Laser hair removal uses a safe beam of light to target melanin pigments found within your hair follicle. Once targeted, its energy absorbs into it and destroys or stunts its growth.
Laser hair removal used to be limited to those with lighter skin tones; however, thanks to recent advancements, people with darker skin tones can now also take advantage of laser hair removal technology. Both Precise Touch and Me Chic devices have been clinically verified as safe for dark skin tones thanks to ELOS technology features that include safety for dark skin tones.
How Does Smooth Synergy Work?
At first, laser hair removal was only suitable for patients with skin types 1 and 2, but as technology improved, manufacturers designed machines capable of treating darker skin tones. The key is wavelength light produced by machines: laser devices emit focused wavelengths which penetrate hair’s pigment to be converted to heat energy which damages follicles and stops further hair production.
When selecting a provider to conduct laser hair removal for dark skin, it is vital to work with someone with both experience and skills in handling this procedure. An expert technician should know how to set up their device so as not to cause harm to your skin and can assess whether you qualify as an ideal candidate for treatment.
Smooth Synergy’s equipment is state-of-the-art and tailored specifically to treat all skin tones, including dark. Their Candela Gentle Max Pro system features two lasers in one: an Alexandrite Laser and an Nd: YAG laser that emit longer wavelengths that are safer for darker skin tones.
At the start of a laser treatment session, your technician will apply a protective gel to shield your skin from the heat of the laser beam and focus it onto unwanted hair growth on either your face or legs. As it passes over each follicle of hair follicles, a brief sensation of discomfort should occur, but that should subside quickly without any pain or lasting consequences.
The Nd: YAG laser destroys melanin in hair follicles, effectively stopping them from producing more hair follicles and eventually cease producing hair at all. You should see results immediately following your session; these should continue to improve with successive treatments. After several sessions have been completed, your hair growth should become softer and slower until eventually it no longer grows back at all – smoothing your complexion for good with regular appointments at Smooth Synergy!
