Can people with dark skin tones be treated for scars?

I've got scares that are over 10 years old can they still be treated?

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.
