Customised Laser Treatments for Dark Skin Concerns

At Skin Renewal, we understand that laser treatment for dark skin requires precision and a deep understanding of dermatological science. Our clinics are led by medical professionals with extensive experience in treating darker skin tones, ensuring that each procedure is conducted with the highest standard of care. Specialised laser and light treatment options can include:

Conditions Specific to Darker Skin Tones

Our Commitment to Quality and Safety

Highly Trained Professionals: Each practitioner is well-versed in the latest laser technologies and treatment protocols for dark skin.

Customised Treatment Plans: We offer personalised solutions that consider your age, skin condition, and aesthetic goals, providing optimal results with a series of 4 to 6 treatments.

Affordable, Effective Solutions: Our goal is to make top-tier skincare accessible. We provide cost-effective treatment plans that don’t compromise on quality.

Understanding the nuances of laser treatments for darker skin tones is crucial. We recommend a consultation with our skilled medical aesthetic doctor, who can guide you through the process and help you understand the benefits and safety measures associated with laser treatments.

Achieving the Best Results

The effects of our laser treatments are cumulative, with each session building upon the last to stimulate new collagen, remodel it, and enhance the lifting and tightening effects over time. Consistent treatments every 4-6 weeks yield the most significant improvements, transforming your skin to appear more radiant, luminous, smooth, and tight. 

frequently asked
questions

Are laser treatments for dark skin tones available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
Can laser treatments be done on those with darker skin tones?

People with darker skin tones form a large and expanding demographic interested in aesthetic treatments, driven by heightened awareness of safe and cost-effective options. These treatments encompass innovative technologies such as the Cutera Titan, Contact Yag (featuring ND:Yag Laser), ND:Yag Skin Tightening, Laser Genesis and HandPico by Vydence. 

These modern procedures are designed to work effectively across different skin colours and are less invasive than older laser technologies. However, it's crucial to consider specific considerations when treating darker skin tones, as not all laser types are suitable.

What side effects can occur with laser treatments?

A concern for individuals with darker skin tones regarding laser treatments is the risk of scarring and post-treatment hyperpigmentation, which may arise if an unsuitable laser or light treatment is used.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), commonly available at many beauty salons, effectively rejuvenates lighter skin tones but is generally not recommended for darker skin tones due to a heightened risk of burns, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and scarring.

What awards has the Cutera Nd:YAG won in the international market?

In 2005, 2006, and 2007, the Aesthetic Trends and Technologies Choice Awards™ in the USA nominated the Cutera Nd:YAG laser as the most versatile hair removal option suitable for all skin types. It was also recognised for its effectiveness in non-ablative collagen remodelling. Additionally, the Cutera Nd:YAG received nominations as the best hair removal laser for darker skin tones.
