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.
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.
Laser treatments for dark skin are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.
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.
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.
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.

I look forward to getting my treatments every month! It’s always such a treat! Noma is absolutely a gem and very friendly. She takes the time to explain everything she does and recommends the best products for my benefit. The branch is lovely and always immaculate. I love having my monthly treatments here!
