Does K Laser have any possible side effects on the skin, especially dark skin?
Apr 10, 2013
Laser by itself is not a treatment for acne per se and is just used in limited cases such as for the scars of acne. It is contraindicated to use most lasers on dark skin because of the risk of burns that can leave permanent scars.
