Suitability depends on more than the concern
Darker skin tones
- Device and wavelength matter.
- Settings must account for epidermal melanin and PIH risk.
- Recent sun exposure can change treatment safety.
- Patch testing may be especially important.
Melasma is different
- Not treated like an isolated sun spot.
- Heat and inflammation may worsen pigment.
- Trigger control and conservative planning come first.
- IPL or laser is considered case by case.
Good outcomes begin before treatment day

Is laser safe on darker skin tones?
It can be, but device choice, wavelength, parameters and timing around sun exposure are critical. Suitability is confirmed during consultation and patch testing where required.
How many sessions will I need?
Many treatment plans involve around 4–8 sessions, but the number and interval depend on modality, target, area, skin type and response.
What downtime should I expect?
IPL and many vascular treatments may cause only temporary redness or swelling, while fractional CO₂ involves planned downtime.
Can IPL treat melasma?
Melasma needs separate assessment. IPL or laser is considered selectively rather than used as routine pigmentation treatment.
Do I need a patch test?
Patch testing is required for some treatments and may be recommended according to skin type, recent sun exposure and planned settings.
What aftercare is usually needed?
Aftercare commonly includes gentle skincare, sun protection and temporary avoidance of heat, vigorous exercise or irritating active ingredients. Written guidance is provided.
