Cost matters and this is not a procedure where you should try to cut corners
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images Hair removal is one of the core tenets of beauty and skin care as we know them. Whether that’s creating the perfect brow shape for your face, slipping on a bikini and thus eschewing any hair that would be visible as a result, or keeping your legs naked and glowing, there’s sometimes a lot of hair to continuously get rid of, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Dr. Henry is seeing that realization happen for more and more medical community professionals in real time. “We now have folks who can treat people of color in most major areas and even rural areas,” she says. “I have colleagues who are not of color coming in and asking to be trained, so they can treat patients of color. It’s an active conversation.
Among resources to help you find a skilled provider is the National Medical Association, which is one the largest organizations of Black physicians. You can find not only dermatologists there, but also laser experts, as not every doctor specializes in it. Dr. Henry recommends the Skin of Color Society, which has many physicians of diverse backgrounds.
Dr. Hartman has found himself taking on the role of educating both his patients and other physicians on the right kind of lasers to use. “Patients will sometimes come to me after having several sessions elsewhere and tell me the laser hair removal didn’t work,” he says. “And when I do the digging, I find out the reason it didn’t work is because that laser was never meant to work for them. So, we have to educate people on the right devices, even showing them the ones I’ve used on myself.
