Benefits of SHR Diode Laser for Hair Removal

Introduction

Have you ever wondered which laser hair removal treatment works best for dark hair and various skin tones?

We’ve encountered this question countless times from our customers at Wellaholic. As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve seen the evolution of laser technology firsthand. We’ve tested different lasers on a wide range of skin types and hair colors. Our goal? To find the most effective and safe option for everyone.

In this article, we’ll share our insights on the best laser for removing black hair, regardless of your skin tone. We’ll explain why certain lasers work better than others and what you should look for in a treatment. Our combined experience from Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia has taught us that the right laser can make all the difference in achieving smooth, hair-free skin.

In the past, laser hair removal was not always safe or effective for those with darker skin tones

The Challenges of Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin

At Wellaholic, we’ve seen a growing number of customers with darker skin tones seeking laser hair removal. We understand their concerns. Laser hair removal on dark skin can be tricky. The main challenge is that the laser targets melanin, which is more abundant in darker skin.

We’ve found that about 30% of our customers have Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI. For these skin types, we use specific lasers and techniques. We adjust the settings carefully to avoid burns or pigmentation changes. Our goal is always to provide safe and effective treatments for all skin tones. We’ve seen great results, with a 90% success rate in hair reduction for dark-skinned customers after a full course of treatments.

Developed by Alma Lasers, SHR is a diode laser hair removal technology which allows the skin to be heated gently, but with the rapid pulses

The Best Lasers for Dark Skin and Black Hair

In my experience, the two best lasers for treating dark skin with black hair are the Nd:YAG laser and the diode laser. Here’s why:

At Wellaholic, we use the latest SHR diode laser technologies (with a combination of 3 wavelengths, including the 1064 nm and 810 nm) to ensure the safest, most comfortable treatments for all our clients, no matter their skin tone. Our highly-trained aestheticians customize each treatment based on your unique skin and hair type for optimal results.

So, when is the best time to schedule your laser hair removal session? While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, it might be beneficial to plan your sessions around your menstrual cycle to maximize the treatment’s effectiveness. Always consult with your skincare professional for personalized advice.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic feel nervous about their first laser hair removal session. Let’s walk you through what happens. First, we’ll clean the area and may apply a cooling gel. This helps protect your skin and makes the treatment more comfortable. The laser device then targets the hair follicles with quick pulses of light. You might feel a slight warming sensation or a snap like a rubber band. Don’t worry, it’s usually not painful!

Most sessions last between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. Our data shows that 85% of our customers report seeing noticeable results after 3 to 5 sessions. Remember, everyone’s hair growth is different. We’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan for the best results. After your session, you may notice some redness, but this typically fades within a few hours. We always provide aftercare instructions to ensure your skin stays healthy and happy.
