How to Treat Burn Discolorations from IPL Hair Removal Treatment on Bikini Area?

LilAznGurl
I've gotten the laser hair removal treatment on my bikini area on Friday (today is Sunday) with the IPL machine. I am a light-skinned Asian and I'm worried about permanent hyperpigmentation on my bikini area, as I found out later that Friday that I have developed about 4 brown/purplish, slightly raised splotches where the laser head had been. I have had this treatment done 3 times before and never experienced any burns. Should I be worried that these will be permanent or how should I treat them?
