Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin with YAG Laser
Laser hair removal for dark skin is very tricky. You really have to have the right laser for the darker skin types. Dark skin does however respond to laser treatment very effectively. http://AMAskincare.com The results are incredible.
To do laser hair removal is very simple but you still want to have experienced practitioners doing the treatment. On lighter skin you can use lasers like diode and Alexandrite lasers that are very effective for laser hair removal. You also want to have good clinical judgement so that you donโt cause temporary hyper-pigmentation or temporary pigmentation on the skin.
There is always concern with darker skin patients in regards to hyper-pigmentation but if you are using the right lasers, such as the YAG laser, then you donโt have to worry about it. You can get good results. Because you are using the right laser hair removal equipment for the right skin type. Thatโs the important thing. YAG laser is the perfect laser for dark skin hair removal because it is color blind. The results of laser hair removal with the YAG laser are excellent. It doesnโt see the skin tone. You can be light skin or dark skin and the YAG laser doesnโt care. It only sees the root of the hair. The hair follicle. So that is where the heat is concentrated to destroy the hair follicle. So that the hair doesnโt grow back. It doesnโt care what color skin you have on the surface. Because it goes deep into the dermal layer it can destroy the hair follicle in that layer of the skin. So there is less chance of causing any pigmentation. The YAG laser is the best laser for skin type 3, 4 and 5. Those darker skin types are the very tricky ones to deal with.
You just need to be sure that patient has good numbing because it does hurt a little bit more treating darker skin than treating lighter skin patients. Right now we are doing lidocaine. It helps with numbing before we go in for the laser hair removal.
The amazing part about laser hair removal with the YAG laser is that especially on areas like underarms, bikini, legs usually about five laser treatments, maybe 7 if you are hairy, to get rid of 95% percent of your hair permanently. Occasionally your body will generate a few new hairs here and there so once a year you may have to come in for a maintenance hair removal treatment.
People say Wow itโs a luxury to get laser hair removal. To me, as a women, I think itโs a necessity. Every morning to not have to shave my underarms, bikini, my legs, it saves me so much time in the shower so I love it that I donโt have to shave. Itโs been 17 years since the last time Iโve shaved anywhere.
A lot of people actually have problems with ingrown hairs and need to have them removed. Hair follicle folliculitis we call them. Or who have curly hair ingrowing into their skin causing acne like lesions that are very painful. Ingrown hair removal is very common. Patients will often have razor burn issues causing their skin to have bad rashes from the razors. So, laser hair removal or ingrown hair removal definitely is not a luxury but a necessity. Laser hair removal on darker skin patients or patients with curly hair, itโs a life changing experience for them to have those ingrown hairs removed and not to have to deal with acne or folliculitis and scarring that is left from the growth of the ingrown hairs.
If your hair is hormonally stimulated especially on the lip or chin area on women. Those areas sometimes take many more maintenance laser hair removal treatments because even after all 5 to 7 treatments with the laser you will still have hair coming in. Facial hair is probably the toughest hair to treat. The hair tends to grow back due to internal hormonal changes.
Her laser hair removal technique was absolutely amazing. I love the YAG laser. She would do the cold run. Know when to go, start, stop. Honestly she was really sensitive to my needs and the sensitivity of my own skin so Iโm really happy.

May I ask if there is a list of dermatologists in the U.S. that use the YAG laser? Thank you for the informative video! Glad I saw this before getting any hair removal sessions.
Should a test patch be done first before a full treatment.?
Trust it to be harder for the black people๐fs. And even though thereโs a machine better for our skin colour, numbing cream still has to be applied cause itโs more painful like argh๐!
If this target protein is there a way to heighten the way the hair absorbs radiation so it wouldn't matter hair color skin color since it only attack proteins
