Darker-skinned patients can consider the following treatments:
- Laser treatments
- Ultracel Q+
- HIFU
- Fractional radiofrequency devices
Laser treatments, Ultracel Q+, HIFU and the use of fractional radiofrequency devices can be performed safely on darker-skinned patients to reduce the pore size. The settings applied to the devices are lower than those used for patients with fairer skin.
HIFU and Radiofrequency treatment is not colour-sensitive and so it can be performed on anyone, however with slightly modified lower settings for patients with darker compared to fairer skin.
Long wavelength non-invasive laser treatments performed at lower settings can reduce the pore size but must be performed with care.
