A member asked:
I'm going for a laser hair removal coz of thick hair around my chin, will the rays lead to drak skin, or will it help in lightening of skin color?

Shouldn't change: Great question. While patches of darker (hyperpigmentation) and lighter (hypopigmentation) can occur as a result of laser or ipl hair reduction, neither is common and in most cases these treatments will not effect your skin tone - though they will certainly reduce your hair volume.
