I have so many patients who have dark skin and are left with acne scars.  You must be very careful as most lasers can cause hyperpigmentation with your skin type. Please consult a physician who has experience with the eMatrix laser.  After a series of treatments your scars will be reduced and rejuvenated.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green
