Luckily, certain lasers are now safe and effective for use on virtually any skin tone, so you could be a good candidate for this treatment. Just make sure you choose a reputable cosmetic surgeon’s office for your laser hair removal, and schedule an in-person consultation first. There, you should have the opportunity to discuss your specific needs and goals, as well as address any questions or concerns you might have.

Good afternoon and thank you for your question! I would recommend finding a physician's office that uses an Nd:YAG laser. The YAG laser is the most gentle laser for all skin colors. Be sure that the technician does a spot test before proceeding with any treatment to ensure that your skin reacts fine. The technician will use a lower energy setting for darker areas of skin. Best of luck! For more information, please feel free to visit our website!

We can currently treat all skin types with modern hair renoval lasers. We treat many patients with middle eastern type skin. The key is using the proper laser. Look for an experienced clinic in your area with a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser
