Will Laser Treatment Cause Anything To NLD Area?

I have Necrobiosis Lipodica Diabeticorum on my right shin. It is not active, not ulcerated, not sore at all just brownish red in colour. I am going to have laser hair removal soon on my legs, will the laser do anything to the NLD area? Make it worse etc?
Thanks

You dont have to worry as laser treatment wont make necrobiosisis lipoidica worse as you have already mentioned that the area is inacive with no infection or ulceration. So can easily go for hair removal sessions with laser.
