Laser hair removal for fine dark hair? (Photo)

Eryn_
I've debated getting laser hair removal and have recently decided to save up to get laser done on my arms/armpits, legs, and eventually bikini area. I'm extremely pale (from my dads Northern European side) and have hair all over my body from course thick hair to slightly lighter fine hairs on my chest, back, stomach, upper arms/thighs (from my Mexican moms side). Could this be removed effectively or are those types of hairs to thin and small? These are close up flash pictures for reference.
