Our laser technicians’ levels of education and skill allow them to safely provide hair removal, laser facials, treatment for spots and scars, as well as treatment for skin conditions specific to skin of color—which other med spas in Dallas simply can’t achieve!
Rejuvenate Your Skin With Peace of Mind
Patients with skin of color can find safe, effective ethnic skin laser treatments in Dallas! The laser technicians at Lemmon Avenue have a thorough understanding of the Fitzpatrick skin phototype scale, which gives unmatched knowledge of how different skin types react to light. This allows us to safely treat all skin types, tones, and textures.
What is the Fitzpatrick Scale?
The Fitzpatrick Scale is a measurement of how much melanin exists in a patient’s skin.
1. Very White, Freckled, or Ivory | Always Burns/Never Tans
2. White, Fair Complexion | Usually Burns/Rarely Tans
3. White to Olive | Sometimes Burns/Always Tans
4. Olive or Light Brown | Rarely Burns/Always Tans
5. Dark Brown | Very Rarely Burns/Moderately Pigmented
6. Black | Highly Pigmented/Never Burns/Tans Quickly

Frequently Asked Questions About Ethnic Skin Laser Treatments
Typically, the only laser treatment we avoid on skin of color is IPL (Intense Pulse Light) or other light-based treatments like Broad Band Light or photofacials. Ablative laser resurfacing is also commonly avoided at other practices that are not experienced in treating melanin-rich skin of color. Our highly-trained team at Lemmon Avenue, however, is intimately familiar with treating darker skin and the specific settings necessary to avoid hyperpigmentation & protect your natural glow.
In the right hands, yes, lasers are effective on nearly every skin type and tone. At Lemmon Ave, we stress the importance of only trusting experienced, highly trained professionals with any kind of laser-based skin treatment. These powerful tools can cause burns or other problems when not used properly.
Laser skin resurfacing works via precise pulses of light energy directed at dead and damaged layers of skin. The light energy converts to heat and, depending upon the specifics of the laser used, can either ablate thin layers of skin, create microdamage to encourage natural healing, or a combination of both.
What makes Lemmon Avenue more than a med spa is our level of expertise and the full suite of cosmetic options available at our medical aesthetics facility. From injections to lasers to plastic surgery, we provide unmatched care and results. Our medical director is a board-certified plastic surgeon, meaning he has specific medical training related to aesthetics, not some unrelated field of medicine.
