V Beam is color blind and can be used on darker skin tones. With any laser comes potential side effects including swelling, redness, pain, bruising, burns and change in pigmentation. Please seek an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In general, it is not a good idea to perform any pigment- ariented lasers (VBeam®/pulsed-dye laser/Alexandrite hair removal laser/ruby diode laser/Nd:Yag brown spot or tattoo removal laser) on even even mildly darker skin types.

It is difficult to assess your specific
concerns without a picture, however generally speaking, the VBeam laser is safe
for all skin types, and is the gold standard for safely and effectively
treating vascular issues. Darker skin types absorb more heat, therefore
laser settings must always be adjusted accordingly in order to avoid hyper/hypopigmentation.
While treating darker skin types can come with higher risk for complication, if
you are under the care of an experienced physician utilizing the appropriate
settings, there should be no issues. Seek out a board certified Dermatologist
that has extensive experience using lasers on a wide variety of skin types. Best
of luck!
