Which type of laser would you recommend for a darker skin tone?

Question

I'm looking to have facial hair and body hair treated with laser for feminization. I know a lot of lasers can be problematic with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI), so which devices and brands of laser would you recommend for dark skinned trans woman or nonbinary femme patient? Are there any special considerations to account for if I'm taking HRT?

Hi, HRT has no impact on how the skin responds to laser. Try to look for Inmode's DiolazeXL, I am having good results with darker skin tones. If you want state of the art, Inmode has the Triton which is specially designed for even black skin. Best of luck!

This laser treats any pigmented hair no matter the patients skin tone. It treats hair growth and eliminate facial hair, including peach fuzz.
