I experienced a "Thermal Event" on my right flank. I felt a burning sensation 13 min into the treatment, then the machine turned off as a safety measure. I had redness as a result. The provider said we can re-treat in 24 hours since it overheated my skin. We re-treated in 3 days. It has been 2 weeks and I have these marks, looks like burn marks! They're very noticeable, brown and the exact shape of the hand piece. How do I treat the marks and make them fade? Will it disappear? I'm very worried.
