Are Laser Hair Removal Burns Permanent? (photo)

Complications can occur with any laser hair removal treatment, regardless of the device. Swelling of the hair follicle and redness are normal occurrences after the procedure. It's important to avoid excessive and direct sun exposure right after the treatment for about a week. Be sure to work with your dermatologist about the best way to address your particular situation. 

 

I have no idea what kind of laser hair removal device could cause those marks. All the laser hair removal machines I've ever seen have bars, not round tips. That being said, aloe vera will not help if you have burns on your skin. You need to get a prescription hydrocortisone and a topical steroid and need to apply them liberally after cool water, a few times a day. Burns are usually darker and more brown, not red and swollen, so you could possibly have been treated at too high of settings but actually avoided a burn and got edema and erythema instead. But again, I'm concerned about the laser used because I've never seen a shape like that.
