Skin Darkening from Laser Hair Removal

Bahamas3074
I have had several laser hair removal treatments for facial hair, and have noticed that my face has been getting darker. Even though I am of a darker complexion I have never gotten any burns. But recently my face seems much darker and uneven. Is there anything that I can use to help even out and lighten the darker areas?
