Can laser treat pigmentation on darker skin tones?
Yes - with the right device, settings and preparation. Our clinical lead explains how we keep every skin type safe.
For years, people with deeper skin tones were told laser wasn’t for them. Modern devices have changed that, but technique still matters enormously.
What makes it safe
Longer wavelengths, conservative energy settings and careful cooling reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
How we prepare your skin
We often prescribe a pigment-calming routine for four weeks before laser, and every client has a patch test first.
The result is a plan that’s slower, steadier and far safer - with results that last.
