Unfortunately, white ink probably won’t give you the results you’re looking for, as it will be very hard if not impossible to match your skin tone. However because of how light the tattoo is there’s a good chance it will respond fairly well to a laser removal treatment.

Yes, hypopigmentation can be improved with fraxel and/or microneedling+prp. You will likely need a series of treatments to see the desired results. Consult with board-certified and experienced physician.
