Asked By:sunshinestatelover in Florida, FL

After 2 weeks of my first laser hair removal treatment I started to notice these red bumps on my legs. I have been using a loofah daily and use a scrub. How can I prevent these red bumps (that I assume are ingrown hairs) and get rid of it? Will it leave me with scars?
