There have been improvements in the past few years with laser hair reduction technology. Even so, that choice is not 100% safe for persons with dark skin tones.
Melanin is the substance found in the epidermis (upper layer of skin) and in the hair that produces its color.
Laser technology targets melanin when it does its destruction. The problem lies in that a laser cannot tell the difference between the melanin in skin and the melanin in hair.
Lasers work by the ability of the skin to absorb light. Since darker skin has more melanin than lighter skin it absorbs more light. This increases the chance that the person's skin may become discolored, blistered or burnt.
The results of hair reduction by laser vary greatly with dark skinned people and it is also important to note that the darker your skin the more treatments you may require to obtain that reduction.
