The machines used in laser hair removal are designed to attack dark pigmentation like that of most hair follicles. Because of this it sometimes has trouble distinguishing between the hair follicle and darker skin tone.
If your skin tone is medium to dark you should consult a physician before receiving treatments. They will be able to give you an assessment of how the laser will respond to your skin. They may suggest lowering the levels of the laser to minimize the effects contact will have on the skin. Of course this will also decrease the effectiveness of the treatment, so be sure to consider all possibilities before continuing.
The more contrast there is between skin tone and the hair follicles the better the hair removal results will be. For this reason the coarseness of your hair plays a role in laser hair removal effectiveness as well. The darker your hairs are the more responsive the treatment will be. Those with light, red or Grey hair will have less success than those with dark brown or black hair.
Additionally, the coarseness of your hair is very important. In the ideal laser hair removal patient hair will be very dark and very coarse. This kind of hair against a light skin tone will create an excellent contrast and have the laser working most effectively.
In summary, the ideal laser hair removal patient will have medium to light skin, with dark, coarse hair. The greater the contrast between skin tone and hair follicle pigmentation the more ideal the candidate is and the more successful their treatment will be.
