Does the Tyndall effect occur in African American skin?

dolleyes
I want to get restylane in my tear troughs. I have heard that sometimes the under eye skin can take on a blue tint. Is there a risk of this happening in African American skin as well? I have quite thick under eye skin (mid 20s), and fitzpatrick type V skin pigmentation.
