Hypopigmentation on Upper Lip from Laser Hair Removal is It Most Likely Permanent?

gstar11
had laser hair removal and down the line noticed my upper lip paler than the rest of my face. It's been a while and it seems to not tan when im exposed to the sun...could this be permanent by the way the hair still grows.
