Laser Hair Removal for Dark, Asian & Black Skin in Stanmore, London

Yes – laser hair removal is safe for darker skin, when it is done right

For years people with darker skin were told laser was not for them, or were burned by clinics using the wrong laser. The physics is simple: the laser targets pigment, and darker skin has more pigment in the skin itself, so the wavelength and settings must be chosen to pass through the skin and heat only the hair root.

How INIYA Clinic does it differently

• Doctor-led assessment of your skin type before any treatment.
• Medical-grade laser with the longer wavelength suited to skin types IV–VI.
• Patch test first, every time, and a conservative first session.
• The same practitioner at every visit, so energy is increased only as your skin shows it is comfortable.

Who we treat

Our Stanmore, Harrow, Wembley and Edgware patients include South Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Black Caribbean and African skin. Many came to us after a poor experience elsewhere.

Pigmentation and ingrown hairs

Darker skin is more prone to post-inflammatory marks from shaving and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal removes the cause, and if you already have marks we can combine it with laser pigmentation treatment or medical-grade skincare.
