I have fair skin, is this hyperpigmentation post laser hair removal? (Photo)

August 1, 2017
Asked By:Karleh in Charlotte, NC

I am doing laser hair removal on my lip and chin. I went to the beach 2 wks after my first tx (I asked my LME if this was ok since it was pre planned) applied SPF 50, 30 min before being outside and hourly and wore a wide brimmed hat, returning often to a sun shelter. I still ended up with one dark spot on my jawline that I believe is PIH (my fear when starting tx). I am supposed to return 12 days after this trip for my 2nd tx of my package and am feeling nervous. Advice? Will this go away?
