Skin type decides the laser
Darker and tanned skin needs lasers and settings designed to protect the skin's own pigment. A patch test is a sensible start.
Sun before and after
Recent tanning increases the risk of burns and pigmentation. Plan sessions around holidays and use sunscreen daily.
Why several sessions
Hair grows in cycles and the laser affects only actively growing follicles, so sessions are spaced weeks apart.
Between sessions
Shave rather than wax or pluck, so the follicle stays in place for the next treatment.
