help! I Received an IPL laser hair removal treatment in September. I was burned badly and am left with these lightened marks on my skin from the device. Is this something that will resolve or am I scarred for life?

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, waiting six months in between laser hair removal sessions could affect a positive result. The dormant hair follicles could start to regrow. For optimal results, I would wait and start your sessions when you can be on a better schedule. Best of luck...
Strawberry legs can be challenging to treat, especially if it's due to hair being trapped under the skin. It's positive that you've undergone LHR, but the effectiveness can vary. Depending on the thickness and color of your hair, more sessions or a different type of laser might be necessary....
Laser hair removal requires touch up appointments to maintain your results. At SkinMD we recommend coming in twice a year! After you finish the package of 6 treatments you lose about 80-85% of hair growth.
