Will These Burns from Laser Hair Removal Scar my Face Permanently? (photo)

I hope by now that you are seeing significant improvement  in the darks marks you experienced after your laser hair removal treatment.   At this point, any crusting that you may have experienced has likely sloughed off.   If you are now seeing tan/brown marks in the burned areas, you could benefit from a lightening agent containing hydroquinone.  However, if you are seeing hypopigmentation, or skin lighter than the surrounding areas, you need to be patient and hopeful.  Hypopigmentation tends to be more difficult to rectify than hyperpigmentation.  Regardless of the type of discoloration that you are experiencing post laser hair removal, it is crucial to not leave your home or office without applying a broad spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of an SPF of 30.  My personal preference is to use a physical sunscreen with zinc oxide present in at least the 4% range.  Good luck to you and have a wonderful wedding.

Given your treatment was only two days ago, these may not be spots of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation but rather superficial crusts or scabs from the laser.  As Dr. Ruekle recommends, keeping them most with aquaphor or Vaseline petroleum jelly is critical at this point.  You need to apply it every two hours.  You also need to VIGILANTLY avoid the sun.  You can put a zinc oxide based sunscreen on as well in the morning before you apply the ointment. If they are scabs, they will peel off wiithin the next several days.  Don't help it along by rubbing or picking.   The skin underneath may be pink and at that time you are at high risk for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation so the sunscreen ans sun avoidance are critical.  If it is hyperpigmented already, then I agree with a strong HQ used twice daily as well as a topical vitamin C serum and perhaps even a retinoids or glycolic acid product.  These decisions can be made by an excellent board certified dermatologist with experience in laser procedures.  Go to the web site for the American Society for Lasers in Surgery and Medicine as well as the American Society for Dermatological Surgery to find someone in your area.  I am quite confident you will be fine by your wedding and definitely not scarred for life.
