I was told my dark complexion makes me a bad candidate for laser hair removal. What are my alternatives for permanent hair removal?

I have been successfully treating very dark skinned patients for over 8 years with the Gentle YAG laser. In experienced hands, this laser is the safest and best laser for permanent hair reduction in dark skinned patients. I have performed thousands of these treatments without and complications. Good luck and take care! Dr. Groff
