Likely fine: Vitiligo is simply a condition where you no longer make pigment in the affected areas. I don't see how this simple procedure would do anything to aggravate or otherwise effect the area involved. Your cosmetologist may have some reservations about the procedure but I can't think of a reason to avoid it if you want it.
