Laser Hair Removal for African American Skin

Q. I am African American and extremely interested in laser hair removal, but Dr. Oz said on the Oprah Winfrey Show that African Americans are not good candidates for the procedure. Is this true?

A. This is no longer true. The advanced technology used in today’s pulsed light hair removal systems allows for safe and effective treatments of all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest. This technology is safe even for tanned skin.
