Will These Burn Marks from LHR Heal Without Scarring? (photo)

October 25, 2011
Asked By:alteregoinc in Chicago, Illinois

I was on my 8th laser treatment when my treating MD increased the energy from 25J to 30J with a Gentlelase Alexandrite laser. I received burns on my back where the treatments were delivered. My worry is permanent scarring, hypo/hyper-pigmentation to my back. The attached photo is 24 hours after the treatment was performed. I will apply aloe vera gel & neosporin to the burn sites. What are other creams to speed up healing? Hopefully these are only superficial burns.
