While most cosmetic treatments available today are great for lighter skin tones, they aren’t always safe or effective for skin of color. In fact, some can actually be dangerous for black, brown, or olive skin tones. That’s why our specialists compiled a list of the top 4 cosmetic treatments that are ideal for darker skin tones.

Microneedling

Microneedling, RF microneedling, and PRP microneedling are great way to achieve a more youthful appearance. These procedures only require a few days of downtime. It can improve skin tone and texture, increase overall skin radiance, and reduce pore size. Additionally, it boosts collagen production which tightens and firms skin.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are ideal for all skin types, even darker tones. This is particularly true for skin peels that exfoliate and promote cell turnover without causing inflammation. Chemical peels have minimal downtime and can treat a variety of skin concerns.

Laser Treatments

There are lasers that are safe and effective for darker skin tones. This treatment can address wrinkles and fine lines, pigmentation issues, large pores, acne and acne scars, and skin texture issues. Most laser treatments have 1–5-day downtime.

HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a hydra-dermabrasion treatment. The three-step process gives you clean, hydrated, glowing skin. It is safe for all skin types, even sensitive skin. And the booster serums are customizable to help you address your unique concerns. This is also a wonderful facial for acne. Some studies show that HydraFacial improves acne in 100% of participants.

Fire + Ice Facial

Our aestheticians love it when patients ask for this facial. This is an active exfoliating treatment with zero downtime. You will not experience peeling, redness, inflammation, or irritation but you get cleaner, fresher, smoother skin that is soft and dewy. Its even safe for pregnant and nursing women!
