Laser works most effectively on darker hair. We do not recommend laser for individuals with red (strawberry blondes), very blonde, very grey or white hair because they do not have enough melanin pigment in their hair.

Yes laser is safe for darker skin. No matter how dark the skin, our YAG laser is considered the gold standard for treating unwanted hair on darker skin types. Its longer wavelength safely ignores the skin and targets the melanin in the hair shaft, destroying the unwanted hair follicle. You will see amazing results.

You can laser safely at any age however, young children are still growing and they will develop new hair as they grow, and will require touch-ups to maintain the results. We currently do not laser children under the age of 13. Older individuals that have white or gray hair will not respond to laser.

The Alexandrite laser is considered by many in the field of laser hair removal to be the gold standard laser. This is true if you have a lighter skin type. The Alexandrite laser uses a longer wavelength for penetration to the hair follicle and energy that is particularly attracted to melanin - the target for hair removal. However, if your skin is dark you will have the best results with a laser specifically designed for your skin type - the YAG laser. We use both of these lasers for laser hair removal.

Fact: Hair removal creams contain powerful ingredients that weaken the hair just below the skin’s surface, so when the cream is wiped off, the hair comes off where it was weakened. It doesn’t dissolve the root of the hair, and the hair will eventually grow back. Also, cream removal ingredients can cause skin irritation, especially on the delicate facial area. The benefit of laser hair removal is that it offers permanent hair reduction, when compared to other forms of hair reduction it is safe for many skin types and can be used to treat large areas fast and effectively!

Fact: A woman’s genes and hormones—not necessarily her hair removal method—usually determine her hair re-growth. After shaving, facial hair may appear more blunt, which can give a perception that it is darker and thicker, as opposed to the appearance of a tapered end. There is no evidence that common hair removal methods cause hair to appear darker or thicker as it re-grows.
