Not necessarily. Monobenzone does have the ability to completely depigment your skin, but truth be told, it also has the ability to be used gradually to promote skin lightening rather than complete depigmentation. Monobenzone is not a 'magic whitener', it merely stresses your melanocytes to major points, while at the same time decreasing melanin excretion. In this way, it slowly depigments (in otherwords, lightens) rather than instantly.
Also, note that Monobenzone does not guarantee depigmented skin, unless you were to have vitiligo in which case it is still not guaranteed. Your skin has the ability to produce more melanocytes should any be damaged from Monobenzone. It's of this very reason that using an inhibitor with it increases prolonged results.
Contact with UV rays will increase the chance for repigmentation of course, and because Monobenzone is directly absorbed, you may experience slight lightening within other portions of course skin.
