Laser Hair Removal For Darker Skin Featured Article

Earlier lasers were suitable mostly for people with light skin tone and dark hair color. But technological advancements in laser manufacturing has enabled even candidates with darker skin color to avail permanent hair reduction through lasers. Concept of lasers depends on light beams being absorbed by dark hair follicles and result in enough heat emission to damage hair shafts permanently. Typically candidates with blonde or light skin only were considered safe to avail this treatment but latest equipments emit larger wavelengths that are further secure for dark skin and damage only targeted follicles.

Studies have proved that when same amount of laser energy is spread over longer time interval there are greater chances of safety for tanned skin color. This property of lasers is technically known as fluence. Earlier lasers like ruby would release large amount of energy in around 30 milliseconds while recent devices can extend similar energy levels to longer time span of about 100, 500 milliseconds. This enhanced ability of lasers protects skin from any probable damage.
