Yes — SharpLight can treat a wide range of skin tones when settings are customized. We perform a patch test and adjust parameters based on Fitzpatrick skin type to maximize safety and effectiveness for darker complexions.

Shave the treatment area 24 hours before and avoid waxing, plucking or bleaching for weeks prior. Skip tanning, exfoliate gently, disclose medications, and arrive with clean, product-free skin for the most effective and safe session.

Protect treated skin from sun, use SPF daily, avoid hot baths and vigorous exercise for 48 hours, and apply gentle moisturizer. Expect gradual hair shedding; avoid waxing and heat treatments between sessions and contact us for any prolonged redness or unusual reactions.

Contraindications include pregnancy, active skin infections, recent intense tanning, and certain medications such as isotretinoin. A full consultation and medical history review will identify risks and determine if laser treatment is appropriate and safe for you.
