Is IPL/BBL safe for brown skin?

This
is a great question, and the answer basically is No, not safe, the darker
your skin, the greater the risk of pigmentation, or worse, burning or
scarring. So what are your choices if you have darker olive or brown skin? Answer... PicoSure FOCUS is our "go to" laser for both photo
rejuvenation and getting rid of unwanted brown spots in not just our fair

For darker skin it is safer to use a specific laser for your problem.Safe lasers are q switched yag or diode laser .

Extreme care should be taken to avoid hypopigmentation with IPL in dark skin or olive skin individuals.Best to see an expert.Dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100
