Darker skin also contains more melanin, so the surrounding skin needs particular consideration when choosing equipment and treatment settings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBurns, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and lighter patches are potential risks. The wavelength, energy, pulse duration, cooling and your skin’s condition all matter. No treatment is entirely risk-free, but an individual approach is essential to managing those risks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt Remedi, we use solid-state, fibre-delivered 1064 nm Nd:YAG technology. This wavelength is particularly valuable for darker skin because it is less strongly absorbed by pigment at the skin’s surface than shorter wavelengths commonly used for hair removal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour treatment is planned around your actual skin tone and hair characteristics, including any darker pigmentation within the treatment area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExperience beyond the machine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRebecca brings 20 years of industry experience and over 12 years specialising in laser.

Darker skin does not mean you cannot achieve excellent hair reduction, but results depend on the hair being suitable and treatment being appropriately selected.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelping with ingrown hairs and persistent dark marks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor many clients, the problem is not simply unwanted hair.

Reducing suitable hair can help lessen the need for repeated shaving and reduce some of the triggers for new irritation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe also build personalised skincare plans, recommending suitable products, gentle skin-barrier support and sun protection.
