Darker skin has its own benefits of sun protection and less wrinkles, but it is too sensitive to laser therapies, microdermabrasion, chemical formulations, surgical applications and even cosmetics. Certain skin treatments are reported to lead a person with dark skin to keloids, hyper and hypopigmentation, moles and bumps.

An article lists out tips to tackle dark skin:

1. Use alcohol free cleansers.
2. Cleanse your skin daily to clear it from grime and cosmetics.
3. Certain chemicals that you should avoid are alcohol, dye, fragrances etc.
4. Do not cleanse your skin at regular intervals as it might lead to dryness.
5. Avoid harsh laser treatments or chemical peels.
6. Exfoliate your skin daily.

Laser Hair Removal

Bald really is Beautiful-Yes you can take it all off on any area on any skin type!  Laser Hair Removal is an excellent and popular medium to remove unwanted hair on any part of the body. The Tracey Bell centres use several different types of lasers and light devices indicated for different skin types and hair textures. During a treatment, light passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft. This absorption raises the temperature of the hair follicle and thermally destroys its activity and potential for re-growth. A complete session takes between 15 to 45 minutes and a course of six treatments is required at 4 -6 week intervals.

Tattoo Removal

Almost any tattoo can now be removed with the use of lasers. The treatment works by breaking down the particles of ink suspended beneath the skin, enabling your immune system to naturally eliminate them. Several types of laser wavelengths are employed to remove different colour groups and the specific laser pulses are directed onto the tattoo breaking up the pigment. Over the next several weeks the body’s macrophages remove the treated pigmented areas. Generally from 3 and up to 12 monthly sessions may be required and treatment times vary on the size of the tattoo which can take anywhere between 15 to 45 minutes.
