DermRays has unveiled the V6S, a home-use laser hair removal system operating at a wavelength of 1,064 nm, specifically designed for individuals with dark skin tones. This innovative device is touted as a first-of-its-kind solution that addresses the challenges faced by traditional laser hair removal methods, which often fall short for darker skin. Such methods can pose risks like burns and hyperpigmentation.
“Our mission at DermRays has always been to make advanced skin care technology accessible and inclusive,” says Dr. Yang Lin, CEO of DermRays. Dr. Lin has a rich background, having worked with some of the world’s leading laser companies, including Spectra-Physics, Osram, nLight, and DILAS.
“With the V6S, we are breaking barriers and setting new standards in the industry. This device is not just a product; it’s a testament to our commitment to innovation and inclusivity,” he adds. DermRays unveils a laser hair removal device tailored specifically for dark skin tones, addressing a critical gap in the market.
Traditional laser hair removal techniques can be particularly risky for individuals with dark skin, often resulting in burns and hyperpigmentation. Unlike other skin tones that benefit from clinic-grade home devices, dark-skinned users have historically had limited and less effective options. The V6S laser’s wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, effectively targeting hair follicles while preserving the integrity of the surrounding tissue. This technology, commonly used in professional settings, ensures a “safer and more effective” hair removal experience for those with dark skin tones.
The V6S device delivers “professional-grade” results in just 15 minutes for full-body treatments, making it a convenient option for users.
DermRays also plans to expand its market presence to Germany, Italy, and Spain, further promoting its innovative solutions for diverse skin tones.

In other recent advancements toward inclusive beauty, Noma Sana has launched the Silk Tress Hair Straightener. This “first-of-its-kind” hair straightener is designed specifically for Afro, curly, coily, and textured hair types, which the company believes are often overlooked by mainstream manufacturers.
L’Oréal Paris has also introduced its latest innovation, Colorsonic. After ten years of development and incubation, Colorsonic is a “first-of-its-kind” at-home hair color device that caters to “all hair types, lengths, and textures,” boasting over 29 patents.
On the formulation front, Seppic recently published findings that support the applicability of its Aquaxyl ingredient in providing inclusive solutions for skin hydration.
