"   Question I have hair growing round my areola.  Would laser hair removal get rid of the hair, or would it result in a melanin disorder or even cancer?  I am of mixed racial origin (Black and Asian) so I am not sure if I should go ahead.   Answer  As you probably know, people from certain races inherit a tendency to have more body hair than others, but this is a normal and attractive characteristic of their origin.  It is not, in other words, a disorder or a disease.  Your desire to remove these hairs around the dark skin of the nipples is understandable and laser treatment would be eminently suitable as a means of achieving this.  A laser is particularly effective for darker hair, as the increased pigment in the darker hair is much more easily dealt with by certain wavelengths of laser light.  Alternative methods such as plucking can be painful and temporary. Electrolysis is the only other permanent method of hair removal and may not be so effective on coarser hair.  Laser treatment is entirely safe when used in experienced hands. It does not produce melanin disorders or cancer.  Make sure you go to a centre of excellence with an established reputation and do make sure you find out the full cost first.
