Do I Need to Use Hydroquinone on my Skin Before Using Fraxel Laser Skin?

findalison
I have light colored but olivey skin and was putting hydroquinone in my skin for about a month. My first treatment begins tomorrow by I lost the ointment I was using and have been off of it for about a week. Should I cancel the appointment? And will the lasers really affect my skin badly if I haven't been using
