What are the complications African Americans face with laser tattoo removal? Is there a type of laser that has low risk of hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation in African Americans?

The Medlite is a very common laser for tattoo removal because it has the ability to do multiple colors. It is my personal observation, based on the coverups we do over lasered African American skin, is that hypopigmentation can occur with any laser.
I would be sure the doctor has done a fair amount of this type of laser work and can produce some pictures of healed tattoo removals. If it is your desire to have the skin return to its normal, pristine, virgin apearance, that is going to be hard to do.

The best source for information on laser tattoo removal is the University of California at Davis. They pioneered the process and are the definitive authorities on the subject.

No, that would be Harvard.
