Lasers and technologies

Devices that work through light, heat or waves. On darker skin, the majority here, the settings and the preparation matter as much as the machine.

These devices work through light, heat or waves, and reach in depth what no cream does: texture, scars, laxity, pigmentation.

At our latitude, the question is not “which laser” but “which settings, on which skin, in which season”. Intermediate to darker phototypes — the most common here — answer thermal injury by producing melanin. Two to three weeks of preparation and daily sun protection are therefore not recommendations: they are conditions.

Some devices are not offered beyond a certain phototype, because the risk of pigmentation outweighs the expected benefit. This is one of the reasons a request may be refused.
