How to remove darkening after laser hair removal on Asian skin? (Photo)

Lalisa777
My 3rd laser hair removal session was extra painful and was itchy and burning for several days afterwards, which hadn't ever happened before. My skin in that area (Brazilian) is now much darker. What is it (is it PIH?) and how do I restore the color back to its original state?
