Will hyperpigmentation go away after microneedling on fair skin?

December 18, 2017
Asked By:oneintheweb in Colorado Springs, CO

I am a 44 yr old blonde, pale skinned woman. I've never had hyperpigmentation. I had Microneedling with PRP 3 weeks ago and I now have large dark patches around my chin and mouth (always a sensitive area for me). The clinic says they'll go away with more treatments and bleaching agents, but I don't see that backed up online. They say the pigmentation just has to come to the surface and then be exfoliated away. Is that right? Never had issues with dark patches before!
