When laser hair removal first was created it was the answer to the age old problem of unwanted hair and all the old and ineffective methods of dealing with the problem but it was much less effective on the darker skin tones since the settings had to be very low in order to minimize the risk for those patients.
It wasn't until recently that new technology has made it possible for darker skin tones to be treated safely and effectively.
Tropicalaser www.tropicalaser.com one of the industry leaders has said "we use variable wave length technology which allows for an effective as well as safe treatment even on the darkest of skin tones. Most companies will not invest in this kind of technology because it is simply out of their budget but we feel that (all) our patients deserve to see results and that can only be achieved with this equipment"
There is no question that laser hair removal is already the most popular of aesthetic procedures but the equipment used certainly seems to have an impact on the results of the treatments.
