Are the laser epilation burns on my penis permanent? (photos)

May 3, 2018
Asked By:Kay Burn in Germany, DE

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. I've contacted my doctor and the issue is currently evaluated. The burns were blue at the begin (first two-four hours) and now they're turning black. Is this something permanent in your opinion or will this heal
