Burns & Blisters from Laser Hair Removal

All blister healing advice previously was correct, the only other thing I would note is to be sure to let the office know what significant burns you had, this is not a "normal" result of laser hair removal if done correctly.  It looks like the settings were not correct for your skin type/tone.  Only go to trained physicians for any laser treatment. 

It is very important, with any adverse effect, that you go back to the doctor/clinic that did this treatment.  Lasers are hot devices and anyone who has used them has experienced this at one time or another.  Perhaps your legs were a little tanned and so the setting became too high.  Please discuss this with the person who did the treatment and have them help you take care of it.  The blisters may pop on their own, but don't peel off the roof overlying the area, as that is a natural "dressing" for the skin underneath.  Aloe vera, especially from the plant, but if not, then in a gel from the store, is very good for burns. 

This may result in some pigmentation, although most of the time, it will resolve.  You may use some bleaching creams after the wounds have healed.  The legs take a while to resolve, in terms of pigmentation, so you will need to be very patient.  It can be more than a year.  Good luck. 

These are definitely burns. To treat them, do not pop them, allow the new skin to heal underneath the blister.  If they pop on their own, apply aquaphor healing ointment to any open, raw areas. You should see a physician soon to see if you need antibiotic ointment or pills. Keep your legs out of the sun until totally healed, and once the blisters heal, wear SPF 30 every day to help avoid hyperpigmentation. If you do get pigment problems, you can be treated with Hydroquinone. Hair removal lasers can easily burn patients if used by an inexperienced physician, especially if the patient is dark-skinned or tan. There are hair removal lasers that are safer in dark skin types, so you should discuss this complication with an expert in lasers to prevent it from happening again.
