Not all Skin Tones are Created Equal

Austin is a very diverse city and is becoming more and more unique as people from all over flock to the Capitol City. Austin has become a melting pot for people from all walks of life.  A plethora of musical diversity, mixed cultures, ethnic backgrounds and with weirdness leading the way, Austin has it all. At Amore Laser of Austin we embrace this diversity and from the inception of our business we wanted the ability to service everybody needs regardless of skin type. 

For this reason we chose the Candela Gentleyag and the Gentlelase as our primary machines used for Laser Hair Removal. Both these machines are FDA approved and combined have the ability to treat all skin types regardless of tone because they use different wavelengths. The Gentleyag is a 1064nm Neodymium Laser and the Gentlelase is a 75nm Alexandrite Laser.  Depending on what “skin type” you are will determine what machine will be best for optimal results. For the record, “Skin Type” is determined by a grading scale based on several factors on how skin will react under ultraviolet light. This scale is this is referred to as the Fitzpatrick Scale.



The effectiveness of your laser hair removal treatment begins by using the proper laser to target the hair follicle. The laser light penetrates the hair follicle destroying the food source preventing the hair shaft from growing and within a few days it simply falls out leaving smooth silky skin.  A series of treatments are necessary because your body hair grows in stages meaning the hair that is growing today is not the same hair that will be growing next month and so on. A typical “cycle” for hair growing is generally 6 to 8 months however this varies with everyone. If the proper laser is used, the majority of the clients treated at Amore Laser are in their “touch up” phase of their treatments well before 8 sessions. Before choosing a Medical Spa in Austin, TX for Laser Hair Removal, do your research to make sure they have the correct machine for your skin type.



At Amore Laser we pride ourselves in offering our clients a convenient, cozy and quaint facility nestled in North Central Austin off Burnett and Anderson Road.
