omcjarry
Hi, i got laser hair removal done on both my arms 3 weeks ago, and unfortunately, i got burned. The spots at first were dark, but they peeled off and are white now. I have medium to tan skin. I wanted to know if these are permanent, and what i could do to help them get back to normal. I am so worried that they will stay permanent. Please help
