Hispanics/Latinos are one of the fastest growing segments in the skin of color population in the United States. Utilization of lasers especially in people with skin of color requires a thorough understanding of laser physics and laser tissue interactions. In this article, we will outline the different lasers used in our practice based on each chromophore. Pretreatment recommendations as well as management of complications will also be shortly discussed. Our goal is for the readers to grasp the importance of proper device selection, understand the concept of selective photothermolysis, and the various treatment parameters required for optimal safety and efficacy.
