Does SmartLipo or CoolLipo work on people with darker skin?

Since most laser treatments are not for all skin types, I was wondering if Smart lipo or Cool lipo treatments work on people with dark skin.

Both the Smart Lipo and Cool Lipo are "color blind" and can be used on all skin types, ages, shapes and colors. In fact, using either the Smart Lipo or Cool Lipo when performing liposuction minimizes any difference among people with different body types.

Many men and African-Americans have a tougher and more fibrosed fat that may be more difficult to shape/sculpt with standard liposuction techniques. The use of either the Smart Lipo or Cool Lipo minimizes any difference.
