Luxe Look Offers Safe and Effective Laser Hair Removal for all Skin Tones.
.
It’s a pretty common misconception that laser hair removal won’t work for people with darker skin tones. While this might have been true when the FDA first approved laser hair removal back in the late 90s, technology has advanced over the years making it safe for even the darkest of skin tones.
PLEASE NOTE: it’s important to mention that some places that advertise laser hair removal services are really using IPL or Intense Pulsed Light technology—the same outdated technology found in most at-home devices. This is not a real laser and should NEVER be used on darker skin tones! IPL targets brown and red pigments in the skin and is amazing for light skin clients with pigmentation problems. Not only does it offer inferior results when used for hair removal, but for people with dark skin tones it may lead to burns and complications.
Our laser provides the safest treatments for darker skin tones. It uses two lasers — one for fair skin (Alexandrite) and one that’s for darker skin (Nd: Yag). The Nd: Yag technology has a weaker melanin absorption rate, and longer wavelengths which make it safe to use on dark skin tones.
