Most of us have heard laser therapy and just how good it is for all skin types. While this is true, what you may not realize is not all lasers are the same.

To ensure you get the safest results, seek best laser treatments for Black skin types.

Why Does the Type of Laser Matter?

Traditionally, lasers work with beams of light that are attracted to melanin. Original lasers were unable to distinguish between the melanin in the skin and hair follicle.

What this meant was lasers worked great for those with fair skin and dark hair, but those with Black skin risked severe skin damage.

How Have Lasers Changed?

The  Nd: YAG technology is a long-pulsed laser with a weaker pigmentation absorption rate. This laser specifically targets the hair follicle, bypassing the skin.

These types of lasers have proven to be the best laser treatments for Black skin types for hair removal.

Another type of technology called radiofrequency is often used for cosmetic services like skin rejuvenation.

Fractional bi-polar RF energy combined with microneedling are excellent for improving skin texture, tone, and smoothness.

How Will I Know Which Laser Will Work Best for My Skin Tone?

Consult with a skilled and trained provider for an evaluation. Be sure to check that your provider has substantial experience working with Black skin.
