Will these white spots from laser hair removal burning be permanent? Will they repigment?

jody311
I had my legs lasered for the first time on January 17th 2017 and experienced burning from prior sun exposure, its been over 2 months and i'm worried my legs will never be normal again! I took photos after my laser treatment and everyday after until the scabbing healed, then photos weekly until now. I dont see any improvement in these white spots and i have tried fading creams, pigmentation creams, sun exposure to tan the white areas and even my skin out, and nothing seems to change the spots
