PRESENTATION OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR DARK SKIN

Conventional lasers are not at all suitable for hair removal on dark skin. They target the pigment present in the hair (melanin), but since dark skin also contains melanin in the skin (unlike white skin), the risk of burning is high. Fortunately, to achieve laser hair removal without risk , it is possible to use a laser that is 100% suitable for hair removal on dark skin .
For these skin types, it is necessary to use a specific technology to avoid any risk of burning, while being effective. The laser used is Nd-YAG, this latest generation equipment allows treatment of these phototypes while eliminating the risk of skin burns.
The medical laser center of the Clinique esthétique de la Croix d'Or in Geneva is equipped with lasers allowing hair removal on matte, dark and black skin.
In addition to body parts, laser hair removal can also be performed on the face, particularly on the upper lip and chin. Due to its unsightly nature, female facial hair can be a source of complexes. Radical treatment can sometimes be tricky due to the hormonal nature of this area. It is also necessary to ensure the absence of underlying endocrine pathologies that could limit the results of the laser. Similarly, certain areas should be avoided (cheeks, cheekbones, neck) given the risk of paradoxical regrowth described in certain scientific studies.

PROCEDURE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR DARK SKIN

Do you have an appointment for an initial consultation at our medical hair removal center in Geneva? Welcome! Here is how this first meeting will take place. From your very first session, our specialists at the Laser Center of the Aesthetic Clinic of the Croix d'Or in Geneva are at your service.
A cosmetic doctor from the clinic will start by performing a complete examination of the areas of your body to be depilated. This first visual examination consists of identifying the characteristics of the areas to be treated, which will determine how to treat them. Is your skin suitable for laser treatment and do you confirm your permanent hair removal approach? Your doctor will then ensure that you are comfortably installed, and ensure that your skin is completely clean before starting any laser treatment. Once ready, the treatment can begin.
Laser hair removal for dark skin is very well tolerated. It should be noted that for some people and on certain areas, the doctor may suggest the use of an anesthetic cream to be applied 1 hour before the session on the treatment area. This solution on a case-by-case basis will be offered to you by the doctor at our medical hair removal center in Geneva, after diagnosis only. Rest assured, most of our patients complete the entire laser treatment without anesthetic cream!
The duration of the session may vary depending on the size and difficulty of the area to be treated, but never exceeds 90 minutes. In men with dark skin, for hormonal reasons, new growth may appear. Maintenance sessions may then be necessary (1 to 2 per year before summer, for example).
In all cases, the treatment and follow-up are always personalized. The doctors at the Medical Laser Center of the Croix d'Or Aesthetic Clinic in Geneva are there to listen to you and advise you after each session.
