Is Alexandrite Laser + suitable for darker skin tones in regards to facial hair removal?

Ann_Man
Hello I have medium skin color which gets darker in the summer. I have hairs all over my face but they are thin and not too dark.I've had 10 laser sessions for my upper lip+haven't experienced skin damages or discoloration.I'm thinking of having my whole face hairs removed with alexandrite laser+I want to ask you:Is it suitable for darker skin or will it leave me with discolorations?is it possible that since I'm not fair that my hairs will start growing darker and multiple?What should I ask them?
