Laser hair removal uses a process called selective photothermolysis Heat from a laser destroys cells that have a lot of pigment Dark hair (black, brown) has a lot of pigment, and it absorbs the heat induced by the laser. Hair transfer heat to the hair follicles and destroys them, so the hair follicles get destroyed and there will be no hair growth.
