  1. This was done with a Candela Gentle Lase Plus the wrong laser for black skin. I have done this dark of skin for many years but, has to be done right 1064 Yag at gentle settings if the beard is heavy. In Florida nurse practitioner, ARPA and doctors don't have to have any training. A National Board Certified Laser Hair Removal Specialist with many years is your best bet!

  3. She's not using the Lords name in vain. This is actually an appropiate situation to say God damn considering the dire circumstances in which God's intervention and damnation of said product is needed.

  6. The laser isn't really sensing anything. The laser is fired and the darkness absorbs the heat from the light effectively frying the root which also destroys small blood vessels feeding the hair follicle. If you are fair skinned the heat of the laser only absorbed by the hair and isn't by the skin. Melanin is formed in the skin to absorb/block harmful UVA/UVB rays. Lasers are a concentrated form of light that the heat they produce in the melanin burns the skin and destroys the melanin.

  13. well the laser detects the black of the hair so when you a darker person it burns everything...instead of just the black hair because it cant tell the difference between hair and skin all it sees is black and it tells the computer to turn the laser on

  16. Oh, and to the person who said just shave, many deep complexions are plagued w/ razor bumps and subsequent scarring from it... Shaving is very hard on the skin because it strips away so many layers. The solution for everyone isn't shaving, it's revolutionary technology that includes all skin tones. I'm plagued less by razor bumps when I epilate, but the pain is a nightmare. Naturally tanned skin is a blessing, but it's also predisposed to far darker pigmented scars. Excess unwanted hair, razor

  17. Good!
    It shows that these machins are very powerfull. And even if on white it does not induce burns, it shows the amount of energy that is going into one skin. I do not trust this industry and I do not beleive the safety records they provide. Who know what will be said about those machins in 20 years time...

  18. I am african-american and I've been having the hair on the front of my neck removed by Ideal Image and so far my results have been favorable. I have 6 more treatments to go and I like what I see so far. My skin tone has balanced out, the dark spots have vanished and my skin has softened. Do extensive research and try to find people who have had this kind of treatment done.
