I had diode laser hair removal treatment 2 weeks ago and 2 days earlier, got burn marks. Please advise. (photos)

Question

I had diode laser treatment (2nd session) 2 weeks earlier. 2 days ago, I shaved normally, but overnight I got burn marks and it was burning. After a warm bath, the burning was not there, but burn marks are present. Can you please look at the attached images and advise if these scars would be permanent and what should I do to get rid of these?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

looks like burns that can be treated with skin care and pulsed dye laser. I suggest waiting some time before considering another treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I cannot tell from your photos if there are going to be any long term scarring or color change from these spots but it does not look like a high probability. It would appear that with good care they will heal well. Keep the area protected from friction - rubbing or trauma - including shirt collars. Keep the areas well moisturized with vaseline or aquaphonr. I would also recommend a broad spectrum sunscreen daily. If anything worsens seek medical attention for help and advice.
