Are the dark spots that developed on my skin following electrolysis permanent?
More than likely, electrolysis was responsible for this hyperpigmentation (darken areas), and may have been intensified by too much sun exposure following treatment. These dark spots are rarely permanent, but they are long lasting. Dermatological treatment may likely involve hydroquinone, which is found in 2% concentrations in over-the-counter “fade creams” and may be acceptable for less severe cases.
