Laser Hair Removal / Discoloration on Bikini Area from Sun Exposure

March 24, 2011
Asked By:belujole

I have already gone in for a couple sessions of laser hair removal on my bikini area. I decided to use a tanning bed to tan but forgot to wear a bathing suit bottom to cover the area. The next day, I noticed some discoloration down there, with some areas appearing lighter than others. I was wondering if this discoloration, which was likely caused by a combination of laser hair removal and sun exposure, is permanent. If not, how can I reverse the discoloration?
