Laser Hair Removal for Darker Skin

For a long time, like good sunscreens and foundation colors, dark skin laser hair removal was non-existent. Those of us who were informed for years that laser hair removal wasn’t an option due to our skin tone can now get the therapy they deserve thanks to a rising focus on inclusion and technological advancement. Avante Laser & MediSpa is one of the few clinics that provide FDA cleared Laser Hair Removal using the Nd:YAG wavelength for darker skin tones. We are proud and honored to be able to service everyone, with no exceptions!

If you have any questions about our range of dark skin laser hair removal services, please feel free to call our offices in Houston or The Woodlands, Texas areas, or schedule a consultation online today.

What Is the Difference Between Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin and Fair Skin?

The color of the skin depends on the amount of melanin or pigment in the skin. Since the melanin absorbs the laser in the hair follicles, only long-pulse ND: Yag lasers may get used to dark-skinned hair removal. Dark skin hair removal lasers or Long pulse ND: Yag lasers selectively target the hair follicles’ pigments while protecting the surrounding skin.

Fifteen years ago, Avante used Nd: YAG laser to implement the most advanced laser technology for customers with darker skin. The YAG laser provides a deeper wavelength (1064 nm), which will not be attracted to the skin but will bypass the skin and directly enter the unwanted hair. The process is painless, and the effect is excellent.

For customers with facial or body hair growth, lasers can change their lives. So don’t wait any longer.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Popular hair removal procedures, such as wax and electrolysis, can be very painful. Most people find that laser surgery is much more comfortable. The customer describes the feeling of the laser as if a rubber band clings to the skin. To further improve customer comfort, we use laser systems equipped with the latest cooling equipment. Sub-zero cooling can provide extra comfort and protection during surgery.

Interested in Laser Hair Removal, but Not Sure if It Is Affordable?

On average, dark skin laser hair removal in Houston requires five to seven consecutive sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Fees are calculated by session and area, and remain affordable. Your pre-treatment consultation can be arranged a few days or a week in advance to discuss your goals, walk you through the steps, and answer all your questions. Treatment can start the same day.
