4keya, First off, yes, it is possible to perform laser hair removal on patients with darker skin types, such as yours.However, the reason you have been told that you cannot do laser hair removal is because lasers carry a much higher risk of burning and potentially hyper-pigmenting the skin of darker-skinned patients. New lasers, such as our LightSheer Duet laser claim to be able to treat a wider variety of skin types, such as yours, however, the treatment settings would have to be greatly reduced in order to ensure your safety (you wouldn't want to walk away from a cosmetic treatment with any sort of unsightly scarring!). Because of this, you may not get the most effective treatment.
