I Had a IPL Treatment with Sciton 5 Days Ago. Burned? (photo)

It appears that your BBL treatment was aggressive.  In situations like this, I would place a patient on an antiviral medication (Valtrex) because fever blisters can arise from virtually any treatment around the mouth.  Conservative treatment with vaseline, avoidance of sun exposure, and reassurance should allow for very acceptable healiong

The best advice is to return to the office that treated you and have a follow up by the MD in charge. It is very difficult to properly diagnose with a picture, and proper documentation needs to be in place for the most effective treatment plan for you going forward. With proper care, the burns should resolve with no long term adverse effects.

 

The Sciton is an amazing laser and treatment system, when the hands of a well-trained technician. I'm very sorry you had a poor experience. I wish you the nest of luck!

 

Pictures are not adequate to assess your skin changes.  Could be bruising, infection like staph or HSV, excoriation, or exuberant lentigo reaction.  It needs to be seen in person.  

Yes, those appear to be burns. Definitely keep them moist; this will help the healing process. I would definitely contact your treating office and ask to be seen. Not because I'm worried about long-term damage or side effects right now, but just so they can see, in person, that your setting was entirely too high, and if they go up in settings, as is normal for treatments, you are going to have severe, possible scarring. So call and make an appointment for an evaluation asap. And keep the areas moist, and use sunscreen!
