How does Laser hair removal for Dark skin work?
In the past, technology wasn’t advanced enough to effectively carry out laser hair removal on dark skin, when the laser beam targeted the hair pigment, the machines worked by recognising the contrast between the hair colour and the skin colour (making older machines ideal for customers with light skin tones and dark hair colours).
With new machinery such as our Diode Ice Laser, the laser beam is incredibly focused and isolated on the targeted hair follicle, meaning dark skinned customers result in the same high quality results as light skinned clients with excellent results, taking immediate effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still Have Questions?
Can anyone be treated by Laser Hair Removal?
Yes, all skin tones and hair types can be treated. Some clients are less receptive than others. It is for that reason that we insist upon a patch test from the outset to ensure that our clients only receive proper and professional care.
Equally, we would not treat potential clients who suffer from specific, ongoing medical issues for which IPL would not be appropriate. If you have any concerns on this point, please just call and speak to one of our friendly consultants who will be pleased to advise you confidentially.
Does it cost anything to come in for a consultation?
All consultations are free and private. Call to schedule your consultation today on 01702 431970.
Is laser hair removal for dark skin painful?
During laser hair removal, some people may experience slight discomfort, but the intensity of pain may differ from one person to another. Most people describe the sensation as a mild pinching or stinging, similar to the feeling of a rubber band snapping on the skin. However, those with sensitive skin or when treating delicate areas may feel more intense discomfort.
It is crucial to inform your medical practitioner if you encounter any considerable ache or unease during the treatment, as they could make modifications to the settings or employ alternative methods to alleviate it.
How many laser hair removal treatments do I need?
The number of sessions needed for laser hair removal to achieve the best results is dependent on various factors like skin type, hair color, and treatment area. Although, majority of individuals would require multiple sessions to achieve significant and long-lasting hair reduction.
In most cases, people typically require approximately 6-8 appointments for laser hair removal in order to achieve the best possible results. These appointments are commonly spaced out every 4-6 weeks to coincide with the growth cycle of the hair. Although the first few sessions may result in a significant decrease in hair growth, additional treatments might be needed to achieve the desired outcomes.
It is important to grasp the fact that results can vary depending on the person and the quantity of treatments needed may fluctuate. Additionally, regular maintenance treatments may be required to uphold the achieved outcomes.
We suggest consulting with our skilled and capable practitioners to determine the optimal treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs and goals.

Leah's story
Leah came to CHC Aesthetics for cellulite and hair removal treatment. Here she talks about her treatment and how well everything worked for her. Another delighted customer!
I love coming here, I completed a course a while back that truly improved my acne. I recently visited again, and the lady was lovely and tailored the facial to my needs. Thank you so much!
10/10 experience, I highly recommend this place! Both the owner and doctor were really lovely, welcoming and friendly people. I was absolutely over the moon with how quick they responded to my request of getting my lip filler dissolved. I was booked in the next day! I was very pleased with the procedure as there was minimal pain compared to the stories i’d heard about lip filler dissolving online. The doctor was amazing! This is 100% the place to go.
I have been coming here for a long time now and all I can say is AMAZING 🤩 you always get a friendly welcome from the staff and always there to help and give good advice. Penny has built a great team and business and I would not go for treatment anywhere else because of this. Dr Tara Khazim is absolutely amazing, she takes great pride in her work and so she should. Every appointment I've had more information and advice on beauty treatments to do at home, and she listens to each client and there individual needs. I am very impressed with her work. They have a wide variety of treatment's and beauty products. I would highly recommend this place ☺️
Thank you so much Tala you have made me feel so much better , Botox & Fillers I'm looking so much better than when I first came to you. I would recommend 👌 anyone To go to CHC AESTHETICS 👍👍👍👍❤️
A professional, friendly salon, I felt at ease immediately. Having discussed my requirements with Lilly, my therapist, a Hydra Facial was recommended. The treatment was relaxing and more importantly to me, the result was amazing. My skin appeared rejuvenated. It was plumped and glowing. Extremely satisfied. I would highly recommend this salon for its kind, knowledgeable staff and also for the results driven treatment provided in a clean, comfortable environment. Thank you.
I would actually rate it ten out of ten, first time going for a facial. Was a lovely relaxing atmosphere, the shop was beautiful and had a lovely peaceful feeling to it! Lilly did my facial and she couldn’t have been any more friendly and accommodating as she was. Absolutely brilliant! Will definitely come back again. A lovely experience and my skin feels great! Top Marks and will definitely recommend!
