, it can also be used for all skin types (similar to the Diode)

What makes our ND: Yag laser comfortable is the DCD cooling, where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin at a fraction of a second before each laser pulse, which provides increased comfort and safety during and after treatment.

There is a reason for that. An IPL is not a laser, it’s an acronym for Intense Pulse Light. Though IPL machines have their place in aesthetics, it is not the best option for hair removal. Sadly some clinics will disguise the IPL as a true laser and insist on twenty sessions for maximum results which is a false statement. The spectrum of the IPL is so wide making it unsafe for darker skin tones and tanned skin, plus not a great option for hair removal for any or all skin types.

Now that you know more about all three lasers, you can understand a bit better as to why the lasers are better suited for certain people than others. It’s important to know what machines are being used but also who is operating the machine.

When dealing with Lasers, the machine does matter. t It is important to know what machine is being used on your skin. For safety and efficacy of treatments, having a Laser System that is Health Canada and FDA approved is so important; especially when dealing with darker skin types.

The Award-Winning Soprano ICE Diode Laser Hair Removal system is an all-in-one laser system that can be safely used on any skin type, without the discomfort of more traditional technology. Together with a high repetition rate of short heat pulses that sweep over the hair follicles, combined with the instant cooling application for increased comfort, this system reaches well beyond traditional lasers on the market today. Additionally, this system has revolutionized medical photo epilation, leaving you with more long-lasting, satisfactory results. It also means little to no discomfort for you.

The Award-Winning GentleMaxPro is a dual-wavelength Laser system, an industry leader in laser hair removal, that offers the Alexandrite and ND: Yag technologies for optimal results in Hair Removal as well as a wide range of treatment options. The uniqueness of the GentleMaxPro treatments is that a burst of energy and therapeutic heat is delivered through the layers of the skin to the follicle. In doing this, over a number of treatments, the follicle is destroyed and future hair regrowth is inhibited. To maximize comfort to the client, there is a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) which provides cooling cryogen to the treated area. This allows the laser hair removal treatment to be very comfortable.

It is important to know who is performing your treatments. As is the case with the equipment, finding a clinic that has experienced, knowledgeable and well-trained medical aestheticians is a must. Again, this will reduce the risk of side effects and should make your treatment more comfortable. Don’t forget that your skin is an organ and just as important as the rest. You wouldn’t trust your heart in the hands of someone who is not up-to-date on the latest developments in skin and laser.

It can be easy to recite a monologue to a client, telling them what they want to hear and seal the deal. You should be able to ask questions and have the technician be able to answer them in complete confidence. That is when you know you are either in the right or wrong place.

Laserlicious’s Soprano ICE and GentleMaxPro technologies prioritize all three. So if you’re looking for laser hair removal systems that put both the comfort and satisfaction of clients at the forefront, then this is the laser hair removal treatment for you. The revolutionized and cutting edge technologies makes each treatment quicker, virtually pain – free and easy.
