The 1st treatment left strange lines across my face where the laser was applied.The 2nd treatment left burn marks, red spots, rash, and infection on the treated areas.I am concerned about the red marks.

Is there a milder treatment that would not affect me as traumatically. looking forward to your suggestions to help me through this.
