A member asked:
Can people with vitiligo get laser hair removal?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: It would depend on the color of the hair in contrast to the skin. Light hair is harder to treat with the laser.

Yes: But it may not be effective because most lasers target the pigment in the hair follicle.
