Hypopigmentation from chemical. Can I get melanocytes back in these areas and if so, how?

Jeanlynne
My hair stylist used bleach to lighten my hair, which I requested not to. She left the hair dye as it was processing on my face and bleached my face. Can I get melanocytes back in these areas and if so, how? I was thinking laying out in the sun which stimulates melanin production. Maybe it would stimulate melanocytes enough to regain my natural color. Is this possible?
