ShortWave Diathermy & Hyperpigmentation

2017-03-17 12:20:49
I'm an asian woman with fair skin and family history of hyperpigmentation. I'.m 21 y.o and already got a lil bit hyperpigmentation on my cheeks. Recently, i was diagnosed with Sinusitis, and start my Short Wave Diathermy Therapy a couple days ago. Will Short Wave Diathermy cause Hyperpigmentation? And if it does (God forbid) what can i do to prevent or minimalize the effect?
