TREATMENT
It can be safely assumed that if you are from a gene pool that includes Middle Eastern, Asian, African, Southern European, South American, or Native you could have ethnic skin.
Technically speaking, and even if it does not seem so, ethnic skin is sensitive.
The same genetic component that allows you not to burn in the sun or get a great tan in a matter of hours or days makes your skin more sensitive to certain technology and beauty treatments.
Another condition that needs even more care in darker skin tones is acne and post acne scarring.
Certain treatments such as Laser Therapy or Laser hair reduction and acne scar reduction normally work by inducing heat.
Laser beams are absorbed by your pigment (red or brown) or water in your skin. This absorption results in heat. Heat does a lot of things that are good – it stimulates a collagen building response, coagulates, and shrinks small veins and disables hair follicles.
However, when this heat passes through skin that has high pigment-making potential, the risks of pigment reactions are increased considerably. This can cause possible “side effects” that no one wants?
Post inflammatory hyper pigmentation and surface burns could also happen if the wrong Laser Platform is used.
AlexPro, with 4000W of power, manages simultaneously the wavelengths 760 and 808nm, dosing them in the desired percentages depending on the phototype and characteristics of the hair. It combines all the characteristics of alexandrite with the advantages of diode: it is the only laser able to safely treat all skin types, even dark phototypes, from light hair with a very thin texture to darker hair, performing fast treatments with maximum comfort all year round, thus becoming the gold standard for hair removal.
