Asked By:suex16 in Los Angeles, CA

Couple weeks ago I waxed my upper lip area and I kind of burned it. The first week it was read and it was burning. The second week it turned brown and smooth it wasn’t burning but There was a brown spot above my upper lip as if I have a mustache. Third week it turned dark brown and makeup does not cover it. I’m wondering would chemical peel help getting rid of that dark brown old wax burn. Or should I go for a laser. I don’t know what treatment I should consider. Please help
