Yes, you can get laser resurfacing done, but choose your doctor very carefully and do not be afraid to ask if they have worked on African-Americans before. Also make sure they have the laser appropriate for your skin to avoid scarring.
BTW, despite the knee-jerk reactions of some people, skin is not just skin. The skin of African-Americans is indeed different in many ways. That does not make you a racist or conspiracy theorist if you acknowledge this, so her question is very valid.

This is a very good anti-aging program I'm following: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=547
it's developed by Steve and Becky Holman and it's 100% natural: no drugs, no supplements, no gimmick. They teach how to slow the aging process. There are specific ways to move, eat and think that tell your brain to stop and even reverse the aging process. There are also things they you absolutely have to avoid if you really want to look younger and achieve your ideal body. More info on the site.
I hope it helps

Black, White, Blue, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Purple, Red ... it's all skin. Doesn't matter what the color is. Laser skin treatment will work on any color of skin.

Oh good God. Are you trying to suggest that science is "racially profiling" now too? Yes hun. You are allowed by the laws of science to have a procedure done regardless of you heritage. btw, thanks for the promotion of continued racism. YOU SUCK.
