ASLMS Task Forces

Skin of Color Task Force

ASLMS is aware that the country’s demographics are changing and that light-based devices can have more risk or have different safety concerns for skin of color patients. Because of this, ASLMS brought together a multidisciplinary group to better understand what we can do to mitigate these obstacles.
