Don't forget the tried and true method for dark skinned people or very light colored hair... Electrolysis! It may have gone out of favor as laser is more profitable as business, cool factor and potentially a bit faster outcome.
Laser should be done cautiously even by a professional, especially on the facial due to risk for burns. Even a home system like Tria that I have gets very hot and the deep follicles definitely get crazy hot in the shaft and root the 1st and 2nd time they are hit with the light. I saw a special where someone got tanned and the tech didn't reset her profile and the laser ended up causing 3rd degree burns and permanent scars on her upper lip. At least the tria has an activator and I constantly keep scanning my skin when moving around a lasering session.
