IPL burn marks on legs. How should I go about the healing process? (Photo)

Cynthiadj127
Two days ago I received LPL treatment for the first time on my legs for hair removal.. I noticed the machine fluctuated at 69 to 70. As my electrician did the first zap I looked and noticed a seared mark.. I told her and she insisted it was fine. Needless to say I resemble a grilled chicken and still have hair growth. I am applying generous amounts of aloe and zinc oxide but I am terrified about the scarring. What should I do?
