Is It Normal for Freckles to Turn Darker After Laser Hair Removal?

Giselle2912
I had my first treatment of Laser hair removal on my upper lip and chin yesterday. I have noticed that the freckles on above my lip and chin have gone much darker, and now are a very dark brown. Is this normal, and will it fade?
