After a whole body laser epilation, I've noticed that I got several burns, that look like scars, on the shaft of my penis. The aesthetic doctor didn't change the setting of the laser machine during the whole session, which is probably why the penis (which is darker) got the burns.

Is this something permanent in your opinion or will this heal
