The 1064nm wavelength bypasses the melanin in your skin and targets only the follicle, making treatment safe and effective for Black, Latina, Caribbean, Indian and Middle Eastern skin.

Frequently asked questions
Is laser hair removal really safe for Black skin?
Yes — with the right device. The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength passes through skin melanin and targets only the follicle. It is FDA-cleared for the darkest skin types.
Why did another clinic refuse to treat me?
Many clinics only have Alexandrite or IPL machines, which are unsafe on dark skin. The GentleMax Pro includes the Nd:YAG wavelength specifically for tones IV–VI.
Does it work on coarse or curly hair?
Very well — coarse dark hair absorbs the laser energy efficiently. It is also the best option to eliminate razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae).
