How is laser hair removal on african american or dark skin?

Need an expert: Dark skin is very sensitive to the laser and if used incorrectly can alter the skin color permanently burn or scar you. I would recommend a physician trained in this process with experience in persons of color. The lasers for that would be either the diode or YAG.

Seek dermatologist : Laser hair treatments for dark skin including African American skin can be safely performed with certain lasers at the right settings. Seek out a dermatologist who is experienced with treating ethnic and darker skin types. Typically a diode laser and Yag lasers have the correct wavelength for treating darker skin. Avoid ipl or medical spas without doctor supervision.
