Can laser or IPL treatments be used on darker skin tones?

Yes — laser and IPL treatments can be safely used on darker skin tones, but they require careful selection of the right device and settings. Some wavelengths carry a slightly higher risk of pigmentation changes, so treatments must be tailored to your individual skin type. At Welbeck, our dermatologists are experts at tailoring treatment to skin tones and may also perform a small test patch first to ensure your skin responds as expected before proceeding with the full treatment.
