Skin Types According to the Fitzpatrick Scale
To perform laser hair removal safely, we first determine your skin type. We use the Fitzpatrick scale, the medical standard for classifying skin types based on skin color, pigmentation, and reaction to sunlight.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Type 1 | Very fair skin, always burns, does not tan |
| Type 2 | Fair skin, burns easily, tans lightly |
| Type 3 | Lightly tanned skin, sometimes burns |
| Type 4 | Tanned or Mediterranean skin, rarely burns |
| Type 5 | Dark skin, almost never burns |
| Type 6 | Very dark skin, rich in pigment |
Is Laser Hair Removal with the Soprano Titanium Safe for Dark Skin?
Yes, laser hair removal is safe for dark skin when the right technology is used. Darker skin contains more melanin, which made traditional lasers or IPL treatments more likely to cause burns or pigmentation issues. The Soprano Titanium makes laser hair removal safe for darker skin types.
Key benefits:
Nd:YAG wavelength (1064 nm)
This wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin and avoids the top layer that contains more pigment. As a result, the follicle is treated without damaging the skin.
SHR technology (Super Hair Removal)
Instead of one intense light pulse, SHR gradually heats the hair follicle. This reduces the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation.
ICE+ cooling system
The handpiece continuously cools the skin, ensuring the treatment remains comfortable and safe, even for sensitive or darker skin types.
At First Wax, you benefit from an effective treatment method suitable for every skin type. Each session is carefully tailored to your skin. If you want reduced hair growth, no shaving irritation, and long-lasting smooth results, this is the ideal solution.
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal
What is the difference between laser hair removal and IPL treatment?
Although both methods use light to remove hair, laser hair removal with the Soprano Titanium is much more precise and effective than IPL. The laser uses a specific wavelength that penetrates deeper into the skin and targets the hair follicle directly. This results in fewer sessions and longer-lasting results, even for darker skin types.
Can I undergo laser hair removal if my skin is tanned?
Yes, you can. Thanks to the advanced technology of the Soprano Titanium, laser hair removal is also safe when the skin is tanned. The laser automatically adjusts to your skin pigmentation and targets only the hair follicles. However, we recommend waiting at least 48 hours after sun exposure to prevent skin sensitivity.
Can I take care of my skin after the laser treatment?
Yes, but only use gentle, fragrance-free products immediately after the treatment. Avoid heat sources such as saunas or hot showers for 24 hours. A hydrating cream or aloe vera gel helps soothe and restore the skin. We advise avoiding sun exposure or tanning beds for the first few days.
