Significantly Burned with Diode Lightsheer Lazer 5 Days Ago? (photo)

Hi. Please could you assist me with any advice possible in treating these burns. I went for lazer hair removal approximately 5 days ago in South Africa using the diode lightsheer and my legs all the way up my thighs have been severly burnt. I was advised to use zam buk until the blisters heal and then to start using bio oil. However I am extremely worried that my legs are going to be scarred and have many marks? How could i minimise the scarring? will microdermabrasion help? PLEASE HELP!!!

Laser hair

From the pictures posted, it seems that the power of the laser was set too high for you. It also looks that you probably will heal with no scars, however there might be some hyperpigmentation that will need treatment. Then, change the place where you had your laser hair to a place where the physician, dermatologist or plastic surgeon will do the laser hair. You might pay a little more, but it is safer than the person you have now
