There is hope

Some very dark-skinned individuals can respond very well to treatment, but unfortunately, some do develop significant lighter skin permanently, or temporary (months to years) of darkening. A test spot should be done first to test your pigment response. This can be done behind the ear so that if the reaction is not favorable it would not be seen on your face. If that test works well, then a second test can be done on the face prior to treating the whole face. If the test shows a poor response, then you wouldn’t have the treatment, but if both tests produce a good result it doesn’t guarantee that you wouldn’t have a problem when the whole face is treated. Schedule a consultation with a physician who has significant experience in acne resurfacing. Don’t give up, see a few consultations and don’t rush in. Learn as much as you can first. There is hope.
