My Experience With Laser Hair Removal for Dark Skin (Update!) | Deepica Mutyala 

Thank goodness for a RU-vidr that gets the brown girl struggles!

I've been getting laser hair removal for the past two years on my face. Its a lot better than what it used to be cause you know them Indian genes are super strong, but the hair still comes back, lot thinner and a lot less darker. If I could talk to my younger self I would tell her stop messing with your peach fuzz, it really isn't that big of a deal. Love you and your videos! Keep doing it big for us brown girls!

Thank you for giving us a honest update! You're the only one on youtube that I know of who has a skin tone similar to mine so this information is SO helpful & probs saved me lots of money, pain, distress lol. THX

I have done full face laser 6 years ago, around 12 to 14 sessions...i did get horrible scars, which would take few days to heal..but eventually those thick and coarse hair on chin and neck area were removed completely....but dermatologist did mention they might comeback due to harmonal changes....very recently I started noticing 3 to 4 hair on the neck.my doc said not to bother it could be due to harmonal changes

Omg! Thank you for this video, I have been going back and forth for a year now trying to decide on getting laser hair removal! I am pretty pigmented also, I think I'll give it a try on my body and leave out the face! Burning my face has been my worst fear!!! You are seriously an inspiration!!! Please continue to make these amazing videos, you are greatly appreciated! Love you mucho

great to hear how laser works on darker skin! thats such a common problem when finding a place that does laser- if it will work on different skin types. people forget about us brown girls! thanks for the update and always keeping it real! (this is my entry for the YT giveaway!)

"I Deepica Mutyala am a hairy Indian women" HAHA!! Loveeeee you. South Indian problems?! YES GIRL! #SORELATABLE

deepica is always keeping it brown girl real!!!

Awww, girl I totally feel you! I am hairy too. This sounds crazy but I literally do everything in the book to deal with my facial hair. I bleach my forehead and under my eyebrow, I shave my cheekbones, I epilate the sides of my face and chin and last but not least, I thread my mustache. The only thing I am missing is wax and that hair removing cream I hate lolo I might try laser hair removal when I am older but not right now.

I too am a hairy AF Indian women. I did laser hair removal on my face 10+ years ago and the only part of my face where the hair didn't come back was my side burns and the baby hairs at the top of my forehead. Everything else (cheeks, lip, chin) came back. I've done everything - waxing, threading, creams, etc etc... I find the best hair removal method for my face is shaving. I use a small face shaver for my entire face. Not only does if get rid of the hair, it's a great exfoliater. It's quick, easy, and you don't need to wait around to make a threading appointment.

A boy asked me , why don't you wax your arms like the other girls do. Honestly is it necessary to wax ur arms , arm pits I know it's hygiene but why arms I'm happy the way I am

Yesssssss I have been patiently waiting for this video to drop since I wanted to try it . Come through Deeps as always . I will definitely give it a go for lower body parts . You're da best as always 👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Completely agree with you on not getting it on the face!! I originally bought a package that included the upper lip area but got too nervous about scarring. It's your face!

I love that you keep it real! I had hair on my chin and I did laser hair removal there and it was great! I ended up doing full body later on. I needed more treatments, but I have a lot less hair than I did prior to doing the treatment and I'm so happy with the result! You don't even look like you have facial hair btw

I am hairy as hellllllllll and the same skin colour. I got laser hair removal last year on my face and neck and both times I got burnt. Right after the treatment there were areas of my face and neck that were in unbearable pain but the laser tech said it must've been because I had thicker/more hair in that area and to not worry because it'll subside. Fast forward to the next day, I woke up with soar scabs on my face and neck, I looked like I had been in an accident. I told the tech and she said that it might be my skin reacting to laser for the first time and it shouldn't be as bad the second time but obviously she was wrong. I had burns just as bad the second time and I stopped laser after that. My scars on my face mostly healed but on my neck they didn't. It's a bummer as I'm fairly young (19) and I don't know how long I'll have to go around with shitty scarred skin. Also I'm still hairy and now have to wax which makes my skin break out so it's just a lose lose situation 😩😩😩😩

I'm 47 and was on steroids for 18 years, so I'm hairy! My chin is my Achilles heel!! And my skin is super thin because of the steroids, so waxing is out. I'm at a loss 😞

Hi deepica I did laser n I had no issues . Other people in my family did get burnt . I've never experienced it. The lady that did mine is a real professional . I had very hairy arm pits n dark hairy upper lips omg . They are finally gone . I can hardly believe it . It was worth the pain n the money

Still remember the salmon colored lipstick trick and it was ground breaking for my dark circles. I love you not only bc your makeup tips and videos are awesome but bc your so inspiring and love your motivation especially on your Instastories. Keep rocking

I REALLY appreciate your honesty!!

