what is the influence of skin colour and hair colour on laser hair removal?
The best candidate for the laser hair removal is the one with a light skin and dark hair. This is because dark hair absorbs more melanin while light skin absorbs less melanin. Hence in such an individual the energy levels can be increased safely. On the other hand, an individual with dark skin and light hair is not a good candidate because dark skin will absorb more energy, while light hair will absorb less energy. Thus the energy levels cannot be increased safely in such an individual since there is a risk of burning the skin.
