Is the Palomar 500 Dangerous for Dark Skinned People?

Montreal5242
Hi, I have an appointment for laser hair removal treatment. But I am scared of getting burned, I called up the clinic to see what kind of laser they used on dark skins and they said the Palomar 500. So I did some research but couldn't find much details on how effective it is on dark skin. Can you please reassure me or let me know if I shouldn't go through with the treatment. Thanks