I had laser hair removal on my upper leg and extended bikini, which was a little bit in to where the underwear would be. It hurt so much!!! It felt like a sharp sting every time she zapped me. But, there is hardly or no hair growth on my upper leg. My extended bikini area has less hair as well. I do still have ingrown hair on my thighs and I am working to get rid of that now. I got laser hair removal like ten years ago.

I love your honest update. Videos like these make me feel less alone. Struggle is real for us brown girls.I would break out viciously after my threading and waxing sessions.Tria hair removal has been the only method that doesn't make me break out.Thanks for making this video Deepica. Your so close to 99k. Congratulations in advance.Your #Snapchatfam is routing for you.

Yessss girl so close to 100k!!! One of my friends actually lasered pretty much the main areas - armpits, face, legs, arms but all her hair grew back when she got pregnant! Not as dark but it still came back. I'm sticking to threading/shaving/waxing for the time being lol 😅😅😅

The brown girl struggle is so real!!!! I'm way too scared to experiment on my face esp since I still use acne treatments so I've stuck to the painful threading solution 😭

Hi Deepica! I'm also a Hairy AF Indian woman and have been waxing/threading since I was 11 (!!) and lasering since I was 17. I hated the black spots and ingrown hairs I used to get with shaving and waxing. I'm 30 now so it's been a long time! I have thick dark hair on very fair skin, so lasering is "supposed" to be perfect for me. My experience: worked beautifully on my legs! I shave like once every two months and even that's just like very thin and sparse. Everywhere else it's been the 80/20 rule. The hair growth is definitely less and thinner, the pores aren't visible anymore and I don't get ingrown hairs, but the hair itself isn't not gone by any means. I maintain it (go in twice a year to do the whole body/face) and then thread and sugar otherwise. 💕

Yay for the update and being candid about scars and your concerns when it comes to skin type and lasering your face:)

This was a video I def needed! As another hairy Indian woman, I've been thinking about getting laser hair removal but I get hyperpigmentation that lasts for forever. Plus using tretinoin cream has made everything except threading impossible on my sensitive skin. Thank you for such an honest video and one that relates to all darker skinned girls. #snapfam

I use the tinkle eyebrow razors and literally "shave" my face! It works like a charm, and is easy and painfree. Never had an issue with the dark "peach" fuzz on my face growing back thicker! My skin is smooth af every single time!

Hi! I totally understand the laser scaring issue. My skin is mid toned, and I am also very prone to scaring and pigmentation. I got those cryo circle pigmentations on my upper arms, so they couldn't continue the treatment. I opted to move my treatment to my legs and sometimes I got superficial burns and cryo circles that eventually disappeared. Its frustrating because I want to do my face, but I know I will pigment and so for now I live with a hairy face, until a better removal method comes along.

Thanks for your honest update and review of your laser hair removal experience. I also scar easily so I think I'll stick to waxing. Not worth the risk!

You are now my go-to person for all things beauty! So glad to have found you. I'm hoping to find a good deal on laser in NYC so I can get it done on my arms/legs!

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I've been considering Laser hair removal for a while now and I wasn't a sub when you'd posted your previous video about it so this really helps ♥️

I got laser hair removal done on my arms and legs and it was definitely a worthwhile investment, but im way too much of a wimp to get anything done on my face rip

Hey im your color and Indian and I'm going through the soprano ice treatment and from my first session itself I've got such great results...

And I'm darker than you! I guess I'll stick to waxing & threading BUT I'll keep my eye out on your laser hair removal adventures for other parts like underarms! Thank you!!

Hi Deepica! I absolutely love your videos and honestly they're a god send because there are soo many beauty products out there to try but being brown skinned, i've always felt limited in my color schemes for lipsticks and eyeshadows. you however taught me to overcome that and showed me that I can pull off anything and that skin color should not be a restriction (whether in makeup or conquering the world). I think you are so so inspiring! Being brown and from a traditional family, I thought the life of a Carrie Bradshaw is far out of reach but because of you I have learnt that it is not as far as i thought. You are amazing and you keep doing you. Rock on girl! P.S. Ive been wanting to get lasered for so long but there wasnt enough research i could do online on effects on brown skin! but because of you, even thats covered! THANK YOU!

Such great insight on laser!! Tbh I've been considering it but SO freaked out by stories I see online and can't tell what's real or not!!!

