Will Dark Spots from Laser Hair Removal Lighten with Use of Bio Oil or Cocoa Butter?

January 12, 2011
Asked By:London2204 in London

5 weeks ago both my thighs were burnt from laser hair removal. The burns have now turned into dark spots but never crusted and is under the top layer of the skin. I have been advised by the technician to use bio oil as this is believed to help lighten the scars and should fade after a few weeks. This is not helping. I have an olive complexion and the dark spots have not changed in appearance. Please help!
