Hi. Sorry to hear what you are going through. I had ipl laser hair removal done years ago all over my legs And had 1st-3rd degree burns over every inch of my legs and had the same exact boxes/circles every where for almost 3 years. They did eventually fade And are now completely gone but surprisingly enough what helped facilitate the scar evening was actually getting a nice deep tan every 6-8 months. Oddly - this started to even out my skin tone exponentially and the blotches began fading dramatically each time tan wore off. This might sound unconventional but this is what helped me. I avoided skirts/shorts for years and it severely affected my confidence. Good luck to you. Also avoid getting this procedure if you've recently had a tan and do not wear creme/lotion or use oil based soap for at least 24 hours before any laser procedure.
