Yes. While lasers are riskier with darker skin, there are several options for scars for any skin tone.

It depends on what type of scar is present. Generally speaking, it does not matter what skin type you have, there is usually some form of surgical or laser scar revision available for you. The specifics depend on the type of scars you have.
