Will my laser hair removal leave burn scars? (Photo)

June 24, 2017
Asked By:db1215 in Germantown, MD

I had my 5th session of laser hair removal last week and the technician used a different laser on me and it burned my skin. I went to my dermatologist and was prescribed silver sulfadiazine and have to apply it twice a day. My burns have started to peel and have left a mark. I am afraid that these marks will eventually scar. I am currently moisturizing them with as much as I can with aquaphor, neosporin and vitamin e gel capsules. Please advise, I don't want scars or hyperpigmentation
