I've been using a Philips Lumea, got about 4 sessions in. I'm basically doing almost all my body (full brazilian, lower legs, arms, underarms) and it takes about 40 mins for all of it. I've found it pinches a bit on grown hair (I haven't bothered to shave beforehand after the 2nd session, so little of it regrew), but not worse than waxing, and only on grown hairs. If I shave them, it's almost imperceptible.

I'm light skinned and dark brown haired, and plenty hairy, so I hoped it would work. And it has. I'm pretty consistent with it. After 4 sessions, almost no hair regrowth in between sessions. The little that does grow back is much sparser (probably patches I've missed last time), and way finer and easier to shave. I used to have terrible irritation from hell whenever I shaved (yes, I've tried all the methods, all the products, everything), and terrible ingrown hairs no matter if I shaved or waxed, and no matter how much I exfoliated. That's all gone now.

I'm loving this thing and even if I have to keep doing it for the rest of my life (although salon options aren't the definitive solutions they claim to be, either), I really don't mind. I'm expecting my first completely free and easy summer, in the body hair department. Never thought I would.

What laser is best for hair removal on dark skin?

For darker skin tones, Nd: Yag laser technology—which is what we use— is the best for providing safe and effective laser hair removal treatments.

Is laser hair removal possible for dark skin?

Myth: Laser Hair Removal Won't Work on Dark Skin For this reason, laser hair removal was not an option for darker skin tones. Advanced laser technology now allows us to effectively treat all skin tones, although the procedure is only effective for dark hair follicles—regardless of skin tone.

Does Braun IPL work on dark skin?

While IPL treatment is an easy, effective hair removal method for some, it unfortunately isn't suitable for darker tones of skin. This is because melanin pigments aren't just in our hair – they're also present in the skin, too. Darker skin contains more melanin than fair skin.

Does Philips Lumea work on dark skin?

Philips Lumea is also not suitable for dark skin tones, as it can cause skin damage such as burns, blisters or discoloring.
