Will Laser Resurfacing Make PIH Worse from Prior Laser Resurfacing?

Amanda89
I had laser and the lady burned me. It healed and now the area is darker then the rest of my skin. Since laser resurfacing helps hyperpigmentation, will another laser treatment help or make it worse? Before the first laser i was not advised to use bleaching cream, but now i am a month into using it. I had affirm first and im now looking in to fraxel restore dual with a more reputable doctor.
