A:Answer Hi there,
Unfortunately, due to the way the technology works, IPL is not suitable to treat very dark skin, or Fitzpatrick skin tone VI. Very dark skin contains a high amount of pigment (melanin) and so will absorb more light, which, in extreme cases, can result in potential burns, discolouration or even scarring. SmoothSkin Bare+ is fitted with safety sensors to ensure that it won't fire on an unsuitable skin tone, but if you're unsure please check the skin tone chart on the From The Manufacturer section of this page.
Thanks,
The SmoothSkin Team
