Do you have darker skin and unwanted hair?
Before Nd Yag laser, laser hair removal was not safe for darker skin types. Let’s have a look at the reasons for this and what has changed.
Darker skin tones are rich in melanin which determines skin colour, some lasers and IPL can confuse between hair and the rich melanin skin colour.
Advanced Nd Yag technology laser can safely pass through rich melanin skin and only damage the unwanted hair follicle blood supply without harming surrounding skin.
The best laser for darker/brown skin type is FDA approved Nd Yag laser as it safely distinguishes between skin and hair colours.
Some lasers and IPL are not suitable for darker skin. As a result of choosing an incorrect laser you could risk skin damage.
What is Nd Yag Laser?
Nd Yag (1064 nm.) is a type of laser which can goes much deeper into the layers of the skin than other lasers. The Yag laser can safely pass through any amount of melanin in the skin and destroy hair follicles successfully for any skin tones including Asian, Dark, Oriental, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Black Caribbean, Black African and African American skin types.

"When I met Ayse, I was crying in her office because once again I had an ingrowing hair turning into a cyst. This one got solved with some antibiotic but I had to have surgery in the past... I couldn't face this again and decided to use the laser for the bikini.... Ayse has been amazing as she first reassured me that this was absolutely not due to a hygiene issue and many other women were facing the same problem. I have no regret and can now enjoy beautiful lingerie without the fear I would end up with another ingrowing hair when I had to wax.More"

" Amazing experience. I was a bit sceptical about laser would work on me due to my PCOS syndrome. I started with a small area (underarms). I used to wax it and it was always a nightmare when I had to wait for the hairs ... to grow before being able to waxing, especially during summer. With the laser treatment I have got amazing results and therefore decided to treat also other areas.After waxing for so many years my skin was suffering a lot as it is very sensitive. My hairs were not growing at the same time and there were many ingrown hairs. I could not believe that after the first treatment the hairs drastically reduced and my ingrown hairs disappeared, and also the quality of the skin improved amazingly. Laser hairs removal clinic is very clean and in central London. Ayse is a qualified laser therapist, very experienced and professional. She is someone you can definitely trust. I highly recommend, simply laser hair removal.More "

"Ayse at Simply Laser is professional and considerate and provides great after appointment advice and care, always making herself available if you have questions or concerns. After only three treatments I saw a significant reduction in ... growth and am now almost finished my course of treatments with great results. It's important to have realistic expectations when deciding to undertake laser, as some growth will always remain, but it was the best money I ever spent and has given me freedom and confidence I never thought I would have.More"

What is my skin type and is laser suitable for my skin type?
- Your skin type is an important factor for a laser hair removal treatment, as the amount of melanin determines your skin colour.
- We use the Fitzpatrick scale 1-6 skin types to find out a client’s skin type and it’s reaction to laser treatments.
- We also take into consideration a client’s medical and genetic history when we are identifying skin type.
- We can treat all skin types and ethnicities with our ideal combination of Alexandrite and Nd Yag Lasers.
- The unique feature of Nd Yag laser is the high sensitivity and its ability to target the hair follicle without damaging the skin areas for darker skin tones and textures.
