I need a doctor to help me and my daughter after laser hair removal

marisol.pradoMay 8, 2018
We had laser hair removal in Juarez. The first few sessions looked fine. After my 5th or 6th session my skin got very wrinkly, it looks much different, and it always looks dry. Mine is worse than my daughters. Please help me. I’m desperate. I’m emebrassed to show my legs now. I don’t want to point it out to my daughter. Please help me. What should I apply? Any help? I’m afraid this is permanent damage. My legs look very wrinkly. It does not go away.
