3 Ways Our Advanced Laser Hair Removal Safely Treats All Skin Types

Last updated: August 25, 2026

White Onyx Functional & Aesthetic Medicine appreciates that many of our Clients in the Gardner, Massachusetts area may wonder, “Can laser hair removal be done on all skin types?” This is a common and important question because lasers for aesthetic treatment have traditionally been limited in their inclusivity for all skin types. In fact, they have been associated with an increased risk of burns and pigment problems among individuals with melanin-rich skin. We have invested in the Cervello Laser Hair Removal Device, a technology that enables us to treat a wide range of Clients with minimal risk. Here are three ways laser-assisted hair removal with the Cervello laser may be right for you.

1 – A unique design

Lasers for hair removal generally work by targeting the melanin pigment in the hair. Traditionally, this process has worked best for individuals with darker hair and lighter skin, as the laser can better distinguish between the skin and hair. However, laser hair removal has been challenging for those with darker skin and lighter hair. Cervello laser technology is changing all of that. It features three wavelengths. We can select the most appropriate wavelength based on your skin type and skin tone. For instance, the longer wavelength may be best for those with darker skin because it is designed to bypass melanin in the skin’s outermost layer. By targeting the hair follicles directly, you avoid the risk of the skin being targeted, treated, and potentially damaged.

2 – Cooling

The Cervello laser also features a unique system that keeps your skin cool throughout treatment. This built-in cooling system minimizes excess heat and reduces the risk of burns. It also helps to support a more comfortable treatment process. Lastly, by protecting the skin, advanced cooling enables us to treat it more aggressively without the risk of irritation or thermal injuries. We can get more out of each treatment, without compromising your comfort and safety. This means you also spend less time in the treatment chair and more time enjoying your increasingly smooth and silky skin.

3 – Custom treatment

With Cervello laser technology, treatment is no longer “one size fits most.” Our team can carefully select from different settings to perfectly customize treatment to not only your skin tone, but also to:

  • Hair thickness
  • Hair type
  • Hair color

Customized treatments of any kind are generally associated with better results and a safer and more comfortable experience. We can even customize the laser intensity to treat those with sensitive skin comfortably.