Thank you for being honest. This is a great informative video.

Thanks for giving us the update .. I always thought of laser hair removal for my upper lip but now won't do it ... I scar easily too.. thanks again !!

Yessss been waiting for this video forever! I've been so curious about this 🤔

I did laser hair removal on my armpits & bikini line and was really happy with the results. I would be a little scared to do it on my face. But my skin tone is light and my hair is dark.

Love your channel!!! Has me jealous of the NYC life all the time - keep at it and keep us all updated ❤️❤️

Is pelo the same as the YAG system? The YAG laser had worked pretty well for areas with thicker hair (legs). Thanks for the info!!!!

Love and needed this video!!! I love ur enthusiasm for life and joy for family! Keep that hustle girl, you're killing the game!❤️❤️❤️

Her honesty just made me subscribe hahah 😂💛 I’m actually on a treatment too, but I had to stop because I’m on acutane atm. The laser seemed to have worked on my mum but I’m much browner than her and it doesn’t seem to work for me, I’ve done 4 sessions almost without change ahhhh

thank you so much for this video!! your first video on laser hair removal got me to consider getting it done, but i wanted to wait till I was older. but now, i think I'll stick to threading LOL ty deepica :)

I tried it and it didn't work for me at all. My hair was gone for MAYBE a year but then it grew back like normal. Super frustrating, especially for all the pain you go through for it. Definitely sticking to waxing and threading!!

Thank you for this!! I have always been back and forth between whether or not I want to get laser. This definitely helps me narrow it down to what areas are good-to-go for laser and which are not! Also #threading all the freakin way!!

Deepica thanks for updating us on your own personal experiences n exposure to laser therapy!! Yas it's not more everyone!! As a woc I personally like my spots n marks that God gave me especially!! But to be burned no thanks n scar even more that frightens me!! To each his/her own!! Expensive as well!! Your gorgeous!! Much luv n God bless you and your family hugs 🤗 🙂❤️😍🌹🙇🏾👼🏾🙏🏾

This is only the second video of yours that I watched and I like you so much already!!! Just subscribed, you're great :)

Thanks so much for an honest opinion!!! It's hard being a brown girl that closely resembles Chewbacca! I keep threading my hair but always wondered about laser hair removal. Thanks for being awesome!!!

this is so not the point of the video but please tell me what Foundation you're wearing in this video because your skin looks amazing!!

Oh god, as a brown girl i was so self conscious. I might try it! Thanks for your insight!

Ohhhhh.. fortunately I never got burnt but I don't think it worked so well because I have hormone issue that it did not make any difference.. 😞😞 so I just dropped the idea of laser and threading is the only thing that works for me..

Yayyy snapfam! Loved this video!

Congratulations on 100K! Thank you for creating RU-vid tutorials that are by far my favorite! #snapchatfam

I got laser on my legs and armpits and it is the best thing i have done in my adult life. I only have to shave my legs once a month and I never shave my armpits anymore!

ha! I have the same pigmentation problem. Thank you for the update.

you are really fun to listen to ....i enjoy your videos a lot...u rock..thanks for the update

Best friend here woohooo! Love this, love you!!! And yes I'm subscribed to alllllll ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for doing this video! I've been considering doing laser hair removal and this video was very helpful! Heart you!❣️

Im getting laser done with the Soprano Ice Platinum, it uses 3 wavelength, shallow medium and deep to be more efficient. Try it, Im dark like you and it didn't do anything to me.

I'm about to do my first ever laser hair removal treatment on my face! I'm super nervous but also excited because of mixed reviews, but you look great per usual!! 😍

Was this IPL? Have you tried that? I have the Philips lumea which is good. Love the honest review xxx

Appreciate your honesty and update on the journey 👍🏽😉. My cousins did electrolysis for their face and neck and they loved their results 👍🏽. I did a couple chemical peels a year ago and now I have more peach fuzz on the sides of my face! So annoying! Honestly I'm not even going to bother with it bc only I can really see/feel it!

It's all good Deeps because you are so beautiful❣You know how to care for your skin and only you can call the best shots for it. I am super glad you didn't get obvious scarring on your beautiful face. Thanks for the update & for keeping it real (And that's why I subscribe to you & will be your loyal follower for as long as you allow us). Love you Deeps❣

Am in Australia and laser hair removal for the face or any area is awesome! I guess it depends where you get it done!

