Don't let myths stop you from achieving smooth skin—we're setting the record straight.

As a person of color who is passionate about helping everyone including my community feel confident in their skin, I’ve heard all the laser hair removal myths. And trust me, most of them are just what it is: myths. At PeachFuzz Laser Studio in Brooklyn, we’re specialized and committed to delivering safe and effective treatments to our clients from all skin types including melanin-rich skin. So let’s study all these myths flying around and debunk them one after the other.

Myth 1: “Laser hair removal doesn’t work on dark skin.”

This myth has been told for ages and won’t just die! Well, we can confidently tell you this, it’s completely false! Laser hair removal is for everyone including those with dark skin. All you need is the right technology and the right technician who understands your skin color and knows how to safely work on it.

At PeachFuzz Laser Studio, we use the Nd:YAG lasers specifically designed to safely treat darker skin tones. This laser technology bypasses the pigment in your skin to directly target the hair follicle thereby reducing the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation. So we can give you a resounding yes that laser hair removal works on dark skin as long as you’re in the hands of experienced professionals like ours.

Myth 2: “It’s too painful.”

It’s true that the idea of zapping sounds can be scary. But in reality, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Truth is, this is very tolerable. Most of our clients have described this as a quick snap – like a rubber band flick. More so, with modern cooling systems available, we can soothe your skin instantly during treatment which dramatically reduces the discomfort.

In addition to these, laser hair removal sessions are super quick. For example, if you’re working on the upper lips area or underarms, you can be done in less than 15 minutes. And we also check in with you at every point to ensure you’re comfortable. So is laser hair removal really painful? I’d say not really. But is the little discomfort worth it? Absolutely!

Myth 3: “You can’t get laser in the summer.”

This is one of the most common laser hair removal myths and we can comfortably tell you that it is false. You can get laser hair removal anytime you want including summer, as long as you can follow the required aftercare protocol starting with a good Sunscreen.

We advise all our clients to wear SPF 30+ sunscreen every day after a session, especially for exposed areas like the legs, face, etc. Staying away from the sun after treatments is part of our laser safety facts and will keep your skin from getting pigmented or irritated. So skipping your laser treatments just because it’s hot out is not necessary guidance.

Myth 4: “It isn’t permanent and doesn’t really work.”

Well, on this one, you must know that besides electrolysis, no hair removal is truly permanent. However, the laser gets as close as it comes. With several sessions, usually 6 to 10 depending on your body and hair type, you’ll notice a major dramatic hair reduction.

Most of our clients have completely stopped shaving. We’ve helped so many folks struggling with PCOS, stubborn facials, and ingrown ditch their razors for good. Don’t take our word for it. Come around and see the results for yourself. Our team will be happy to show you before and after results or connect you with real clients who are now part of our lovely community after going through their transformative experiences.
