Laser Hair Removal for Women With Dark Skin Tones in Houston, TX
Women with dark skin tones can get a laser hair removal treatment, but choosing the right cosmetic professional is crucial to avoid unwanted side effects and achieve the best results. A qualified professional must use the right laser equipment and apply proper techniques and laser settings to reduce complications, including hyperpigmentation and burns. Our laser equipment at Laser & Glow suits all skin types, including darker skin tones.

We Use the Best Laser on the Market
At Laser & Glow, we use the Candela Gentlemax Pro, an advanced laser device that treats all skin types and delivers successful treatments. Our laser equipment has a long wavelength and can deeply penetrate the skin, making it suitable for darker skin. It also effectively targets the follicles without affecting the skin and uses cooling technology to reduce skin discomfort. The GentleMax Pro is ideal for all skin types, including Type VI, the darkest skin tone. Contact us today if you want to learn more about our laser equipment and how it effectively removes unwanted hair without side effects.
Compared to other methods, laser hair removal is quick and less painful. The laser equipment can remove even the finest hair from any body part, including the upper lip or eyebrows. It also penetrates deeper into the skin and targets the roots, reducing the chances of ingrown hairs developing, which can be painful. Laser hair removal lasts longer (possibly years in some people), and hair that eventually grows back is less noticeable.
To get a personalized treatment plan, consult a trained professional for your laser hair removal. Choose someone who knows how to apply the right wavelength for your skin tone. A 755-nanometer wavelength is used only for those with a fair-skinned, moderate skin type or fair-skinned people with freckles, while the 1064-nanometer wavelength is for those with light or dark brown skin. Our team at Laser & Glow has years of experience performing laser hair removal treatments. We know the proper techniques to avoid side effects and achieve the best results.
Common side effects include slight discomfort, redness, and swelling lasting 1-3 days. Follow the before-and-after instructions to reduce possible side effects, such as skin darkening or lightening.
Depending on the patient's treatment area, we may apply a topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort during the procedure, which can take a few minutes to an hour. Numbing gel is recommended for sensitive areas, such as the underarms or bikini line. Before the skilled professional performs the procedure, you're asked to wear protective glasses to avoid damage to your eyes from the laser light. During laser treatment, you may experience a mild tingling sensation, but anti-inflammatory creams can help alleviate any discomfort.
The results vary, but most patients report seeing results right after treatment. The area being treated, the type of laser, and skin color can affect the results. To maximize the results of your treatment, follow the recommended number of treatments.
Hair can grow back within months or even years and is less noticeable when it does regrow.
