BEST IPL HAIR REMOVAL DEVICE FOR DARK SKIN

Infinity Hair Removal Device

SILK’N

Claims to be safe for darker skin tones

Silk’n Infinity stands out as the brand claims that its device works on darker skin tones, though it’s best to proceed with caution as IPL treatments are advised against those with skin types 4-6.

One reviewer who describes herself as having dark skin and black hair says, “[As the] weeks and treatments progressed, I have noticed the hairs growing back thinner and slower.” Its compact, cordless design makes it easy to stow away for travel while allowing for a better range of motion.
