Laser for brown skin, the way Taradale asks for it
With about 17,600 residents in the 2021 Census, Taradale is one of the most populous communities in the north-east. Six in ten residents have South Asian heritage, and there are also sizeable Filipino and Black communities. So the question we get from Taradale is less about price and more about safety: will this laser mark my skin?
It is a fair question, because older lasers and IPL devices can be risky on melanin-rich skin. The Candela GentleMax Pro has a 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength, a long wavelength that passes through surface pigment to reach the follicle, and a cryogen spray that cools the skin just before each pulse. We begin with a patch test and cautious settings. Energy is raised only after your skin has shown it tolerates them, which is why consultations here are thorough.
Many Taradale clients choose laser because shaving and waxing leave dark stubble shadows and bumps, not just because of the hair itself. Over a series of sessions the hair becomes finer and sparser, and those shadows fade with it.
All staff and clients are women, and we're open seven days, including Sunday until 5 PM.

Taradale questions
4 answers+
How far is Lavish Beauty from Taradale?
+
About 7 km and roughly 12 minutes in light traffic (approx.): Taradale Drive to Falconridge Boulevard NE, north past Saddletowne onto 60 Street NE, then Cornerstone Drive NE to Cornerstone Boulevard.
Can laser cause dark spots on brown skin?
+
Any laser can irritate skin if the settings are wrong. With the Nd:YAG wavelength, a patch test and conservative settings, the risk is low. Avoid tanning before sessions and use sunscreen afterward to protect your skin further.
Will laser help with the dark shadow after shaving?
+
Usually, yes. That shadow is coarse dark hair just under the skin. As laser reduces and thins the hair over several sessions, the shadow becomes much less visible.
Can I try a patch test before committing to a package?
+
Yes. The $10 consultation includes a patch test on the area you want treated, and the fee is credited toward your first session. We check the spot before you decide anything.
