Skincare | The days of laser treatments rendering skin raw for weeks are long gone. Thanks to technological developments, today’s lasers provide less pain, quicker recovery times, and safer results for deep skin tones. New York physician Dr. Michelle Henry notes: “Older lasers absorbed melanin, threatening burns for darker skin. More recently, efficiency and safety come first in choices.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates that over 3.5 million laser resurfacing treatments will be carried out in 2023 (a 5% rise from 2022).
Thanks to melanin-friendly wavelengths, darker skin tones now have access to once dangerous laser treatment.
Pico Sculpting: The Marvel of Skin-Tightening
Like a “scuba diver, snorkeler, and surfer,” uses ultra-fast picosecond pulses to target deep, middle, and surface layers—that is, to stimulate collagen.
Downtime: One to three days of mild redness or swelling; results show within one week.
Popularity: Rising in the United States following South Korea’s hegemony over its beauty scene.

Using a “cold” 2,910-nm wavelength reduces heat damage and avoids numbing cream.
Downtime: Unlike conventional 1-month recuperation, slight redness for five days.
Perfect for sun damage, fine lines, acne scars free of the lobster-face phase.
Features: 3D tech driven by artificial intelligence for accuracy, air-cooled rolling system, cold sapphire tip.
Two to five days’ downtime; safe for all skin tones.
Perfect for: dark spot treatment around sensitive regions (eyes, lips), acne scar treatment, wrinkle treatment.
Why Dark Skin Tones Can At last Trust Lasers
For deeper skin, historically lasers carried hazards including hyperpigmentation and burns. New developments of today solve this:
Melanin-Friendly Wavelengths: Target problems without overloading pigment.
Devices such as Mosaic 3D protect the surface of the skin by use of sapphire tips.
Try pico sculpting (1–3 days downtime) to tighten.
UltraClear, with its five-day redness, outperforms conventional ablative lasers.
Mosaic 3D (2–5 days recuperation) carefully handles sensitive areas including eyes and mouth.
