Will fraxel laser or microneedling improve hypopigmentation caused by multiple tattoo removal treatments? (photo)

Asked By:SummerDaysDrifting in Los Angeles, CA

Had approximately 15-20 on treatments on the forearm. There is hyper and hypopigmentation and well as a couple of raised areas that don't seem to blend with the surrounding skin. I've tried many things such as Silicon Scar Sheets, Chemical Peels, and Retin-A. All have helped, but the hypo-pigmentation seems to be the main issue.*Update - photos added on 5/22/17
