Laser Hair Removal

Is Laser Hair Removal Effective On Dark Skin Tones?

Yes, laser hair removal is safe and effective for all skin tones—including deeper skin tones—when the right technology and expertise are in place. At LaserAway, we use the Cynosure Apogee Elite, a medical-grade laser system designed with dual wavelengths to safely treat all skin types with precision and minimal risk. Your treatment is always performed by a licensed medical professional—registered nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician associate—trained to personalize settings for your skin tone and hair type.

During your free consultation, our treatment specialists will evaluate your skin and hair, walk you through what to expect, and create a plan tailored to your goals.

Is laser hair removal safe for deeper skin tones?

Yes. We use settings calibrated to avoid overheating or damaging melanin-rich skin.

Does it work as well on darker skin tones?

Absolutely. Results are consistent across skin tones when the correct laser and technique are used. You can expect thinner, finer, and slower-growing hair with each session.

Are there more risks for dark skin tones?

With outdated lasers, yes—but not at LaserAway. We use advanced lasers specifically chosen to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns on darker skin.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see great results after a series of treatments spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. Your treatment plan will be customized to your unique hair and skin.
