When Can I Use Hydroquinone 4%?

Mary Ann in NY
I had a fraxel C02 laser procedure on 12/23/11. I still have some discoloration on the left side of my face (the procedure did make it lighter). How long do I have to wait to use hydroquinone 4%? Will the hydroquninone get rid of this discoloration? Thank you, Mary Ann
