Why does it work best with dark hair and pale skin?

Because the laser is attracted to the darkest object. That's why your skin needs to be un-tan.

It picks up the dark hair and medium hair color pigment so if you have tan or dark skin it can't pick it up. There is another brand that works better for that combination.

Hi,It works best with that combo because it is the pigment in the hair that the laser targets. That's also why they won't let anyone with dark skin use it, could be dangerous.

The laser works on a wave length that can target dark pigment. So if u have a lighter skin tone than hair color the light or laser can differentiate skin from hair.

I think it depends on how much sun exposure you have . I have a nice tan and it works on my skin but I'm not super tan. The indicator on the device will let you know if the pigment is too dark. It won't zap. Hope this helps!

I myself am mega pale so I can't say from experience lol- but there are so many shades and the colors are really blendable with a good concealer brush so I'd say so � you can always add in a little moisturizer to make it easier to mix too

I believe you can use it on dark brown hair.I used it on Afro dark/gray hair and it gave me a perfect bleach.

I use a darker shade even though my hair is lighter. I had the same problem with the lighter shade. It was just too light to show up. Darker works really well and you can mix them til you get the right tone. My hair looks thick if my roots are darker and no one can even tell. you won't need nearly as much product that way.

Yes. We have seen the best results are the darker skin types (Black and Indian) especially for dark underarms.

I saw it demonstrated on The View and they all tried it and it worked on all of them (black white). It blends into your own skin color. I am a light or neutral beige person and it's perfect on me.

The color out of the bottle is very light but I have very fair skin it works for me. Some of the other reviews I read said that it adjusted to their skin tones after a few minutes. It also woked fine when I had a suntan. I doubt it would work on darker olive tones though

I am black and it works wonders. I also use African shea butter and it makes the perm last longer between touch ups.

I have dark hair.. you just need to not over do it, and spray from a distance.

Works great for both! People at tanning salon I go to even asked what I use, they said I always look so dark. Well worth the price!!

Without really knowing how dark your skin is, I cannot answer. My skin tone is olive and it does work. Maybe you can determine based on my tone? If you are of a lighter asian tone, I would say it would work.

I feel like dark skin people can use it, but its doesn't have that many colors to chose from. I'm also a lady of color and I found it hard to match my skin ton because of cloudy color that appears once you apply it.

In my experience it does, but slowly. It basically makes your skin cells turn over more quickly, so dark patches will eventually slough off revealing lighter skin underneath.

I dont know. Its never worked properly for me. It keeps telling me that my skin is too light to work

It's a very pale color that is supposed to oxidize to your natural skin-tone. Sometimes it does, sometimes (with thicker application) it doesn't

Their website says: "Treatments work best on darker hair types or hair that contains more melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives hair and skin color, and absorbs light energy. Black and dark brown respond the best, although brown and light brown hairs will also respond, but typically require more treatments. Red may show some response. White, grey or blonde hairs usually don't respond as well to treatments. However, some users have noted results after multiple treatments."
