I have severely burnt by laser hair removal. What would you recommend to remove the scars?

Asked By:Pixie84 in Edmonton, AB

I was ok after my first laser hair removal.. But to ensure the technician was thorough this time, I marked my body with black eyeliner. I asked the technician multiple times if that was okay & she said it was fine. (As per technician's instructions) I had advils & applied Amila numbing Cream, so I didn't feel anything while it was happening. In conclusion, I now have 100s of burn on my neck, shoulders, breasts & tummy. The painful burns are bleeding & oozing with some scars already forming.
