Burns
When the energy is too strong for your skin type.
Skin of color deserves its own protectionTreat yourself.
Treat yourself.
We've got the rest.
Book at an Uko Certified medspa, protect your medical aesthetic treatment in one tap, and if anything goes wrong, we handle it. You just handle the mirror.
Why protect your session?
Because laser hair removal on skin of color needs extra care. More melanin means the skin absorbs more of the laser's energy, and settings really matter.
Dark spots
Marks that can take months to fade.
Light spots & scars
Rarer, but sometimes permanent.
“People with darker skin are more prone to burns and hyperpigmentation (dark marks).”
Most sessions go perfectly. Uko is for the day one doesn't.
What's your shade?
Hover over (or tap) your skin type. Dermatologists call this the Fitzpatrick scale.
Your type is always confirmed by a certified practitioner at your medspa.
The skin most devices forgot. Not us.
Many devices were mostly tested on lighter skin. Uko was built for yours first: certified teams, the right settings, and a plan B.

That's a different conversation

Questions?
Love those.
Nope. Uko is a platform: we certify medspas and take care of your protection from start to finish.
It's a small add-on to your treatment, shown clearly at checkout before you pay. No surprises.
Never. It's offered at every session, and you decide every time. Yes, no, maybe next time: all fine.
You report it from your phone with a few guided photos. A partner practitioner sees you within 48 hours, in office or by video, and your care is paid for. No chasing anyone.
Licensed partner practitioners in Texas (dermatologists, nurse practitioners or physician assistants) who know skin of color.
We get it, but that's a different conversation. Uko Protection covers complications like burns, lasting spots, scars or infection, not taste.
