Is the ND: YAG laser safe for South Asian skin?

Asked By:Tasteful278108 in England, United Kingdom

Hello, I'm a South Asian woman who is currently looking for treatments for broken veins on my face. They're on the mild side but I don't want them because they're blue in colour. I'm aware that South Asians (Indian/Bengali/Pakistani and Sri Lankan) are prone to hyperpigmentation. I have hypermobility so my skin bruises and cuts easily. Would a patch test be appropriate first before going ahead with the procedure? Also, is it safe for Asian skin? Thank you to the doctors who'll answer this.