I have been doing for a few years now, I found that on my face it didn't really work but on the rest of my body, it has been amazing and now I don't need to remove hair from my legs or underarms etc ever!! Just on the face I had like 12 sessions and tbh I stopped in December last year and all hair has come back, so it didn't work. Might just go back to bleaching - laser used was the Yag btw! It works best on super dark thick hairs like legs or bikini etc. Which it has!!! If anyone has any advice for facial hair, please hit me up!

Love this video and all the honest opinons! It's always hard to find an honest opinion about brown girls having laser hair removal done

Hey guys, have you ever considered that if you stopped collectively subscribing to Eurocentric beauty standards and specifications, you could just stop shaving your natural hair or altering your natural look And everything would be fine

Deepica you are such a ray of light! thank you for your kindness! it's hard to find but you have such a beautiful soul! #snapchatfam ❤

Girl. Soprano Ice laser hair removal. LOOK.IT.UP.

Nice video. Which laser was used and how many sittings did it take?

I've been doing laser with a nice lady on my Brazilian and under arms to start and oh boy is it working. Im darker than most of her clients so she takes it really easy and uses low levels so I dont burn. Its going to take a number of sessions more and its already been over a year but im happy with her, her price, and the results. I dont think i will ever get my face done, I only really care about my upper lip and im fine managing it the old fashioned way. I'm too scared to try my face.

Aww I'm sorry it didn't work out! :( But thank you for being real with us always

This is so real! I've been doing laser for almost 3 years and still here.....like can a girl live?! brown girls struggles 24/7, thanks for the honesty

Thanks for this video , because I'm currently in a laser removal treatment :)

As a trans Indian woman... I'm hairy af. In the UK we have something called the saprano ice laser which works really well for me, I come from a punjabi heritage so I have a lighter brown skin tone and it works a little better on my skin, have it on my face at the moment but will definitely go full body! xo

I have the legit same struggles- south indian hair AF scar easily and i have all sorts of crazy pigments on my face. I've been curious about lasers but also have wondered if I should just accept my skin for what it is instead of torturing it haha. Struggles.

Thanks for your honest opinion and sharing your experience! Love that you're not afraid to talk about or share anything. Would you try electrolysis? #snapfam

you bring in so much positivity always :) Lots of love :)

Was the laser hair removal that painful? Or was it just the scarring? I don't blame you not one bit for not wanting to take that risk. Your skin looks beautiful and being so active on tv and every media outlet, it is important to keep your skin clear. I don't know why we have to hide that hair grows anywhere else than our eyebrows. Xoxoxoxo

Had to give you guys a quick update!!! Another video posting later today of my Htown meet and greet - enjoy xoxo!!!!

I am just so scared to experiment on my face 😌 I just do threading. 😁 ❤️ you pandu deepica.

How many sessions did you have to do for all the hair to be gone on your body??

Can't wait for your video with your ammamma! Grandma's are extra amazing

Thank you so much for this! This video was really helpful

Thank you for your honest feedback always!! Always interested to learn about ppls true experiences with laser hair removal. Thanks for keeping it real! Love your videos! #snapchatfam

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!! Hahaha as of now, I only use face bleach but I have been thinking of getting laser treatments--starting with underarms soon.

Thank you so much for such a geniune review

you are the best youtuber ever !

how did your hair grow back after shaving face (curious)

I been wanting to try this! Did the removal help with the acne? Loveee your vlogs!

Wait? Are you doing laser hair removal on your body? Is the scar on your back from the laser hair removal? I want to start it for my body but nervous it will damage my skin

Thank you so much for being so honest!!!

I have wanted to try this for sometime but didnt known if it work on me BC of my darker Indian skin tone... I'm Telegu as well and you can see the dark hair follicles on my thighs 😩 Ummm...the scaring sucks...Now I will just stick to sugaring and threading for the face. Thanks for the update...Love your videos Deepica🙌

#snapfam I have been wanting to try laser hair removal but was very scared because I do have darker skin!!! But this was very helpful! Thanks!!

thanks for the update, super helpful!

I have been getting laser hair removal on my underarms for quite some time now, and I feel like I have gotten 12+ treatments but I still have to go back every 3 months or so....do you think it's still worth at this point? Thanks for giving us an update! #snapfam

Thank you for the update!!! ❤️

I'm too scared to do laser hair removal but eventually I'll try it. But I'm so self conscious about the hair on my stomach (it's not thick or anything) and the hair on my lip. What I do is use Nair or pluck them usually I find that the easiest if your at a small price range. Hair has always been a hassle for me when it comes to my lip, eyebrows, and my stomach. I was thinking of trying NoNo but idk if it works well or not.
