Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin?
Hi Smile. You are absolutely a candidate for laser hair removal. If your skin is the same as a Spaniard, we would suggest a diode laser like the Lumenis Lightsheer. If you have is darker like a Somali, then we would suggest a Nd:Yag laser like the Sciton profile. Pick a practitioner experienced with your skin type. Good luck.

Dark hair and light skin are good combinations for laser hair removal.
Dark beard hair should respond well to laser hair removal. The lighter your skin color is the easier the process is but even light brown skin doesn't present a big problem. I recommend seeing an experienced dermatologist so that safe and effective treatment settings can be chosen. Light brown skin can potentially absorb too much light energy if safe parameters are not chosen

Candidate for Facial Hair Removal
Based on your description of your skin color and ethnicity, you are definitely a candidate for laser hair removal. However, if your skin tends to be on the darker side, you are more at risk for hyperpigmentation. A light skin, dark hair individual tends to have the best results. Be sure you visit an experienced practice. Also, be sure not to tan or be in the sun during your treatment. Good luck.
